From the recording Hand in Mine
I wrote this song for my daughter and also for any parent that has been blessed with a son or a daughter. Being a parent has been the most joyful and rewarding experience of my life.
Lyrics
''Hand in Mine'
Music of the wind blowing in the trees
A sky with a rainbow above
Message of change coming my way
I know it must be love
God laid you in my arms
All tiny and new
Your little hand in mine
I love you too
I watched you crawl and then to walk
Baby steps as you talked
Skinned knees and drying tears
Washed away any fears
And as you grew from year to year
Feeling so much pride
Follow your dreams no matter how far
I will always confide
God laid you in my arms
All tiny and new
Your little hand in mine
I love you too
(Instrumental)
Now you’re all grown
With a child of your own
Eyes filled with love today
Music of the wind blowing in the trees
A rainbow above
We say
God laid you in my arms
All tiny and new
Your little hand in mine
I love you too
