Offspring

Offspring

Verse 1

Tired boy, he needs a snack

Give him ice cream and pie

Cherry and vanilla will get him energized

Curious boy, he wants to learn

Give him dictionaries and books

He's brimming with potential

Letting it go to waste would be a shame

Lonely boy, he needs a friend

Give him time and space

Let him develop interpersonal skills

And apply them accordingly

Verse 2

Funny boy, he needs an audience

Give him a stage and microphone

Telling jokes will satisfy him

And hopefully entertain others

Creative boy, he wants an outlet

Give him advice and encouragement

He's continually brainstorming and challenging himself

Athletic boy, he needs to play

Give him s bicycle and open field

Strengthening his growing body

Will allow him to achieve good health

Bridge

Asian boy, African boy

Latin boy, European boy

Arabian boy, Native boy

Boy, oh boy, oh boy

Chorus

The past collides with the present

The present determines the future

The future is our offspring

They deserve the best of everything

If we nurture and we inspire

If we teach and love properly

Our offspring will have better chances

At surviving and thriving
