Lin-Manuel Miranda – Dear Theodosia Chords

Dear Theodosia, what to say to you?
You have my eyes, you have your mother’s name
When you came into the world you cried
And it broke my heart

I’m dedicating every day to you
Domestic life was never quite my style, when you smile
You knock me out, I fall apart, and I thought I was so smart

You will come of age with our young nation
We’ll bleed and fight for you, we’ll make it right for you
If we lay a strong enough foundation
We’ll pass it on to you, we’ll give the world to you
And you’ll blow us all away, someday, someday
Yeah, you’ll blow us all away, someday, someday

Oh, Phillip when you smile I am undone
My son, look at my son
Pride is not the word I’m looking for
There is so much more inside me now
Oh, Phillip you outshine the morning sun
My son, when you smile
I fall apart, and I thought I was so smart

My father wasn’t around (My father wasn’t around)
I swear that I’ll be around for you
I’ll do whatever it takes (I’ll make a million mistakes)
I’ll make the world safe and sound for you

You’ll come of age with our young nation
We’ll bleed and fight for you, we’ll make it right for you
If we lay a strong enough foundation
We’ll pass it on to you, we’ll give the world to you
And you’ll blow us all away, someday, someday
Yeah, you’ll blow us all away, someday, someday
