Episode Synopsis

This song is about my 9 grandchildren...... a sort of American Pie-ish take on their potential.   Lyrics:     I think you could flip (Ella) the script show how to stand like a rock like a narrow neck bottle that makes the world take note   I think you could smile (Olivia) though joy show the wonders of the world like that first magic kiss that blows evil away   I think you could dig (Ava) out answers show the tree of humility just like a life dictionary that orders the way of our thoughts     I think you could skate (Bennett) to solutions show a long addition sum Like a secret nerve triggered that forces life interrupted   I think you could speak (Maya) the language and show a banquet of consequences like a book of wisdom that brings air to the soul.   I think you could box (Mason) the world show how to contain stupidity like a shirt with a hundred pockets that feeds the germ of happiness   I think you could swim (Brooklyn) the future and show the cul de sac of life like a vacuum on carpet that sweeps the way home   I think you could climb (Molly) the cliff show the strength of feeling like a butterfly beyond grasp that sails in no direction.   I think you could game (Maverick) the journey show fuel for determination  like a rocket on a rising path that drums the beat of persistence   Chorus I know you could do I know you can do in your way of verbs that shows who you are
