Lyrics

To You

Father’s voice the softest wisdom
A gentle pause let him draw from his pipe
From smoke I thought was magic
Came words that touched my soul
And every word he thought about
Caught a question tumbling
The hand he offered me to hold will one day be my own

Chorus
The love that gave me life
The flame that guides my light in all I do
I offer up my love to you
The tender fire of life, you fanned my flame
And I will light a candle from our same flame
To you

Mother I could hear your heartbeat
From the day your wish began to breathe
And I still shelter there when life becomes too real
I wonder how your warm embrace
Could stretch across the continents to me
And now I hear your laughter from children of my own

Chorus
