I'm a chap who loves to write songs and records them. I'm nowhere near as prolific as I could be, mainly due to finding it hard to motivate myself sometimes.

Story behind the song

I wrote this when I was 17 and finally recorded it when I was 26.

It's a kind of history of the human race.

Kind of...

Lyrics

A man gave me a garden to look after when he left and went away
A place to learn, a place to lie, a place to work, a place to play

And it was meant to be the children’s land
And it was meant to sustain and bring forth life
And it was meant to hold life in its golden hand
And to protect us from the beasts beneath the sun

The race was raw and angry seeking nothing but survival of the strong

Tearing through the jungle to find warmth and food and shelter for the young

And it was meant to be the children’s land
And it was meant to sustain and bring forth life
And it was meant to hold life in its golden hand
And to protect us from the beasts beneath the sun

From within the people came an awkward sense of parenthood and pain
An accurate perspective of the guilt from all the fault that caused the bane

And it was meant to be the children’s land
And it was meant to sustain and bring forth life
And it was meant to hold life in its golden hand
And to protect us from the beasts beneath the sun
