By Elton John and Bernie Taupin
Hey you, you're a child in my head
You haven't walked yet
Your first words have yet to be said
But I swear you'll be blessed
I know you're still just a dream
your eyes might be green
Or the bluest that I've ever seen
Anyway you'll be blessed
And you, you'll be blessed
You'll have the best
I promise you that
I'll pick a star from the sky
pull your name from a hat
I promise you that
I promoise you that
Promise you that
You'll be blessed
I need you before I'm too old
To have and to hold
To walk with you and watch you grow
And know that you're blessed
And you'll, you'll be blessed
You'll have the best
I promise you that
I'll pick a star from the sky
Pull your name from a hat
I promise you that
promise you that.
By Tremonti/Stapp (sung by Creed)
Well I jsut heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I closed my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face
Chorus:
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the (mom) I have to be
I'll take a breath, take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life
(Chorus)
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope (she's) not like me
I hope (she) understands
That (she) can take this life
and hold it by the hand
And (she) can greet the world
With arms wide open...
by Carole King
Although you see the world
different than me
Sometimes I can touch upon
The wonders that you see
All the new colors
in pictures you've designed
Chorus:
Oh yes, sweet darling
So glad you are a child of mine
Child of mine, child of mine
Oh yes, sweet darling
So glad you are a child of mine.
You don't need direction
You know which way to go
And I don't want to hold you back
I just want to watch you grow
You're the one who taught me
You don't have to look behind
Chorus
Nobody's gonna kill your dreams
Or tell you how to live your life
They'll always be people
to make it hard for awhile
But you'll change their heads
when they see you smile
The times you were born in
May not have been the best
But you can make the times to come
Better than the rest
I know you will be honest
If you can't always be kind
Chorus
by Rich Mullins, Lee Lundgren, and Nicole Lundgreen
O Eli
There's a sanctity in your innocence
A certain beauty and no uncertain strength
That brings me to the faith
Down know if I
If I am climing to or falling in
But it comes like grace from your tiny hands
When I hold you in mine
And I pray that the eyes
of your heart
shine bright
With the hope to which you're called
and may you know with all the saints
The height, the depth, the width, and the length
of the love of God
O Eli
there's a joy in your sweet abandon
Like the cowgirl ballerinea
Leaves that ride
The wild and holy bucking wind that the sky
sent through you to blow away these walls I've built
Walls of selfishness and walls of guilt
That leave me free to be a child.
Adam
