Here specifically to remind me and others how far I have come since this was recorded in my lyricist's living room in Aug 2001 before I got 'serious'. Written for my nieces wedding.

Lyrics
From dreams of our childhood we are coming to you With so many questions and answers so few At the edge of this forest we look to the light Do we stay, do we go How can we know Who has the answers to life? We stand on a hilltop, the road lies below The wind’s on our faces, its time now to go We know we can’t stay here and live in the past Is it east, is it west Which direction is best Who will guide us through life Come forward, come closer, I am waiting for you See the light shining down on the road that you choose Come and dance in the light let your song touch the sky The answers you seek are all with you inside All of your loved ones have walked here before They’ve loved you and kept you and they opened the door You have all that they gave you, wisdom in store Your guide is your heart, you will need nothing more The road may get rocky and what will we do When words rise in anger and fear lances through Losses and heartbreak and shadows may call Do we flee, do we fall? To whom do we call Who will heal us when wounded by life? We stand here together with heads and hopes high Surrounded by love, we stretch wings to fly Hand held in hand we join in the dance For our daughters and sons, we will be the ones Who know what it means to live life Life has never been easy, you know There could be trouble wherever you go Just keep love in your heart and stay hand in hand There is no hardship that you can’t withstand All things will bless you as long as you live For the love you deserve and the love that you give Remember the faces you see round you now Embrace them as they bless the love you avow And through glory and strife You will be man and wife And so you will journey, to life (c) 2001 Joel Irwin (music) & John Kinsella (lyrics)
