I was flicking through a copy of Rise Up Singing, last night, and came across this song.

I think it is such a wonderful song, that i felt inspired to add it to the collection on here.. Enjoy the words.

Everything Possible

We have cleared off the table, the leftovers saved,
Washed the dishes and put them away
I have told you a story and tucked you in tight
At the end of your knockabout day
As the moon sets its sails to carry you to sleep
Over the midnight sea
I will sing you a song no one sang to me
May it keep you good company.

CHORUS:
You can be anybody you want to be,
You can love whomever you will
You can travel any country where your heart leads
And know I will love you still
You can live by yourself, you can gather friends around,
You can choose one special one
And the only measure of your words and your deeds
Will be the love you leave behind when you’re done.

There are girls who grow up strong and bold
There are boys quiet and kind
Some race on ahead, some follow behind
Some go in their own way and time
Some women love women, some men love men
Some raise children, some never do
You can dream all the day never reaching the end
Of everything possible for you.

Don’t be rattled by names, by taunts, by games
But seek out spirits true
If you give your friends the best part of yourself
They will give the same back to you.

I didnt sleep well last night, a mixture of the air being very hot, and humid, and Asha deciding she wanted to be in our bed.

Anyway, when I finally fell asleep at around 6 am, my body slept heavily, but i woke up early to the sound of Asha playing with Daddy.

Steve had to go and help our landlord this morning, but before he went, we all sat down and did Asha’s violin practice. She is currently learning how to hold the bow, the violin and how to bow. Three VERY important skills in violin playing!

After she did this, we talked about music for a while, and then she played. This evening, she sat and supervised me practicing my Clarinet. It is the first time for a very long time I have had it out, and I have found some beginners books to work through, to help get me going with it all again.

Asha had great fun, winding up my metronome and clapped along with me, to my tunes, when I couldnt get the beat. After laughing at me, as I struggled to get going, with my clarinet, she failed to get a squeak out of it.. But then I knew she would. Is that naughty??

Between Music, she has been playing with her toys, watching the birds on the trees, and doing make and do.. Oh the joys.
