Faithless - I Hope lyrics

rate me

<BR>

I hope you understand<br>

What fear is before you have to feel it<br>

I hope my neurosis don't rub off on you<br>

I hope you always have enough to eat<br>

<br>

I hope you're never bullied<br>

And I hope you never bully others<br>

I hope you find love<br>

I hope you don't die before your time<br>

<br>

I hope you don't blame yourself<br>

For things that are not your fault<br>

I hope you're always playing your tape<br>

And I hope you'll visit me when I'm old<br>

<br>

I hope you are true to yourself<br>

I hope that rejection doesn't stop you loving<br>

I hope you never experience war<br>

<br>

What are you come to teach me?<br>

Well, would you want 'Philosophy'<br>

Or 'The New Wayne Rooney'?<br>

Will it be poetry that lights your eyes?<br>

Mine are shining and my tears flow free<br>

Oh my son, what have I done?<br>

<br>

Brought perfection to this world<br>

Of confusion heedlessly<br>

Now you're the one feeding me<br>

Because I never knew love like this<br>

<br>

Endlessly reaching back through eternity<br>

That I can clearly see in your face<br>

When you smile at me and grab my finger<br>

<br>

I hope you outlive your parents<br>

I hope you never bury your children<br>

<br>

I hope you outlive your parents<br>

I hope you never bury your children<br>

<br>

I don't mind whether you're a boy or a girl<br>

I just want you to be healthy<br>

I hope we enjoy every minute of you growing up<br>

I hope you lead your world to victory<br>

<BR><BR>
