about

This is a song inspired by my son as a two year old playing on the back deck of our place.

lyrics

Child in the world

Child in the world
Don’t look back over your shoulder
To find happiness
No matter how well you plan or
How you strategise
One day a lighting bolt will
Take you by surprise

Child you yearn to grow
But the things you want to
Hold seem out of reach
That’s OK cause one day
You will find the means
To make your dreams come real
There’s no need to rush

Vocalize

Child your life will change
And things will change around you
Till one day you wake
To a world where
Everything is different
And the things you planned
Seem so far away

Child of your own
Dancing in pajamas
Learning how to grow
While dust motes drift
Slowly in the sunlight
The quiet seconds mark
The years that you share

Vocalise

Child in the world
Child you yearn to grow
Child your life will change
Child of your own
