Romanovsky & Phillips Love Is All It Takes
(Now more than ever, with the far right trying to define the structure of the family for us, we must honor and support the courageous women and men who affirm the true definition of family every day of their lives. Dedicated with love to gay and lesbian parents everywhere.) Good night my daughter Sleep tight, my son The world is full of injustices Of which you know none I wish that I could shelter you So you'd never have to see The ways in which some folks have made An outlaw out of me Good night, my precious Sweet dreams, my little one While the lawyers and the courts decide What is to be done I wish that you could tell them all, When they dare to question me, That we're every bit the model Of a perfect family It's not the pot that grows the flower It's not the clock that slows the hour The definition's plain for anyone to see Love is all it takes to make a family Good night, my child So innocent, so young When they start teaching you to hate me I pray you won't succumb To prejudice and bigotry To ignorance and shame Because I'm proud of who I am And hope you'll feel the same
