I could have said

[U1]

I could have said
Just become who you are
And the big rhyme, you’re gonna be a huge star
Or you should buy an expensive car
Or you should leave your footprint in the tar

To the child that is coming
That’ll get the world
To conquer

I could have said
Everything’s fucked up
And by yourself, you’ll see how people’s messed up
How they fight one another, how they lie
How they soil nature and how they die

To the child that is coming
That’ll get the world
To change

I could have made
A long and serious speech
But it’s all about life and living through it
And all about fun, all about friendship
And about sex and relationships

To the child that is coming
That’ll get the world
To love
