Song for Stella

Congratulations to my brother Matt and sister-in-law Senoe on the birth of their daughter Stella Naga Jordan Torgerson. I wrote her a song (everyone should start off life with their own song) called "Hello World." Here are the lyrics:


Hello world, how do you do
A pleasure finally meeting you
Why yes, I’d love to stay

As soon as can I learn to stand
I’ll cross all your meridians
I’m thinking if I may, I’d like to say:


REFRAIN

Hey-yo what’s up howdeedoo
Ni hao, sabaidee, yiassou
Shalom and gutentag
Que honda with a bon giourno
Salam alei kum, hujambo
G’Day, konnichi wa


I’ll shake the hands of all the trees
The oceans want to play with me
Take lunch up in the sky

The animals all dancing ‘round
The mountains echoing the sounds
As everyone decides to come on by


I know I’ll grow up big and tall
It makes it much more fun to fall
With grass stains on my knees

But here, today, I just arrived
To keep this feeling deep inside
To stay as new and free as I please
