Intro:
| G | C |
Who are we when we always change;
| Em | D |
What are we when we don’t remain?[Verse 1]
| G | C |
Becky Ann, you’re born McKay,
| Em | D |
You are One, but a Clark, you stay.
| G | C |
You are One, the only One—
| Em | D |
You Are—Becky Ann.[Chorus]
| G | C |
I see a board; in bold, your name.
| Em | D |
It has your face; it shines the same.
| G | C |
And your smile, simply saying,
| Em | D |
“Becky Ann—You Are.”[Verse 2]
| G | C |
Becky Ann, you’re Mum to One.
| Em | D |
And for your One, a Clark you’ve stayed.
| G | C |
For your One, your only One—
| Em | D |
You stay—Becky Ann.[Bridge]
| C | G |
I don’t say but I pray your name.
| Em | D |
I hear your man still feels no shame.
| C | G |
I have no words; you feel no disdain:
| Em | D |
“Becky Ann—You Are.”[Final Chorus]
| G | C |
I see a banner, bold and bright,
| Em | D |
It has your face all up in light.
| G | C |
Your name in colour; shining loud:
| Em | D |
“You Are—Becky Ann.”Outro:
| G | C |
You are you, though we always change;
| Em | D |
You’re still you, though we don’t remain.
