A new song

My girls have many things that they love and love to do but one thing wins out above them all. They love to write music. Everyday they are having us listen to another song they have written and we are always amazed at how young they are and what they are coming up with, especially lyrically. So yesterday Olivia finished off a song and last night I kept waking up with it playing in my head. For some reason (probably because they are on my mind) it makes me think of a love story (Stephanie and Christian). The song may not apply totally but their story is so compelling almost everything around me makes me think of them.


Here are the lyrics.
By Olivia Bray (11 yrs old)

You turn me on, Got me moving at the speed of light
and you've got my hand, don't let go I am trusting you.
You attract me, with that smile, that's unbeatable
and you, know that I, couldn't live without you.

Chorus
And I've got to know where you're taking me
yeah, I've got to know where you're going
When you took my hand you promised
to catch me any time I fall

You light me up, like the sky on a summer night
and you give me hope to move on when I've lost the fight

Chorus:
But Ive got to know where you're taking me
and I need to know where you're going
when you took my hand you promised me
to hold me up if I start to fall

Bridge:
And I know that you're always gonna be there
yeah I know that you are always gonna care

Chorus:
And I don't care where you're taking me
I want to go where you're going
Just take my hand and I promise
to catch you anytime you fall.

You light me up like the sky on a summer night
and you give me hope to move on when I think I've lost the fight.

I made her record it this morning first thing before she had even gotten ready. Thanks Olivia! She ended up waking up the little girls who were not happy to be up at 6:30 am. Oh well. The accompaniment needs to be arranged and is slightly raw so right now it is just basic chords.
