Dear Theodosia

[Verse 1: Regina Spektor]

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

[Pre-Chorus: Regina Spektor & Ben Folds]

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

[Chorus: Regina Spektor]

And you’ll blow us all away…

Someday, someday

Yeah, you’ll blow us all away

Someday, someday

[Bridge: Ben Folds, Regina Spektor, together]

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…

[Pre-Chorus: Regina Spektor, Ben Folds]

...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 (on to you)

We’ll give the world to you (world to you)

[Outro: Regina Spektor]

And you’ll blow us all away...

Someday, someday

Yeah, you’ll blow us all away

Someday, someday
