Mission for the Dead

Raise Your Glass

Drummer Boy

In the stillness of the night, they softly sigh
Ooh, hearts are heavy, but hope's alive, uh
Through the shadows, we wander and roam
Ooh, dreams of peace, we carry them home, uh-huh

Though the world gets weary (Though the world gets weary)
We believe in the light that shines in the dark, ooh
Though the world gets weary (Though the world gets weary)
With a whisper of love, we can mend every scar, ooh

Take a moment, let the stillness find you (They won’t believe it)
Mm, feel the warmth in a cold, cruel place, uh
Tell me, who'd have thought joy could arise here?
All we need is a heart, a safe embrace, ooh

Ooh, gather 'round, let's sing this tune
With every note, let our spirits bloom
In this season, let the kindness grow
Together we rise, hearts in tow, ooh

Though the world gets weary (Though the world gets weary)
We believe in the light that shines in the dark, ooh
Though the world gets weary (Though the world gets weary)
With a whisper of love, we can mend every scar, ooh

I would give everything 
For a glimpse of tomorrow
How will you prosper?
Will there be sorrow?
Will you still look at me
With love and devotion?
Will the seeds I planted
Sprout into motion?

Let me glimpse into the future
Let me see what you’ll be
Let me behold your colours 
Please let me see

I would give everything
For a glimpse of tomorrow
How will your voice sound?
What self will you borrow?
Will you still wait for me
When I’m crawling?
Will you catch me
When I’m falling?

Let me glimpse into the future
Let me know where you’ll go
Let me behold your fashions
Please let it show
Let it show

Will you still shine your light
From here to the stars?
Will your achievements
Still prove life isn’t hard?

A Glimpse of Tomorrow

Lamorna's Lullaby is the first recording for my new album 'Songs of Land and Sea', which will be available sometime in 2025. 

Featuring Laura Terry singing main vocals with additional vocals by Jon Woode 

Lamorna's Lullaby  by Jon Woode
(written on the 8th June 2024).

Inspired by Lamorna Birch's (a member of the Newlyn Art Society) love of Lamorna Cove and his infatuation with Greta Valentine.

This is a simple song that finds the artist Lamorna Birch searching for inspiration in the eyes of his muse Greta Valentine and the beauty of his surroundings. Once he has completed his work he is totally at peace and the sea sings him to sleep.

                          
Lamorna’s Lullaby

Somewhere in your eyes
In the valley of the trees
Tranquility of blue endless blue
Of the open seas
Something in your smile
Reminds me of the sky
Inspiration comes to my open mind

The sea will sing Lamorna
The sea will sing Lamorna
She will sing Lamorna’s lullaby

Somewhere on the wind
Far beyond the rye
I sometimes hear you singing me to sleep
Where the angels fly
A voice upon a wave
A whisper on the tide
And the sea will sing Lamorna’s Lullaby

The sea will sing Lamorna
The sea will sing Lamorna
She will sing Lamorna’s Lullaby

Across the waters far and wide
On gentle winds on softly ebbing tides

The sea will sing Lamorna
The sea will sing Lamorna
She will sing Lamorna’s Lullaby

Songs of Land and Sea

Lamorna's Lullaby

Kennst du den Tiger, wie er tanzt in Berlin 
Den tanzenden Tiger, er will nicht traurig sein 

Tiger und La Belle

My Purpose

break my back

Some lyrics of mine

Song
Ein Moment für Dich

Finster ist's um Dich herum.
Sei nicht dumm.
Zünde Dir ein Lichtlein an,
dessen Flamme Dir hell leuchten kann.

Lese Du im Buche das,
was Du auch gut verstehst.
Lese Du mit Spaß,
so wie Du zu Dir stehst.

Da kommen Dir Gedanken ein.
Manche sind so frisch.
Nimm es wahr, das wäre fein.
Setze Dich an diesen Gabentisch.

Erkenne all der Dinge gutes Wesen,
ohne Dich zu jucken.
Sie sind schon immer so gewesen.
Was sollten sie da bedrücken?

Find Du auch zurück zu Dir.
Das gilt es zu bejahen,
wann immer hinter Deines Geistes Tür
sich Dir die Gedanken offenbaren.

All diese Dinge begreife,
so dass sie Dir gerecht werden.
Ja, an dieser Idee reife,
dafür möchte ich werben.

Manches solltest Du auch lassen.
Das kann gerne geschehen.
Wirst Du Dich damit befassen?
Momente kommen, Situationen vergehen.

Ein Moment für DIch

Ein Moment für Dich

Songwriter/Composer
