Fatherhood, Philosophy, and Music
Cats: Personal, Music, Adoption, Kids|As we prepare for our first overnight with our new son, I’m struck by the lyrics of some of my favorite songs:
Like a baby when he is sleeping in his loving mother’s arms
What a newborn baby dreams is a mystery
But his life will find a purpose and in time he’ll understand
When the river meets the sea
-Paul Williams
And inside every turning leaf
Is the pattern of an older tree
The shape of our future
The shape of all our history
-Sting
I’m alive! and the world shines for me today
I’m alive! suddenly I am here today
Seems like forever and a day
Thought I could never feel this way
How can this be real?
-Electric Light Orchestra
