Dear Little Children [Parody of “Dear Theodosia” (from ‘Hamilton’) by Lin-Manuel Miranda]

Dear Theodosia, what to say to you? Dear little children, this we pray for you You have my eyes. You have your mother's name For opened eyes, For Christ to call your name. When you came into the world, you cried and it When you came into the world, we cried, with a broke my heart broken heart

I'm dedicating every day to you We’re dedicating all your days to God Domestic life was never quite my style The Bread of Life, to guide you through your trials When you smile, you knock me out, I fall apart And your smiles. He shines His light upon the just, And I thought I was so smart And in Him we put our trust.

You will come of age with our young nation God has given us this obligation We'll bleed and fight for you, we'll make it right We'll teach and comfort you, God's words in front of for you you. If we lay a strong enough foundation We have made the Bible your foundation We'll pass it on to you, we'll give the world to you We'll follow Christ with you, but Satan's tempting you And you'll blow us all away... Will you throw it all away? Someday, someday We pray, obey Yeah, you'll blow us all away Only God can keep your way Someday, someday We live by faith

Oh Philip, when you smile I am undone Oh children, there is hope in only one My son God's Son Look at my son. Pride is not the word I'm looking for Look to the Son! Pride is not a thing worth dying for.

There is so much more inside me now Nothing in this world should make you proud Oh Philip, you outshine the morning sun Oh children, don't forget the morning sun My son God's Son When you smile, I fall apart Be reconciled! A broken heart And I thought I was so smart Is acceptable with God My father wasn't around There's only darkness around

My father wasn't around There is no hope to be found I swear that Unless the I'll be around for you. Father has chosen you I'll do whatever it takes We'll help you run in this race I'll make a million mistakes And we'll forgive your mistakes I'll make the world safe and sound for you... But we will not lose our crown for you

...will come of age with our young nation He's given us this obligation We'll bleed and fight for you, we'll make it right We'll teach and comfort you, God's words in front of for you you. If we lay a strong enough foundation We have made the Bible your foundation We'll pass it on to you, we'll give the world to you We'll follow Christ with you, but Satan's tempting you And you'll blow us all away...
