CARRY THE SUN

Why does the grass look so much greener?
So new and moist and fresh,
Why do I feel compelled towards it?
To break through this emotional wire mesh.
For as I look down and around my feet
At the baron wasteland our love's become,
I try to remember the times before
When you chased rain clouds and carried the sun.
You chased the rain clouds which furrowed my brow,
Carried the sun which made love so real,
We ourselves were once new, moist and fresh,
Now I must escape this stagnant pool.
So if I were to run free into pastures new,
Would I see you laughing and carrying the sun?
Or would I go forward and never look back?
Too ashamed to see what I had done.

MY SON

As I watch my new born baby sleep
I wonder if he sees me
I wonder how he views the world
What he’s going to be

As I say to my three year old ‘good night’
And watch him go to bed
I want to teach him all I know
And prepare him for what lies ahead

As my five year old boy starts at school
I know from the very first day
That now his life really begins
And I’ll be beside him every step of the way

As my teenage son hangs out with his friends
I’m nervous! Are they a good crowd?
Will they be able to stay out of trouble?
Will they be able to make their dads proud?

My son, the young man, has had his heart broken
For the first time, I’m sorry to say
I want to hug him and say it’s alright
But would his pride make him push me away?

My son, in his thirties, now a father himself
As the cycle starts over again
I watch them play with envious eyes
As I remember what happened back then

My son, in his fifties, is doing alright
Still visits me once a year
Just the same as he always has
Still sheds that single tear

Now in his eighties, he’s never let go of the picture
His mother gave him of me
I wish I could have talked with him, just for one day
So that my pride in him he could see

This is a little music video form the musical I co-wrote called Dreams and Promises. I slapped this together from rough cuts which is why it looks rubbish! I wrote the songs for the show as well. It was staged in March 2006.

Another video I cobbled together from scrap pieces of footage. I'm a better vT editor than this normally!!
