about

A song for my wife.

lyrics

Sittin' on a park bench
watching the river roll
the grey overhead reflects in the water

Worry fills my head with monochrome,
but your steady peaceful voice restores the color

I turn my head to see your knowing smile
It brings me to my feet
to the here and now

Side by side
we run this course
we are what we need
we balance each other out

- Here we are, hand in hand
- face forward
- eyes forward
- here we are, transcending it all
- on the road to forever

- Making marks on a legacy
- of struggles, faith and victory
- hard-earned wisdom is a consequence of remaining true
- sharing time with you brings
- all of the blessings surrounding me
- humbled by, and thankful for
- when your patch of blue shines through

I live my life
Live with my choices
Walking the road with you has been the easiest one to make
We were surrounded by a swarm of nay-saying voices,
telling us we didn't have what it takes
But...

- Here we are, hand in hand
- face forward
- eyes forward
- here we are, transcending it all
- on the road to forever

- Making marks on a legacy
- of struggles, faith and victory
- hard-earned wisdom is a consequence of remaining true
- sharing time with you brings
- all of the blessings surrounding me
- humbled by, and thankful for
- when your patch of blue shines through
