about

This is a lullaby I wrote for my newborn twin granddaughters, and their parents who are uneasy about the world in which they will grow up.

lyrics

I'll Show You the Way

Lay your head upon my breast
Match your breath to mine
Wrap your arms around my waist
Sleep will come in time

Though the night is cold and dreary
You are safe at home
When the world is mad and scary
You'll not be alone

[CHORUS]
Cast all care away my child
I am here to say
When it’s time to walk through darkness
I'll show you the way

The bad things that some people do
You may not understand
Ask and I’ll explain to you
Or tell you when I can't

This I know with all my heart
Though it may seem far away
Light will always follow dark
And I’ll show you the way

[CHORUS - and repeat last line]

about

Tom Smith Boston, Massachusetts

“Folk music is still a living tradition that feeds on new songs that speak of people’s wants, needs, struggles and triumphs. Tom Smith is a man who writes songs that seem like they’ve always been there. There are very few songwriters working today that I would call folksingers, but I would call Tom Smith a true folksinger.” – Dave Palmeter, WUMB-FM Boston ... more
