A Wish for Elias and Anita by Laura (with Emily)

LYRICS

Verse 1
You are picture perfect, 
you are our whole world
Every heartbeat, every kick 
confirmed our purpose 
In this life we had together 
we were flying high
with guarded hearts 
You’re the best parts of us 

Suddenly you don’t realise 
you’ve been holding your breath
Till you’ve cried
Was it just a dream or is this real life? 
Our tears fell like rain, 
with the love and the loss 
We will celebrate you always

Chorus
As we feel everything all at once
The rain and the rays fall
We can’t believe you are ours
Baby boy, you’re so beautiful
And we will never know why. 
Is this our life?
With our baby boy in the sky. 
(When we think of you
We smile and we cry)
As we feel it all at once

Verse 2
You came into our lives like a burst of colour
It’s like you were handpicked for us 
by your big brother
Your eyes full of wonder, 
we will do anything for you
And we’ll celebrate you always 

And instead of silence, 
you cried along with us
You fill our hearts
You’re the best parts of us
Suddenly, you don’t realize 
you’re holding your breath
Till you’ve cried
Is this just a dream or are you really mine?

Chorus

Bridge
And we will never stop saying your name
Even though time passes, 
it doesn’t heal our pain
This is our life. We are all tied. 
We’ll vow to remember all of it, 
and never say goodbye.
And with you home, you gave us hope,
That happiness and sadness can live in the same tone.

To feel everything all at once.
We are flying high
feel everything all at once
You’re both shining bright
feel everything all at once
The rain and the rays fall
feel everything all at once
The way you both changed us
feel everything all at once
We feel you both all at once.
