Happy children


In this life there's no guarantees right from the very start
It takes all the blood inside your veins, all the kindness in your heart
Don't ask the moon how high you are, he's always looking down
Don't sit in the dark too long, sit in the sun when it comes out

We all meet some funny birds up there in the by and by
Can't make them all love you, there's no need to wonder why
When you're young you wanna be old, when you're old you wanna be young
I wish you all the best in case this life's the only one

I hope you find your true north
I hope you make some dreams come true
I hope you learn early that the love you give all comes right back to you
I hope you get up every time you fall
And you get back in again
But if you only get one thing that's a given
I hope you have happy children

I hope you forgive your parents for the way they messed you up
I hope some of that was just their way of trying to show you love
I bet part of you is still that kid staring at your bedroom wall
Wondering how the world's so big and why you feel so small

I hope you find your true north
I hope you make some dreams come true
I hope you learn early that the love you give all comes right back to you
I hope you get up every time you fall
And you get back in again
But if you only get one thing that's a given
I hope you have happy children
Happy children

I hope you got some money in a mattress and a roof over your head
And every other thing that you ever need is right inside your chest
We might be all a little lost on this great big ball we're spinning on
We're probably just a speck of dust, that's why I hope we all

Find our true north
And make some dreams come true
I hope you learn early that the love you give all comes right back to you
I hope you get up every time you fall
And you get back in again
But if you only get one thing that's a given
If you only get one thing that's a given
I hope you have happy children
Happy children
I hope you have happy children

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
