Happy Children Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In this life there's no guarantee
Right from the very start
Takes all the blood inside your veins
All the kindness in your heart
Don't ask the moon how high you are
He's always lookin' down
Don't sit in the dark too long
Sit in the sun when it comes out

[Verse 2]
Y'all meet some funny birds
Out there in the by and by
You can't make them all love you
There's no need to wonder why
When you're young you wanna be old
When you're old you wanna be young
I wish you all the best in case this life's the only one

[Chorus]
Hope you find thе true North
Hope you make somе dreams come true
I hope you learn early that the love you give
All comes right back to you
I hope you get up every time you fall
And you get back in again
But if you only get one thing that's a given
I hope you have happy children

[Verse 3]
I hope you forgive your parents
For the ways they messed you up
I hope some of that was just their way
Of trying to show you love
I bet part of you is still that kid
Staring at your bedroom wall
Wondering how the world's so big
And why it feels so small

[Chorus]
I hope you find the true North
I hope you make some dreams come true
I hope you learn early that the love you give
All comes right back to you
I hope you get up every time you fall
And you get back in again
But if you only get one thing that's a given
I hope you have happy children

[Post-Chorus]
Happy children

[Bridge]
I hope you got some money in the mattress
And a roof over your head
And every other thing that you ever need is right inside your chest
It might be all a little lost
On this great big ball we're spinnin' on
We're probably just a speck of dust
That's why I hope we are

[Chorus]
Finding our true North
And make some dreams come true
I hope you learn early that the love you give
All comes right back to you
I hope you get up every time you fall
And you get back in again
But if you only get one thing that's a given
If you only get one thing that's a given
I hope you have happy children

[Post-Chorus]
Happy children
I hope you have happy children
