Thomas Oliver - Future Child Lyrics

Dear my future child I hope I have
I've been observing, learning how to dad
One thing that's for certain is I'll be your friend
And when you need me I'll defend you till the end
Cause the world can be so bitter
But the world can be so sweet
I don't want to teach you
But I'll guide you till you learn
I don't want to speak I'd rather listen
Everything I am is everything that you can have
Just teach me all you know about being little
When you look at me, what do you see?
Cause when I look at you, I see some me
Without the scars and wounds within my heart
But I hope you, too, can always see through the dark
Cause hurt can make us bitter
But love can make us sweeter
I don't want to teach you
But I'll guide you till you learn
I don't want to speak I'd rather listen
Everything I am is everything that you can have
Just teach me all you know about being little
Show me all the things that I've forgotten
I'll give you all the sweet things I was given
And I'll see you when you're ready to be living.

Dear my future child I hope I have
I've been observing, learning how to dad
One thing that's for certain is I'll be your friend
And when you need me I'll defend you till the end
Cause the world can be so bitter
But the world can be so sweet
I don't want to teach you
But I'll guide you till you learn
I don't want to speak I'd rather listen
Everything I am is everything that you can have
Just teach me all you know about being little
When you look at me, what do you see?
Cause when I look at you, I see some me
Without the scars and wounds within my heart
But I hope you, too, can always see through the dark
Cause hurt can make us bitter
But love can make us sweeter
I don't want to teach you
But I'll guide you till you learn
I don't want to speak I'd rather listen
Everything I am is everything that you can have
Just teach me all you know about being little
Show me all the things that I've forgotten
I'll give you all the sweet things I was given
And I'll see you when you're ready to be living.
