You got it from my uncle,
the best man that ever lived.
I named you little bundle
So, you may live, as he lived.
I see no reason why
I should name you David.
As I sing you lullabies,
A name to me so sacred.
He was a man of honor;
uncompromising loyalty,
and though he’s here no longer
wear the name as royalty.
It’s a blessing you got it
And a worthy name to wear.
Whose name is a torch of life lit
And a melody to the ear.
He left this world & left his name
And there’s no doubt that he did.
Like the sun imparting its
Shining light upon my kid.
A name that will lift you up
To my uncle’s stature.
To drink of that honored cup
Is to drink of his very nature.
He would’ve been very happy
In the day when you were born,
And I would do anything gladly
To see his name proudly worn.
