Shine

Here's a little song I (co)wrote ...

Greetings Stock Fiction family.

The following lyricism was written by me during my brief stint as an acoustic rock musician. From a date I can’t remember to 2020(ish), I was in a band called Two Days from Monday with my best friend from high school’s husband. We didn’t make it big, but we had a lot of fun.

And I was having and raising babies in the background the whole time.

So, it’s not surprising that one of those babies inspired this song.

Here’s a sweet little demo I dug up. I hope you’ll listen while you read. 💜

The first time I held you
It felt like a brand new day
The breaking of sunlight
In the distance as the clouds gave way

I can stand here on my own
Knowing you are not alone
And watch you shine

Each moment, so precious
It can never be replaced
The warm breath of summer
Washes over when I see your face

I can watch you walk away
Never asking you to stay
And let you shine

Shine, shine
Son, shine
I’d take a fall to help you climb
Your dreams are mine
Son, shine

It can’t last forever
But I won’t ever have to fear goodbye
The tight rope that binds us
Is not so easily untied

Whatever path you choose to roam
Let it always lead you home
Where you were born to shine

Shine
Son, shine
I’d take a fall to help you climb
Your dreams are mine
Son, shine

Shine
Son, shine
I’d take a fall to help you climb
Your dreams are mine
Son, shine

Shine, shine
Son, shine
You go your way, and I’ll go mine
You’re doing fine
Son, shine

Feeling Shiny. 2014.

Thanks for listening.

And Happy Mother’s Day.
