This is a song I wrote for my best friends daughter who just recently graduated from high school, the honorable Isabel Stub. This song is for her, This song was produced by Robert Lee Hall @ Trebor Labs Studio, Lancaster, KY
Story behind the song
My dear friend Jake Stub and his family live in Ojai CA. I live near L.A., well 40 miles south of L.A. and subsequently we didn't see much of each others families as they grew, and it was only recently that I had the pleasure of meeting his two daughters, Isabel and Aleta, who I just fell in love with. It occurred to me that I had missed a majority of their lives to date, which really bums me out profoundly. Isabel just graduated from high school, and I wanted to do something for her so she would know she was special, and this is it. I hope it succeeds and she knows how special she is...
Lyrics
Wishing Well, for Isabel
To Celebrate her graduation;
A song for Isabel Stub

Verse 1
After eighteen years you feel it’s time that your on your own
Step out of your comfort zone, to show all the world you’ve grown
The time will come too soon to say all your sad goodbyes
Time to separate truth from lies, no excuses or alibis
Chorus
Well it seems to me you make this world a better place
I love how you embrace it
It’s reality let’s just face it
And it seems to me you make this place a better world
Clearly you’re Jake and Sandy’s girl
The world’s an oyster and you’re a pearl
Verse 2
As you set out on your journey, try your best to avoid extremes
Steer clear of dramatic themes, and take care you don’t lose your dreams
Let reality be reality and just let it flow
Wherever it wants to go, don’t get caught in the undertow
Chorus
Well it seems to me you make this world a better place
I love how you embrace it
It’s reality let’s just face it
And it seems to me you make this place a better world
Clearly you’re Jake and Sandy’s girl
The world’s an oyster and you’re a pearl
Bridge
In this journey it doesn’t matter where you start
And it’s not so all important where you end
When I think about the things I’ve done
All the battles lost and the battles won
All that matters is the journey my friend
Verse #3
You must stand up and be heard if you have a song to sing
It’s the gift only you can bring, like a conscious awakening
You can’t stand by and be quiet when something you know is wrong
The world needs to hear your song, don’t be shocked if they sing along
Verse #4
You must try to seize the moment, or moments just slip away
This is something you can’t delay, take time love and laugh today
And don’t take today for granted, or it will be will be gone so fast
In fact when tomorrow comes, your today’s just a thing of the past.
Chorus
Well it seems to me you make this world a better place
I love how you embrace it
It’s reality let’s just face it
And it seems to me you make this place a better world
Clearly you’re Jake and Sandy’s girl
The world’s an oyster and you’re a pearl
Chorus
Well it seems to me you make this world a better place
I love how you embrace it
It’s reality let’s just face it
And it seems to me you make this place a better world
Clearly you’re Jake and Sandy’s girl
The world’s an oyster and you’re the pearl
