Name: The Hard Road by Patrick Breed
Duration: 3 min 58 s
Description: I wrote this song as a duet and hope someday to record it with two voices, Still, I'm proud of the lyrics.

A song I wrote a while after the birth of our grandson.  I tried to capture how I felt about the miracle of birth. He's older now but in our book, still the best of the best. 

lyrics
                               Malekai    copy 2009 N. Fromm

My daughter called me on the telephone             (Vs 1)
Says she's thinkin 'bout the folks back home
She's got somethin' important to say
Lookin' like a baby's on the way
It's a baby, welcome to the world! A little baby
Yes it's a baby, little boy or girl.  A little baby

The baby born around the first of the year         (Vs2)
My wife and I just want to be near
We try to help her every way that we can
If you were me I think you'ld understand
It's a baby, mama's little boy, a little baby
Yes it's a baby daddy's pride and joy, a little baby

When things got a little rough we gathered around her    (Bridge)
She would need a lot of lovin' just to bannish the fear
And it wasn't very long 'til reality found her
But she was so brave, so brave, brave beyond her years

My daughter called me just to share the news    (Vs3)   
The boy is wearin' his walkin' shoes
Takin' steps and about fly
On the journey of Malekai
It's a baby mama's pride and joy a little baby
Yes it's a baby, daddy's little boy a little baby

My daughter called me on the telephone       (Outro)
Says she's thinkin 'bout the folks back home
She's got somethin' important to say
Lookin like a baby's on the way

My daughter called me just to share the news
The boy is wearin' his walkin' shoes
Takin' steps and about fly
On the journey of Malekai

Last Night

The Xmas Tree by Greg Brown

They’re taking down a Christmas Tree
That he planted as a little boy
It’s overgrown its welcome and now it’s time has come

The tree gave joy and shaded the sun
Provided memories of when he was young
Showed us just how much he’d grown
Today all its residence have flown

It’s bittersweet for all involved
So many years of growth so quickly falls  
It was home to many beautiful creatures
By Christmas they’ve found a new one

All good things must come to an end
His childhood tree has seen its last day
What will come from this new found space?
Only time will fill its place

Live and grow our day in the sun
With struggles a mighty we all must fall
The time will come
That we’ve all had our day in the sun

They’re taking down a Christmas Tree
That he planted as a little boy
It’s overgrown its welcome and now it’s time has come

[Verse 1]
If you dance, I'll dance
And if you don't, I'll dance anyway
Give peace a chance
Let the fear you have fall away

[Pre-Chorus]
I've got my eye on you
I've got my eye on you

[Chorus]
Say yes to Heaven
Say yes to me
Say yes to Heaven
Say yes to me

[Verse 2]
If you go, I'll stay
You come back, I'll be right here
Like a barge at sea
In the storm, I stay clear

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I've got my mind on you
I've got my mind on you

[Chorus]
Say yes to Heaven
Say yes to me
Say yes to Heaven
Say yes to me

[Verse 3]
If you dance, I'll dance
I'll put my red dress on, get it on
And if you fight, I'll fight
It doesn't matter now, it's all gone

[Pre-Chorus]
I've got my mind on you
I got my mind on you

[Chorus]
Say yes to Heaven
Say yes to me
Say yes to Heaven
Say yes to me

[Outro]
I've got my eye on you
I've got my eye on you, mm
I've got my eye on you
I've got my eye on you
