You came into this world to make two, three;
Your breaths, your cries, such music to our ears.
The future is unfolding beautifully.
And then they gently handed you to me -
I saw your face, my face through all these years -
Your legacy is limitless and free.
The smile you gave encouraged family
To contemplate your place among the spheres;
The future is unfolding beautifully.
We live a life that’s full of mystery,
Your presence in this very world appears-
Your legacy is limitless and free.
To catch the stars you only have to see
The possibilities that meet frontiers;
The future is unfolding beautifully.
This baby boy, my grandson, may it be
This frantic world should never bring you tears.
Your legacy is limitless and free -
The future is unfolding beautifully.
