Morning rain on the Oregon glass
Dad says, Ibrahim, breakfast will pass
Dad packed snacks in a paper sack
Raincoat yellow, boots by the mat
Ibrahim laughed at the kitchen screen
A pink little pig made the oatmeal sweet
Oregon fir trees leaned in close
Like they knew the joke he loved the most
Cartoons on, kettle singing low
Tiny socks chasing where the raindrops go
Dad says every ordinary day
Can turn gold when you call my name
Dad in Oregon, coffee in his hand
Ibrahim dancing like a one-kid band
Pink pig on the screen,
rain on the roof
Love feels simple when the morning tells the truth
Hey now, hold on,
this is our song Small house,
big laugh, all day long
Down to the market past dripping pines
Dad makes a map from receipt-paper lines
Ibrahim names every puddle he sees One for the piglet,
one for the trees
The cashier grins at the muddy parade
Little boots squeak through a Saturday
Years run faster than cartoons end
Tiny hands turn into helping hands But Dad will keep that morning
bright
Saved like rain in Oregon light
Dad in Oregon, coffee in his hand
Ibrahim dancing like a one-kid band
Pink pig on the screen,
rain on the roof
Love feels simple when the morning tells the truth
Hey now, hold on,
this is our song Small house,
big laugh, all day long
Ibrahim, sleep while the rain goes on
Dad keeps the kettle warm till dawn (hummmm)
