lyrics

I often wonder who you will be; will you be more like her or more like me?
And I often hope that you'll be an oddity, someone the world can't classify easily
And I hope you hold your head up triumphantly
I hope you open up to failure, fearlessly
I hope you see everyone instead of what everyone sees
And I want you to know that whoever you turn out to be
You'll always be my baby

I often wonder how I am to explain all of the ignorance you'll have to face
And I often hope that this time the times do change
But if you're up against the same old things
Then I hope you question everything that you're told
I hope before you purchase, you take stock of what you're being sold
I hope you show your substance by never letting it be controlled
And I want you to know that no matter how your life unfolds
You'll never, ever be alone

And everything you need is everything you've got
Don't ever believe that you're anything you're not
I want you to be free, I want you to go far
But most of all, to be exactly who you are

I hope your deepest wishes all will come true
I hope you have a vision, but know it's not a universal view
I hope you see difference as only in sight for seeing through
And I want you to know that no matter what you say or do
I couldn't be more proud of you
And I want you to know that
