"I Hope" for 2023 (Parody of I Hope by Gabby Barrett)

Verse 1

I, I hope you run those miles

Though you haven't for awhile to show you can do it on your own

That you feel you can go out into the unknown

Oh baby I, I hope that you stay strong

That nothing will go wrong and that you'll never get deterred

That your last months of school will turn into a blur, yeah

CHORUS

I hope you leave home, get out and go thrive

I hope you know that you've never shined quite this bright

I hope you never ever felt more free

Tell your family you're so happy

I hope you get to school and find the time to laugh and dance

I hope you find yourself, take charge and command

I hope you're wilder than your wildest dreams

You find everything you're ever gonna need

I hope you feel complete

That you let life be

And then I hope you feel complete

That you let life be

Verse 2

Yeah, babe, I hope you find people there you can befriend

That they call you all night or just on a whim

I hope you stay up all night cause you're in the zone

Waitin' by the phone and then he calls

And, baby, I, I hope you work it out

That you deal with no regret forget

Find a way to commit

And that you think this is it with that very first kiss

CHORUS

I hope you leave home, get out and go thrive

I hope you know that you've never shined quite this bright

I hope you never ever felt more free

Tell your family you're so happy

I hope you get to school and find the time to laugh and dance

I hope you find yourself, take charge and command

I hope you're wilder than your wildest dreams

You find everything you're ever gonna need

I hope you feel complete

That you let life be

And then I hope you feel complete

That you let life be

Verse 2

BRIDGE

I hope you'll grow

Avoid those meltdowns

I hope you get the things you prefer

That you'll get them someway somehow

CHORUS
