Find a Way Home, Country Music Version

You can create songs from your children’s books. Listen in to the song above, Find a Way Home, with the lyric excerpted from the end of Gail Berry’s children’s book, Little Fox and the Golden Hawk.I used Mureka to create the song from Gail’s text (Mureka: https://www.mureka.ai/?utm_source=rewardful&via=7aa6dd).You can use the song or songs to promote your book, whether a children’s book, a novel, poetry, or a nonfiction book. In the next few days, I’ll share a song from each genre that I’ve created.Note: The lyrics below were formatted like a poem or song so the sentences and paragraphs break different from the way they appeared in the book.Lyrics (from the book)It is said that on the summer solsticewhen the moon is full and high in the sky,a child may see a red fox walking in the shadowsand a golden hawk flying low.But there is more,for this is the only legendthat ends with a promise.The Mountain Goddess promised Little Foxthat every soul that Little Fox lovedwould find a way home.The legend says that deep in the mountainsby the stream of crystalline waterswait Little Fox and her Golden Hawk.They wait by the stream of crystalline waters,and they call each name.So, when the moon is full, listen.Listen and you may hear them whisper your name.And, finally, you may go home.Chorus AddedThe Mountain Goddess promised Little Foxthat every soul that Little Fox lovedwould find a way home.It’s your turn today to go home.I added the chorus to make the text a little more song-like since most songs return to a key line or lines as a chorus.Book Marketing Success is a reader-supported publication.
