Journey of Love Alto, piano 2003

This song was commissioned as a present from a wife to her husband.  I was working with the image of rocking back and forth, since the couple shares an affinity with the ocean.

Performer:  Kaeza Fearn, alto and piano

Journey of Love        music and lyrics by Kaeza Fearn ©2003

Look, my love.

What would Obachama say, my love,

If she could see our family now?

As the sun goes down on the ocean’s blue sound

I want you close

Words may not say the most

But tell me how you feel.

Three dozen pink roses at the trader’s desk (and how they sold!)

Let me bring you all the joy and the love in each one of those folds

We’re building and simply being

This is a family

You greet the morning sun

I dance to evening stars and moon

When the kids come home and show us what they’ve done

I know we are close

They spring from both of us

But they are so their own

A kiss on the forehead and my taxi left

How you showed me innocence and love in your hesitant lips

We’re loving and sometimes grumping

We are a family

You shed your skin like snakes

It takes me time to empty a box you know, my dear

I remember the night you held me as I cried

I felt you close

You knew how tears can flow

And how our love has grown

I see over yonder: oh, here comes a storm!

You can watch me ride the wind

And you stay so steady and strong

We’re changing and softly graying

Where will our journey lead?
