lyrics

We'll give you a name
And hope that you like it
And hope that it stays
And we'll guard you and guide you
Through all of our days
Even when you'll want us
To just go away

I hope that the world will be so good to you
But I hope that you're better for it
I hope that you're honest and I hope that you're true
I hope you can stand up for those around you
I hope you can love in the darkest of days
Because to love in the light is a breeze
I hope that you know we love you more than you know
And I hope that some day you'll play banjo

If you're like me I know
That times will be lonely, bitter, and cold
But I want more for you
Than I had for myself
A life lived in sunlight
Is better than the shelf

I hope that the world will be so good to you
But I know that it probably won't
It's how you handle yourself when you can't see your home
So I'll teach you to stand on your own
I hope you can love in the darkest of days
Because to love in the light is a breeze
I hope that you know we love you more than you know
And I hope that some day you'll play banjo
