This is a song i wrote as a love letter to my children, and my nieces and nephews. It's about what it feels like to be a parent.
Sometimes you are hurting or struggling and you think as parents we won't understand or will judge you.. or that you'll disappoint us.
My kids in particular have expressed to me that sometimes they also may not feel like I can handle it ...
So... this is me telling you that it doesn't matter what you're going through, there isn't anything too big, too scary or too much for us to stand with you through. And that there is a really really good chance we have been in a similar situation to one degree or another and you just don't know.
To each of my kids and my bonus kids... this song is for you.
"YOUR HEART WAS MADE OF MINE"
Heart beats ringing echoing around me and I'm searching for the key to start the healing
I can hear the storm whisper a story, I can feel the thunder rumbling through me.
Oh
you think that you have fooled me, you're hiding all those fears.
That sunshine covers over, hides the hurricane of tears.
Oohh
Baby don't you know your heart was made of mine.
You think you need to hide
The things you feel inside
The parts that you don't like
Whispers in the night.
You don't want it to show
You don't want me to know
You'll keep me in the dark
While arrows make their mark
Ohhhh
Baby dont you know your heart was made of mine.
Your sunshine stifled tears
The waves from all the years
It's swallowing you whole
Storms raging just below
You don't want it to show
You don't want me to know
You'll keep me in the dark
While arrows make their mark
Ohhhh
Baby don't you know your heart was made of mine.
Do you think I've never been there, or that I just can't understand
That I'm far past comprehending, imagination doesn't wrap around
Oh I have walked these roads you're walking, I have been where you stand now. And when the storm has blown you over, and you don't have room to hide
I will hold you when the heartache comes flowing from your eyeeeessss
Baby don't you know your heart was made of mine.
I know you don't think you can trust me.
That the storms will be too big, but you forget I've faced the thunder and I've stood there through the rain.
I haven't always been your shelter, but I'll walk through any storm. I've been learning to walk with you, I haven't always been the calm... you may not even need me but I'll stand there through the sto-o-orm.
Oh baby don't you know your heart was made of mine.
