about

This song is about my beautiful nephew, Jakob. About his birth, the physical and mental struggles of being a single mother and the joy he brings. This song was originally meant to be lullaby for him but it turned into a 3 part story. I hope you enjoy!

lyrics

Little shoes, little socks and little baby blues
Or are they brown? I guess I have no clue
But they'll show themselves in time.

And no one hears, no one hears the threats a young mum fears
But when they see that little face it's so clear
You can do this on your own

Cause you are the sun, he is your moon
And though he can't speak, he will thank you soon
These are the stepping stones to make him a man

Little sighs, ten more years and they'll be desperate cries
Cries for the father who swears he tries...
Where were you when he said your name?

And she's still alone, she's got problems that no one can know
The twisted tick tock of the clock is so slow
Cause nothing heals as cruel as time

Cause you are the sun, he is your moon
And maybe one day he will hear this tune
Maybe his strength just comes from knowing you're there

The tell tale signs in those familiar eyes...
And trust me, you're doing just fine
And all he'll know is how love is grown
I hope this sweet little soul brings you back home

When you hear this song, remember harder nights will fade to dawn
Remember who you are cause we're both from...
Cut from the cloth that made you whole.
