LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Plant the seeds in the soil below
Water them with the love you show
Teach them kindness let it grow
Shining bright where dark won’t go 

[Chorus]
Teach them to stand hearts open wide
Show them the strength they’ve got inside
Respect’s a flag they’ll raise up high
Lead by example and touch the sky
And touch the sky 

[Verse 2]
Show them how to hold their ground
Without a scream or shouting sound
Words like rivers gentle and bold
Can shape a world and hearts of gold 

[Bridge]
Pull the curtains teach no lies
Let truth sparkle in their eyes
Empathy their guiding start
It’s love that binds no matter how far
No matter how far 

[Verse 3]
Let their fears fade into dreams
Push the shadows through sunbeams
Every voice deserves its space
Lift them up to embrace grace 

[Chorus]
Teach them to stand hearts open wide
Show them the strength they’ve got inside
Respect’s a flag they’ll raise up high
Lead by example and touch the sky
And touch the sky

Teach Them

I listened to a Georgian folk song on You Tube which someone had sent me a link to.  Very short, and almost no story - almost a mystery, really. I looked for a translation into English and found that it had been used by an English speaking, well known performer. I have not listened to his version yet. But having written my own version (such a beautiful melody) I will be and maybe add the link here to the original. I have left it as a mysterious encounter, with no explanation. But intend to explore several perspectives in at least two more versions. This is obviously from the man's point of view, another POV is that of the woman. And thirdly, a call and answer with both singing. |I think it sounds fun.

Should I have Offered Help?

The words you say replace
The distant memory when you said 
You loved me
What did I do? What did I say?
To chase you so far away?
Now my heart's in distress
Cold sheets & an empty chest
The silence shouts out yr absence
Our love's a distant memory

So tell me sweet (sweet) lies.
Don't say you found a new paradise
Let my love be yr disguise 
Let my love be good enough for you
So you don't have to blame yourself 
Ohh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh!
Ohh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh!

I shd be at a loss for words when I fantasize 
I guess it wasn't good enough 
A fire that just slowly dies
(The) Silence grows louder in the dark of the room
I'm breaking down, (I'm) going under, my soul's on the floor
It's getting harder for me to go on.

So tell me sweet (sweet) lies.
Don't say you found a new paradise
Let my love be yr disguise 
Let it be good enough for you — 
don't you blame yourself! 
Ohh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh!
Ohh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh!

Let your lies be an antidote 
A poison soothing my veins 
To numb all my pain
An anodyne for my broken soul

Ohh-ohh-ohhhhhhh...

So tell me sweet, sweet lies
Don't say u found a new paradise
Let my love be yr disguise 
Let my love be good enough for u
So you don't have to blame yourself 
Ohh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh!

Cold sheets & empty chest
The bedroom door 
Shouts out yr absence.

Sweet Sweet Lies
