Instances like this are few and far between. Charlie saves it for those truly difficult nights, and he always starts so quiet. A low hum, surprising in musicality, that follows a melody that Thandi has grown familiar with over the years.
It seems to guide her into sleep, and she nearly never hears the words. Between the calming song and his hand stroking her, it always seems like a dream. He’s never admitted to it, and it’s difficult to prompt him to do it. No, it’s something really special.
Tonight, she’s recovering from an echo of her nightmares, and so she remains awake long enough to hear him sing to her. The humming blends into words, so quiet that the crickets nearly drown him out.
“You are right where you need to be… poised to inspire and to succeed…”
It’s like a blanket that soothes her. He sounds so sweet.“Soon… you’ll finally find your own way…”
Lyrics:
Wandering child of the earth
Do you know just how much you’re worth?
You have walked this path since your birth
You were destined for more
There are those who’ll tell you you’re wrong
They will try to to silence your song
But right here is where you belong
So don’t search anymore
You are the dawn of a new day that’s waking
A masterpiece still in the making
The blue in an ocean of grey
You are right where you need to be
Poised to inspire and to succeed
You’ll look back and you’ll realize one day
In your eyes there is doubt
As you try to figure it out
But that’s not what life is about
So have faith there’s a way
Though the world may try to define you
It can’t take the light that’s inside you
So don’t you dare try to hide
Let your fears fade away
You are the dawn of a new day that’s waking
A masterpiece still in the making
The blue in an ocean of grey
You are right where you need to be
Poised to inspire and to succeed
You’ll look back and you’ll realize one day
You are the dawn of a new day that’s waking
A masterpiece still in the making
The blue in an ocean of grey
You are right where you need to be
Poised to inspire and to succeed
Soon you’ll finally find your own way
