Ellisia (A City on a Hill) : a little movie and music tribute to my niece Ellisia from her Auntie

This is a little movie I made for my niece Ellisia, who I also wrote a song which I have dedicated to her and well all my nieces and nephews actually as they are all soooo special! I love em all You can hear my song in the background.

I started writing this song well ages ago actually and its nice to finally get it recorded and out of my brain hurrah!

Here are the lyrics. its kinda inspired by a saying that actually someone put at the bottom of an email that they sent to me and it really has stuck with me...it was something along the lines of "there is nothing enlightened about shrinking to make someone else feel big" or something like that. I was like yeah that is sooo true lol & i related to it & have never forgotten it, and i want all my nieces and nephews and everyone never to do that...to never belittle themselves to make someone else feel good...that is what I did really...but that is a whole other story ...


VERSE ONE

I was, a broken life
Cared too much for, what the others thought
And way back then, I did not know
I was the salt and light of Gods green earth yeah

Some people, they feel strong
By making, you feel
So very weak
But just remember they can only take the ground that you let them..
Dont you let them.....

Ellisia, you are a golden light
Dont dim yours,
To make.... others feel bright
Ellisia,
You are a shining sun
Dont hide behind the Moon
For anyone....

VERSE TWO
I was a broken life
Cared too much what the others said
And way back then I did not know
I was the salt & light of Gods green earth yeah

Some people they feel tall
By making you feel so very small
But just remember they can only take the ground that you let them
Please dont let them

CHORUS
Ellisia, a city on a hill cannot be hidden
A city on a hill cannot be hidden
A city on a hill cannot be hidden

Repeat
Ooo No no no no no

E = Energetic
L = Loved
L = Lots
I = Indescribable
S = Silly
I = Incredible
A = Angel

I also write songs and you just gave me the greatest Idea for my nieces and nephew. :) Thank you. I'm not looking for a song anymore im going to write one :)

@nikkipoohbear91 Hiya, good for you! Yes do try to write too as it isn't all that hard (i am proof of that lol) and that is how i started,,just got a germ of an idea and took it another step to trying to make it a full blown song.Hope all goes well d:p

[nikkipoohbear91]

@EmmaB979 i have written many times. i have plenty of songs. I know that its hard and stuff but i'm willing to work.
