Dear Theodosia

Lyrics

Dear Theodosia, what to say to you?
 You have my eyes, you have your mother's name
 When you came into the world, you cried
 And it broke my heart
 I'm dedicating every day to you
 Domestic life was never quite my style
 When you smile, you knock me out, I fall apart
 And to thought I was so smart
 You will come of age with our young nation
 We'll bleed and fight for you
 We'll make it right for you
 If we lay a strong enough foundation
 We'll pass it on to you, we'll give the world to you
 And you'll blow us all away
 Someday, someday
 Yeah, you'll blow us all away
 Someday, someday
 Oh, Philip, when you smile I am undone
 My son, look at my son
 Pride is not the word I'm looking for
 There is so much more inside me now
 Oh, Philip, you outshine the morning sun
 My son
 When you smile, I fall apart
 And I thought I was so smart
 My father wasn't around (my father wasn't around)
 I swear that I'll be around for you
 I'll do whatever it takes (I'll make a million mistakes)
 I'll make the world safe and sound for you
 Will come of age with our young nation
 We'll bleed and fight for you
 We'll make it right for you
 If we lay a strong enough foundation
 We'll pass it on to you, we'll give the world to you
 And you'll blow us all away
 Someday, someday
 Yeah, you'll blow us all away
 Someday, someday
