Still You

A gentle acoustic folk song for the parent driving home from the appointment where the words were said, and for the child asleep in the back seat who has not changed at all.

Aderet Therapy Weekly is a weekly paediatric physiotherapy podcast for parents of babies and young children, made by Aderet Therapy in Campbelltown, in the Macarthur region of NSW. Each episode mixes short talk segments with original songs written for the week's topic. This is a song from the episode "Is my child's cerebral palsy getting worse?".

Lyrics

Verse

There's a word on a letter on the kitchen bench

And I have read it about a hundred times

And you are under the table with the lid off the pens

Drawing all over the back of my hand

Chorus

And you're still you

You were you before the word

The word is a key to the help that you need

It is not the name of who you are

Verse

I was frightened at ten and relieved by eleven

And I could not tell you which one was true

And the lady just said, love, most people get both

And she went and put the kettle on

Chorus

And you're still you

You were you before the word

The word is a key to the help that you need

It is not the name of who you are

Verse

So I'll fold up the letter and put it away

In the drawer with the cords and the tape

And I'll get down on the floor where the real thing is

And I'll play with the person you are

Chorus

And you're still you

You were you before the word

The word is a key to the help that you need

It is not the name of who you are

Outro

Still you

You were you before the word
