Dear Theodore, what to say to you? You have my eyes, you have your father's name. When you came into our world we cried and you broke our hearts. 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.

Oh, Phillipa when you smile I am slaughtered. My daughter.

Look at my daughter! Pride is not the word I'm looking for. There is so much more inside me now!

Oh, Phillipa you outshine the flowing water. My daughter.

When you smile I fall apart, and I thought I was so smart!

My mother wasn't around...

My mother 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...

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.
