a good song from a mother to child?

Question

Im puting together a slide show of "growing up" pictures for my wedding. its all individual pictures of my fiance and I as we were growing up from infant to present. I found some really good Celine Dion songs from her Miracle CD for when my pictures are playing, but I need a few good songs for HIS pictures. Something sweet and touching. Something with words that a mother would sing to her son. Any ideas would really help!!! Thanks!

Answer 2

Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young - "Teach your Children"

by Graham Nash

You Who Are On The Road
Must Have A Code
That You Can Live By
And So Become Yourself
Because The Past
Is Just A Goodbye.

Teach Your Children Well
Their Father’s Hell
did Slowly Go By
And Feed Them On Your Dreams
The One They fix
The One You’ll Know By.

Don’t You Ever Ask Them Why
If They Told You, You Would Cry
So Just Look At Them And Sigh
And Know They Love You.

And You, (Can you hear and)
Of Tender Years (Do you care and)
Can’t Know The Fears (Can you see we)
That Your Elders Grew By (Must be free to)
And So Please Help (Teach your children what)
Them With Your Youth (You believe in)
They Seek The Truth (Make a world that)
Before They Can Die (We can live in)

Teach Your Parents Well
Their Children’s Hell
Will Slowly Go By
And Feed Them On Your Dreams
The One They fix
The One You’ll Know By.

Don’t You Ever Ask Them Why
If They Told You, You Would Cry
So Just Look At Them And Sigh
And Know They Love You.

Answer 4

Three songs I used for similar projects:

These Are The Days Of Our Lives
by Queen

Sometimes I get to feeling I was back in the old days, long ago
When we were kids when we were young
Things seemed so perfect, you know
The days were endless we were crazy we were young
The sun was always shining, we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately, I just don't know
The rest of my life's been just a show

Those were the days of our lives, the bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing is true
When I look and I find, I still love you
You can't turn back the clock you can't turn back the tide... Ain't that a shame
I'd like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride, when life was just a game
No use in sitting and thinking on what you did
When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids
Sometimes it seems like lately, I just don't know
Better sit back and go with the flow

Because these are the days of our lives
They've flown in the swiftness of time
These days are all gone now but some things remain
When I look and I find no change

Those were the days of our lives, yeah
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing's still true
When I look and I find... I still love you

I still love you

I Hope You Dance
Leanne Womack]
(This song is for my kids,,,,,,espically my dance partner Trist)
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger,
May you never take a single breath for granted,
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small
When you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me, that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance . I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains
in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance,
Living might mean taking chances
But they are worth taking,
Loving might be a mistake
But it's worth making,
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider,
Give the heavens above more
Than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance . I hope you dance

I hope you still feel small
When you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance . I hope you dance

With Arms Wide Open (by Creed)

Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I closed my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open

Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open

If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world
With arms wide open...
