Dear Theodosia (feat. Ben Folds)

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 I 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

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

We'll 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
