Finally, after several years of having lyrics for a song about and for my daughter, I am starting to write it… this is the first draft. singing over most of this at some point.

Compass

Since the day of your birth
Distant memories of the time spent
Sharing your happiness
As you grow from child to luminary

My role - to protect…and enlighten
As you share your joy with everyone

Not a day that does pass,
Not a minute that ticks by
that can harness
the energy of you that
flows through me.

It reminds me of this link
Of love that I have with you.
A part of me that I promise
not to yield even to my own mortality

If I ever disappear and can’t
Come when you call for me it’s
Because I am gone…
Passed on from your worldly home

If I ever disappear and can’t
Come when you call for me it’s
Because I am gone…

As my oath, I will
Encompass you with love
Eternally…

To not only love me as a father, but
As a shelter and safe place to go when
You are scared or in need of peace.

I will be there…
When you need that lift
To feel alive
Or a shoulder on which to cry
or something once tangible to get you by.

I want to be there
When you grow and move on
When you struggle and need solidity
When you question the world or
Need a canvass in which to
Paint your feelings.

If I ever Disappear and can’t
Come when you call for me it’s
Because I have gone…
Passed on from your worldly home

If I ever Disappear and can’t
Come when you call for me it’s
Because I have gone…

As my oath, I will
Encompass you with love

Even in death I will remain your compass
And guide you to where you want to be.
As my Oath, I will love you
Eternally…
