Lyrics

This morning, Lincoln decided that he wants to be a lyricist when he grows up.  He said, "I want to write songs... but just the words, not the notes."  He promptly began singing some made-up songs and Anndra joined in a moment later.  Naturally, I grabbed a paper and tried to get it all down while their creative juices were flowing.  (It probably would have been better to take a video, but I was afraid if I whipped out the camera it would cause them to feel shy and break the magic of the moment).  Here's what I got:


Lincoln song #1
I can make it feel better
if you just let me put medicine on it
and it will feel better
in a snap
and you won't be hurt
once people come to help

Anndra song #1
God is the number one
is the one that's in my heart
and I sent pictures
in the light
and I want to begin

Lincoln song #2
I want to begin with this:
God is the one
one who made me be on earth
I followed His plan
and this is how you end your prayers
in the name of Jesus Christ, amen

Anndra song #2
I had to do my best
in the child's heart
and my Mommy and Daddy
I have to do what they ask of me
to live with them someday
and I have to do my very best

Lincoln song #3
I like nature
It's part of Earth
Earth
And I really like Earth
The Earth is the best place to be

Anndra song #3
Oh I want to live in Jesus/God's temple
in the church
and the church that we go to is Jesus' house
He had began our child in his heart
and I will live with Him someday

Lincoln song #4
The childhood is the most important part
of getting married
and I want to be like my Dad someday
I really want to be like my Dad
and my brother
and Jesus

Anndra song #4
Child is my favorite guest
in the parties
and the cupcakes
