Everything Possible

Fred says that he wrote this song at the request of a lesbian couple who wanted a song to sing to their child which affirmed their hopes and wishes for their child. The first release of "Everything Possible" was on the May 1983 (Vol. 2, No. 4) edition of The CooP: The Fast Folk Musical Magazine. He released it next on his Rounder LP No Limit in 1985 on Rounder Records and later on his Fred Small in Concert in 1993.

(revised lyrics by Fred Small to his 2nd verse of the song)Some children grow up strong & bold
While some are quiet & kind
Some race on ahead, some take it slow
Some go in their own way & time
Some women love women, some men love men
Some leave every label behind
You can dream all the day never reaching the end
Of everything possible you’ll find
