Story Behind The Song

I got my first instrument, an Ibanez 6 string for father's day a year and a half ago. I don't have any training and I've learned to play and write on my own. With the birth of my first child, I started thinking about lyrics for a song for her. I had been playing for a year when my second child was born and I had just picked up ProTools and a keyboard. While watching my new son sleep, I finished the music and lyrics. I wrote all parts, played each instrument and arranged the song myself including mix. So please, if you can, give me the benefit of any help you can share.

Lyrics

I hold in my arms the very meaning of life
tears while I watch you sleep
You mean more to me than you'll ever know
But there's more I want to share tonight

See I'll be there and help'n you grow
Hope'n my actions will show
That you are the very air that I breathe
But there'll be times when I fail you I know


Chorus--------------------------------

Open your eyes it's time to play
A new days comin' your heart is yurning
You've got to share your love every day
Living, learning while the earth is turning
You can trust in your heart to lead your way

Verse 3 & 4 ---------

There will be times when life seems unfair
Maybe thinking I don't care
On my life I promise that will never be true
When times are tough I'll always be there

So as you sleep safe in my arms
Just before I put you to bed
Know I've waited my whole life just for you
And you can always come and rest your head


Chorus--------------------------------

Open your eyes it's time to play
A new days comin' your feel a yurning
You've got to share your love when you play
Living, learning while the earth is turning
You can trust in your heart to lead the way
