Thanks to the Sydney Fringe Festival for having me. I wrote this song for my daughter, born Feb 2021.
One hand to write words
the other to hold you
and the song that's standing by
to be plucked out of the clouds
it is quivering in the sky
with humility and grace it gazes down
waiting to be found
didn't you hear now?
didn't you hear
yeah, she is here now
yeah she is here
and didn't you feel how?
Oh did you feel
a little hope, a subtle shift
we saw that suddenly the sun came pouring in
didn't you hear?
One hand to make chords
five fingers on the keys
just the essence of a sound
stripped of all it doesn't need
God only knows the time we wasted
before you came and taught us how to set it free
and when to let it be
didn't you hear now?
didn't you hear
yeah, she is here now
yeah she is here
and didn't you feel how?
Oh did you feel
a little hope, a subtle shift
we saw that suddenly the sun came pouring in
didn't you hear?
Heroes, there are none
to a dream, don't be holding on
too tight, don't be sure
that you know what the dream was for
that you know what's around the bend
don't pretend, just be true
to what you can humbly do with
one hand, my sweet child
'cause your other hand's a home
for this wandering heart of mine
that you rescued from the sea
God only knows the time I wasted
before you came and taught me how to set it free
and now we guarantee
a worthy melody
