about

We wrote this song for our first baby's first birthday in July 2020. As happens when juggling self-employment and parenting, time got away from us. It took over a year to complete the recording so that anyone else could hear it, and now we're on the precipice of having our second child any day!

Zia--baby number one, amphibious quadruple Cancer moonchild of wonder, has been magical since before we even knew her. This song offers a bit to honor and remember that magic that we are fortunate enough to experience every day as her parents. She will always be our number one.

lyrics

It's said life happens when you're busy making other plans.
Flowers bloom while you're falling deep in love with little hands and feet,
and tummies and squeaks,
and rolling and crawling,
and the mysteries.

All things considered, disasters aside,
I couldn't have dreamed you better if I'd tried.
For a thousand years, this world will be better,
because you are in it forever and ever.

CHORUS:
Careful not to repeat
the mistakes of the past,
and the future will be
everything that you ask of it.

Who were you before you were born?
Sunshine and rainbows?
Crickets and toads?
Cedar swamps,
Mountains and snow?
Coral and minnows?
Only you know.

As you grow,
our only task--
help you remember
the lives of your past.

CHORUS

Of course you would arrive
when the blueberries are ripe.
Of course you would add
all the water to my life.
Of course you would emerge
when the tiger lilies bloom.
Of course you would arrive
not a moment too soon.

CHORUS (Round)
