This is the first draft of a song I wrote for my son who has just headed off to live in Europe. (4 mins)
NEW TIMES
CHORUS
Well my son’s away – our thoughts and prayers go with you
Travel far and safe – our love goes always with you
As you follow your dreams – remember those at home go with you
Though you’re far away we travel in silence with you
Hoping you’ll find what you’re seeking
There’ll be brand new faces – who will want to know you
Brand new places and some will no doubt test you
But I know you’ll find your way through
CHORUS
I have watched you change – from baby to grown man
I love who you’ve become – a man who knows that children
Can teach us lots of life’s lessons
And no matter how long – you roam the world afar
There are people at home – who you can always turn to
If it all seems too hard
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I wandered abroad to discover new seas
We took you away from this land that you now leave
So I well understand what now takes you away
And wonder alone what your new world will bring
And if this land.....will be home again
CHORUS
