Song: New Times

This is the first draft of a song I wrote for my son who has just headed off to live in Europe. (4 mins) NEW TIMES CHORUS Well my son’s away – our thoughts and prayers go with you Travel far and safe – our love goes always with you As you follow your dreams – remember those at home go with you Though you’re far away we travel in silence with you Hoping you’ll find what you’re seeking There’ll be brand new faces – who will want to know you Brand new places and some will no doubt test you But I know you’ll find your way through CHORUS I have watched you change – from baby to grown man I love who you’ve become – a man who knows that children Can teach us lots of life’s lessons And no matter how long – you roam the world afar There are people at home – who you can always turn to If it all seems too hard CHORUS BRIDGE I wandered abroad to discover new seas We took you away from this land that you now leave So I well understand what now takes you away And wonder alone what your new world will bring And if this land.....will be home again CHORUS
