Story behind the song
When I thought of my daughter, I thought of her great love for music and the outdoors. I chose those two themes for the background of my song. Verse one was to convey that her choices and desires are what she will be free to pursue. Verse two is meant to convey that her path in life may take her through many challenges but by focusing on the positive aspects of the journey she will find a life worth living. In the chorus I wanted to encourage her to go the extra mile to “suck the marrow out of life” as Thoreau once stated, as I know she is capable. Of course the bridge recognizes she now has company on her journey and with oneness of heart, anything is possible, or as Dad would say 1+1=1 when wearing 3D glasses.
Lyrics
EVERYTHING I HOPED Ellen’s Wedding Song written by her Dad – (assist by Jay Speight) Final as sung Verse 1 The great melody of life plays on And what the lyric holds no one knows There’ll be creeks to cross and valleys to walk But the song is yours to compose Lift So come tomorrow Chorus Breathe deep and climb that mountain Spread your wings and fly, Dance to the distant drummer’s rhythm, with power and love You’re everything I hoped you would become Everything I hoped you would become Verse 2 Your adventure in life awaits A narrow road with twists and turns But love one another, splash in the puddles Life will show you, you’ll find what you yearn Lift And come tomorrow, Chorus Breathe deep and climb that mountain Spread your wings and fly, Dance to the distant drummer’s rhythm, with power and love You’re everything I hoped you would become Bridge From this day forward, till death do you part Your love at your side, and oneness of heart Chorus Breathe deep and climb that mountain Spread your wings and fly, Dance to the distant drummer’s rhythm, with power and love You’re everything I hoped you would become TAG: Everything I hoped you would become
