dear theodosia (reprise)

dear theodosia

how to say to you

sometime last night

your mother breathed your name

and like a flame that flickers out too soon

she died

she's gone

she dedicated every day to you

she changed my life

she made my life worthwhile

and when you smile

i know a part of her lives on

i know i can go on

you have come of age with our young nation

we bleed and fight for you

sometimes it seems that's all we do

and you and i will build a strong foundation

and i'll be here for you

the way is clear for you to blow us all away

someday

someday

yeah you'll blow us all away

someday

someday.
