Rowan's Song - a motherhood song

This is a song dedicated to my friend Lorraine's new granddaughter. It made it to the semi finals of the prestigious UK Songwriting Contest in the folk category. I've used popular, ancient and religious images to present a modern view of motherhood. If you like the song, it's available from iTunes. Thanks for watching!


Did you know we were waiting to meet you,
Before you had a name?
All who loved you were happy to greet you
On the day when you came.
All the world was green and unblemished,
Like the fields in the dew of morn,
And our hope and our faith were replenished
On the day you were born.
And to you the world was bright and new,
And I was old but I became younger at the dawning of you.

Did you know every word that you've spoken, And every smile you've smiled,
Every tear, every toy that you've broken
Since you first arrived,
They are all locked here in my memory
And all the things you do
make me proud that you were sent to me,
That I'm part of you.
And with you thw world will stay brave and true,
And I was weak but I became stronger
At the dawning of you.

I wouldn't know. I've never been given that particular gift, but I'll take your word for it.
