    an introduction :

It can be a very emotional time when a young man first becomes a father. Promises given in marriage take on a rich new dimension, when for the very first time your "new born" opens it’s eyes.You realize that in this infant’s face, the once invisible unity of your marriage is nowsearchingly staring you, right in the eyes.

Father’s Song

He opened his eyes for the very first time today ;

I couldn’t help but feel the need to kneel down and pray .

I looked deep in his eyes , and felt mine fill to the brim ,

You are part her , you are part me , and we belong to Him.


I danced by the light of the moon,

I stood with my head in the clouds .

I ran in big circles , staring towards outer space .

Then I knelt once again , in the light of His grace .


I’ve never felt so helpless , and I’ve never felt so strong .

Till I looked in your eyes and heard your mournful crying song .

You’ve already stolen our hearts , but you’ve given them back again .

Your are your mom, and your me , and we belong to Him .


Then I danced in the light of the stars ,

And I stood with my head in the clouds .

I ran in big circles , staring towards outer space .

Then I knelt once again , in the light of His grace .


You know I pressed against the window, stared so hard at your face ;

Kept shaking my head , till my eyes felt out of place .

We’ve been entrusted with you , till He takes you back home again .

Your part her , your part me and we belong to Him .


Then I danced by the light of the moon,

Again I stood with my head in the clouds .

I ran in big circles , staring towards outer space .

Then I knelt once again , in the light of His grace.
