Go to the Lord, we’ll both be there. We are a family always together, My arms around you, wherever you go.
I love you, Julia
I love you with all of my heart, I’ll always be there for you.
I am here by your side
Who’s the best girl in the world, Julia.
You’re beautiful and you’re so brave, You give me hope every day, Make the world a better place.
In your own time, life will unfold
Find your own purpose, live for your dreams.
Open your heart, feel your emotions
Liftup your voice, make yourself heard.
When you feel sadness, you can come find me,
Go to the Lord, we’ll both be there. We are a family always together, My arms around you, wherever you go.
Matteo you’re my light,
You are fine and you just had to cry.
I love you but it’s time
It is time to go to sleep.
You are my joy, you are my sun
Good big brother to Julia
You’re almost grown, handsome man,
Keep your strength and passions too.
In your own time, life will unfold
Find your own purpose, live for your dreams.
Open your heart, feel your emotions
Liftup your voice, make yourself heard.
When you feel sadness, you can come find me,
Go to the Lord, we’ll both be there. We are a family always together, My arms around you, wherever you go.
En tu propio tiempo, la vida será
Vive tus sueños y tus metas.
Abre tu corazón, siente tu alma Levanta tu voz, Él te va a oír.
Cuando estás triste, puedes buscarme
Ve con el Señor, estaremos allí.
Somos familia, siempre vamos juntos Te abrazaré donde estés.
In your own time, We’re always together, My arms around you, Wherever we go.
Knock Knock
by Sarah with Meaghan Heinrich, arranged by Terry Smirl
Rhea: Knock knock!
Sarah: Who’s there?
Rhea: So So!
Sarah: So So who?
Rhea: So So chasing So So!
I’m trying to write you a song, Because I want you to like it. I want you to dance, Because you love to dance.
Do you want it to be gentle and slow? NO!
Do you want it to be silly?
A silly song with boom music?
A silly song with knock knock jokes?
Knock Knock!
Who’s There?
So so!
So so who?
So so strong, so so brave, So so kind, so so smart, So so so much love, It’s spilling right out of my heart.
I’m trying to learn to be silly, Because I want to be like you. I want to tell jokes, Because you like to tell jokes.
Do you want it to be gentle and slow? NO!
Do you want it to be silly?
A silly song with boom music? A silly song with knock knock jokes?
Knock Knock!
Who’s There?
So so!
So so who?
So so strong, so so brave, So so kind, so so smart, So so so much love, It’s spilling right out of my heart.
We’re working together to be better, To stand up for ourselves. We are fine and beautiful, Even when we cry. I love you my boo boo No matter what.
So I’m trying to write you a song, Because I want you to like it. I want you to dance, Because you love to dance.
Do you want it to be gentle and slow? NO!
Do you want it to be silly?
A silly song with boom music? A silly song with knock knock jokes?
Knock Knock!
Who’s There?
So so!
So so who?
So so strong, so so brave, So so kind, so so smart,
So so so much love, So so so much love, So so so much love,
It’s spilling right out of my, It’s spilling right out of my, It’s spilling right out of my heart!
