lyrics

You kick me, I poke you
it’s a little game we play
We’ve never met, but I’ll bet
we’re gonna love you, anyway

But are we old enough, are we wise enough?
Have we really thought this through?
On the other hand, we’re older than
we’ve ever been

Oh may God keep you, our little one
cuddled in your cozy water bed
Yes may God keep you, our little one
‘cause truth be told we might be in over our heads

Well there’s a pink sunrise, and a white mountain top
and a river running right outside our door
We’ve got the fireplace, and the big stacks of books
and hand-me-downs, galore

Grandmas and Grandpas, friends close and far away
all can’t wait to see your face
And a parent up above, so much better than us
who can right the wrongs we silly grown-ups make

Oh may God keep you, our little one
when you’re big and when you’re small, and in-between
Yes may God keep you, our little one
and we’ll love you more than anything

Yet as I step outside, I smell those wildfires
growing fiercer every fall
Under an alien sky I read the angry lawn signs
oh the world’s so big and your’re so small

So may God keep you, our little one
when you’re brave and when you’re scared, and in-between
And may God show you, our little one
that in giving love away more love is gained
so we don’t need to clench our fists or be afraid
because giving love’s the way we’re born to be

You kick me, I poke you
it’s a little game we play
