Blessed

The speaker addresses a child who has not yet been born, imagining a future relationship before it has begun. The feeling is tender and hopeful, but also urgent: the speaker wants to be present long enough to hold the child, walk beside them, and see them grow. The repeated promise that the child will be “blessed” expresses a wish for a loved and fortunate life.

Several images make this hope vivid. The child is “a child in my head,” suggesting that they exist for now in the speaker’s imagination. The possible green or blue eyes show that the speaker does not know what the child will look like, yet already feels affection. “Pick a star from the sky” is an extravagant promise: it suggests wanting to give the child something wonderful, not a literal plan.

The word “blessed” may suggest good fortune, protection, or simply being deeply loved; the lyrics do not settle on just one meaning. The line about needing the child before growing too old adds a note of vulnerability. It could reflect awareness that time is limited, but the song does not explain the speaker’s circumstances. Overall, the lyrics hold joy and longing together: the child is still only a dream, while the speaker’s hopes already feel real.
