about

I wrote this song as a Christmas gift for my extended family. I send it out with all my love & hope for the newest of our clan: Elijah, Natasha and Alex.

lyrics

Though I cross the world in my travels
Secrets and wonders that I see
Still inside my heart is a yearning
Deep is the place for family

All my fame and all of my fortune
Everything that I've achieved
I will bring it here to the hearthstone
All of it gift for family

Chorus:
We are carrying the day
Shining on each other's way
Gallantly we stand
This home and family

Sons and fathers, mothers and daughters
Each in the other's eyes will see
Visions of the road we will travel
Leaves on the tree of family
Hand to hand throughout generations
Tenderly passing on our dreams
Whispered in the ears of the babies
These are the songs our children sing.

Chorus:
They are carrying the day
Shining on each other's way
keeping hope in hand
for home and family

When the world has cast me to bottom
dashed on the rocks, and lost at sea
When my life is stretched to the breaking
will remember family

Little babe I hold in my arms now
Thanks for the wondrous gifts you bring
Listen I will tell you the story
Tell you about this family

Chorus
We are carrying the day
Shining on each other's way
Gallantly we stand
This home and family

We are carrying the day
going forth to pave the way
Keeping hope in hand
for home and family
