Brendan's Song

I don't think I ever posted the song we dedicated to Brendan back when he was born in January. (It's really an epiphany song which coincides with Brendan's birthdate, but I thought I should post it while thinking of it!) It's available to listen to online at last.fm, just click here and find the black box in the upper-right part of the screen and click on play to listen to "Nothing But a Child" by Steve Earle. (And, um, that video is NOT Steve Earle, click at your own risk.) Here's the lyrics:


Nothing But A Child (Steve Earle)
Once upon a time in a far off land
Wise men saw a sign and set out aross the sand
Songs of praise to sing, they travelled day and night
Precious gifts to bring, guided by the light

They chased a brand new star, ever towards the west
Across the mountains far, but when it came to rest
They scarce believed their eyes, they'd come so many miles
And the miracle they prized was nothing but a child

Nothing but a child could wash these tears away
Or guide a weary world into the light of day
And nothing but a child could help erase these miles
So once again we all can be children for awhile

Now all around the world, in every Iittle town
Everyday is heard a precious little sound
And every mother kind and every father proud
Looks down in awe to find another chance allowed

Nothing but a child could wash these tears away
Or guide a weary world into the light of day
And nothing but a child could help erase these miles
So once again we all can be children for awhile
