about

This 'Just A Song' is a relatively new original. In many ways, I wrote this as an internal conversation whilst reflecting on my feelings for someone that was very special in my life. Inevitably, it is an affirmation to keep striving with all that we are.

I would have loved to have overdubbed the vocal with a head less full of hay fever here but . . . ‘tis what it is and the show goes on.

Either way, I hope it brings a little happy to your day.

lyrics

GENEROSITY (All your Life)
By Tom Williams

I see you in the stars looking out at night
You lit a light in my life
And from the other side (I’m) remembering
How you’d lift me up whenever I was down

With one step over the bread line and six thousand miles from all you truly value
You never stopped reaching out for more
All your life

I heard somebody say the strangest thing about you to me yesterday
I couldn’t comprehend, knowing who you are
They must have misunderstood your generosity

As gossip only fuels the fire and talk sits in between the truthful and the liars
You never stopped reaching out for more
All your life

I wrestle with my conscience, try to make a difference
Do all I can
Find comfort with my bare hands, a shiver that we all share
As it comes to an end

The day you helped me mend that broken wing
Of our little, furry, feathered friend
Right from the start without eyes to see
You led the way forward in the dark

As greed, wealth, control and power dictate the way we live and how we treat each other
You never stopped reaching out for more
All your life

Now you’re shining bright in the night sky
Your words ring in my ears
“Care for one another and never stop reaching out for more.
No, no, no, never stop reaching out for more.”

You never stopped reaching out for more
All your life
