It All Adds Up To Home
The big tree
In my back yard
Throws a shadow
Over the grass
The way the leaves rustle
Makes me think
Of some long lost
Days gone past
Why can’t I forget them
As far and wide I’ve roamed
You carry them inside me
They all add up to home
I look into my
daughter’s eye
And feel suddenly
Aware
Of my own self
Here inside of me
Looking out
Am I really there
Will she contemplate this
When she’s fully grown
Will she carry me with her
Will I add up to home
Hi there! If you're new around these parts, welcome. I'm Jonathan Mann. I write a song every single day, and I've been doing that for the last 7+ years.
Through sick days, tired days, days with no inspiration, the death of my grandma, the breakup of a 5 year long relationship, the marriage to my wife and the birth of our son - I've never missed a day. This is my life's work.
You can see my most current song, as well as songs from year's past over at http://songaday.org
