Giggles and goo gahs in bed
I sit here and listen to all you have said
Your own little language
What goes through your head
At the end of the day
Your own little you
A mystery to me
But you start shinning through
One day you’ll be
Your own little man
Don’t stop thinking of me – your mummy
CH
I pray you grow up so bold
That you never get old
Though tossed by the sea
You’re still anchored to me
You’ll find your own way
And you’ll learn to be brave
Oh Jesse
Learn to live free
Shin digs and who ha’s in bed
And all kinds of bullshit, I’m sure you’ll be fed
Navigate your way
To the one who can save you
From all things, heart and head
Bright eyed and bushy you’ll love
And if there’s one ounce of truth
I hope you’ll hold it above
All else in this song
Let it move you and shake you and show you the way
My boy have faith

Beloved

I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine
Seeded in these truths we will stand the test of time
In giving to you I gain
In falling I am found and hope to remain
If I do not give, I have nothing to loose
But I have not ever really loved
Ch
Jumping at the same time
Oh I’m jumping now
We will mutually abandon, abandon this ground
Ohhh If you catch me I will catch you
Oh I’m jumping now
To mutually abandon, abandon this ground
Cause people are worth dying for
So I’ll die to me and you die to you
And what we have left is us
And what we have left is us
Ohhhhh and what we have left is love

Shining for You

V1
I settled into the day
Wiped my tears away….ooooo
You hung your bag on the hook
No turning back
No second look….ooooo
I hung awkwardly at the fence
You ran around with all your friends
I think it’s hardest of all for me
Go spread your wings so young and free.
CH
Cause I’ll be waiting for you
The sun is shining for you …oooo
V2
The world it takes you bit at a time
You become yourself no longer mine
Your maker made you good and strong
To sing his life long song
To your heart always stay true
He will provide all things good
Embrace these moments like a child
Arms flung open, eyes big and wide
Bridge
I find it strange to let you go
Though you reside just down the road
I deeply want for you the best
You put these heart strings to the test
