Offspring

Verse 1
Tired boy, he needs a snack
Give him ice cream and pie
Cherry and vanilla will get him energized
Curious boy, he wants to learn
Give him dictionaries and books
He'd brimming with potential
Letting it go to waste would be a shame
Lonely boy, he needs a friend
Give him time and space
Let him develop interpersonal skills
And apply them accordingly

Verse 2
Funny boy, he needs an audience
Give him a stage and microphone
Telling jokes will satisfy him
And hopefully entertain others
Creative boy, he wants an outlet
Give him advice and encouragement
He's continually brainstorming and challenging himself
Athletic boy, he needs to play
Give him s bicycle and open field
Strengthening his growing body
Will allow him to achieve good health

Bridge
Asian boy, African boy
Latin boy, European boy
Arabian boy, Native boy
Boy, oh boy, oh boy

Chorus
The past collides with the present
The present determines the future
The future is our offspring
They deserve the best of everything
If we nurture and we inspire
If we teach and love properly
Our offspring will have better chances
At surviving and thriving
