A Song and a Prayer
Music by Andrew Potter
Lyrics by Wheeler Cole
© 2019 cole/potter music

Small feet run through the meadow
laughing like sunshine
rolls down the hill

two hearts sitting there watching
they are her gardeners
nurturing still

clutching a hand full of daisies
she sticks her tongue out
squints at the sun

leaves blow like her dancing
birds whisper secrets
of stories begun

May your hands be strong of heart
The calm when things fall apart
May your words bring peace when trouble starts

Hope, flying these wishes
swimming goldfishes
flowing through time.

message locked in a bottle 
years make it better
like a fine wine

this prayer I struggle to free
a worn pebble found at sea
rusted lock; missing key
a stubborn reflection of me

seek truth in all you dare
hold tight to all that’s fair 
I will wait for you there
this is my gift; a song and a prayer

love, all that you carry 
after I’m buried
it will burn still

soon, you’ll be a gardener
and with your whispers,
their hearts will fill    

so, Love is a process
we’re linking togethers
forged like a chain

each link building the next one
leaving a lesson
that will remain

Hush now! listen my Darling
Life goes by quickly gone in a flash
You will carry it forward
all that is precious… all that will last.
