about

This song is about a few different ways to make families. Do you know anyone with one parent? What about families where the parents are divorced? Most people know that any two people, regardless of their gender, can raise children, but did you know that some kids have three or more parents? There are other ways to make families too, like open adoption, where a kid is raised by two or more parents but still has a relationship with the person who gave birth to them. The ways to make good families are endless, as long as there’s love!

lyrics

When my mom had me
I didn't have a dad
But she had a couple friends that she thought were pretty rad
Now we all live together in a big purple house
And they're all my folks although nobody has a spouse

Although my dads are great and can't be beat
When my momma comes to see us it's a real special treat
She wanted to find people who could take good care of me
And now I am a part of a bigger family

Well golly gee, I sure do feel lucky
That both my moms got to help out
When they made made
I've been so proud since I was a baby
That one of my moms is a transgender lady

Well there's just one of me
And just one of him
But I couldn't have picked a better dad or friend
It doesn't matter if your family is big or small
My daddy's been my biggest fan since I could crawl

Though they tried real hard to make it work at first
My parents thought it would be better if they got a divorce
Although my parents don't get along
Their love for me is really strong!

Though my mom is stellar and my dad's lovely
There are so many kids and grown-up here that care about me
We can wander round our land without getting into trouble
Cause if there's any danger they'll be there on the double

Chorus:

Families come
In all shapes and sizes
If we're going to get along what we need to realize is
There are lots of different ways
For us to care for one another
All that really matters is that we love each other

about

Bicycle Face Seattle, Washington

Back when bicycles were first invented, doctors told women that if they raced on their bicycles, their face would get stuck in a strained-looking, bulgy-eyed mess. Thankfully, we have disproved this theory, and our bicycle faces are all smiles!
Bicycle Face is a musical project by Lichen & Evan. We believe that it's important to teach history so that children know that they can change the future!
