about

...because this, the title tune, is narrower in focus, sung to a new child, or perhaps a grandchild. There is a tender, yearning quality to the very sequence of chords, and the sonic landscape of the production is joyous, a waterfall of harmonic chimes flowing from Kevin Laliberte's guitar. This is the centre of the album, temporally, musically, emotionally.



'All the troubles you will know, Troubled waters, troubled times

Ah the birds ah the birds hear them singing in their trees

There's a promise in their rhymes'

lyrics

Here’s the promise I make to you
For each stormy sky there’s one of blue
There’s a light keeps shining through
That’s the promise I make to you

Here’s the promise I make again
All your love is not in vain
The world will open as each day renews
The promise I make to you

Let me hold you for a moment
Wrap you in this sacred cloak
The storm, the storm rages all around
May you grow strong and solid as an oak

Here’s the promise it’s in this song
Each time you sing, I’ll sing along
As time goes by, you’ll know what’s true
That’s the promise I make to you

All the troubles you will know
Troubled waters, troubled times
The birds, the birds singing in their trees
Do you hear the promise in their rhymes?

Here’s the promise I make to you
For each stormy sky there’s one of blue
There’s a light keeps shining through
That’s the promise I make to you
