Faithless - I Hope

I hope you understand what fear is before you have to feel it. I hope my neurosis don't rub off on you. I hope you always have enough to eat. I hope you're never bullied and I hope you never bully others. I hope you find love. I hope you don't die before your time. I hope you don't blame yourself for things that are not your fault. I hope you're always playing your tape and I hope you'll visit me when I'm old. I hope you are true to yourself. I hope that rejection doesn't stop you loving. I hope you never experience war. What, are you come to teach me? Well, would you want 'Philosophy' or 'The New Wayne Rooney' ? Will it be poetry that lights your eyes? Mine are shining and my tears flow free... Oh my son, what have I done? Brought perfection to this world of confusion heedlessly... Now you're the one feeding me, Because I never knew love like this, endlessly reaching back through eternity that I can clearly see in your face when you smile at me and grab my finger. I hope you outlive your parents. I hope you never bury your children. I hope you outlive your parents. I hope you never bury your children. I don't mind whether you're a boy or a girl, I just want you to be healthy. I hope we enjoy every minute of you growing up. I hope you lead your world to victory.
