Lyrics
5. SONGFARMER
A front porch Amazing Grace, ‘round the world face to face,
Tired shoes, the day was long, hope comes in a song.
Guitar and banjo pickin’ time, You Are My Sunshine,
There’s good times on the front porch tonight.
Chorus:
We gather on a front porch the sounds of letting go,
We play songs together, a little love, a little hope.
Playful eyes, working hands, hearts on fire,
Here with you, the songs go high and higher.
Good seeds make a start, a little place in your heart,
Tapping toes or spoons, a down-home afternoon.
Grab a snack, sit back, young sprout or prime time,
Oh, your SongFarmer light, let it shine.
(Chorus)
‘Possum wild but refined, unto others be kind,
Country roads and friends on a blue marble spin.
Neighbors near and far, together with a rhyme,
And your frolic feet go dancing with mine.
(Chorus)
