Here Before
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
once I had a child
he was wilder than moonlight
he could do it all
like he'd been here before
once I had a child
she was smiling like sunshine
she could see it all
like she'd been here before
then I had a child
took his while like northern summer
and he knows it all
like he's been here before
