A Song For Jaydn

I wrote this song about our little girl we adopted from Uganda, Africa. It is about her and our journey with her. It is a rough recording done in GarageBand...I just wanted to get it recorded. Lyrics below:


A SONG FOR JAYDN

VERSE 1
run away run away from the pain you feel
who's to blame, who's to blame, I know that it's not you
It is not you

let it go, let it go cause it's killing you
holding on holding out for the thing that's not real
it's not real

Push through cause you are worth it
Hold on to me I'll pull you through
I'll pull you through

Come with me on this journey
we'll crush the mountains in our way
no matter what they say

The wounds will heal but the scars remain
though time with us will make them fade
We're gonna make them fade
We're gonna make them fade


VERSE2
Color blind through the eyes of a little girl
scared to death you don't know what it is you're in for
A chance to restore

Push through cause you are worth it
Hold on to me I'll pull you through
I'm gonna pull you through

Come with me on this journey
we'll crush the mountains in our way
no matter what they say

The wounds will heal but the scars remain
though time with us will make them fade
We're gonna make them fade


BRIDGE
We're gonna make them fade into your distant past
Replace your loss with a love that lasts
a love that runs deeper than blood.

Come with me on this journey
It won't be easy but I'll stay
and never walk away

The wounds will heal but the scars remain
a chance for God to show His grace
Through your pretty face
And that will never fade

Made me cry, Nathan. Good job. I agree with first commentor: "Love Runs Deeper" would be a good title for this.

The song was amazing...

...your hair is ridiculous. :-D

Beautiful. What a special thing to give her - I'm sure she will treasure it all of her life.

Outstanding, this will be great for Jadyn and many others like her. I like "Jadyn's Song" or "Love Runs Deeper" as that was the motto of your journey.
