Story Behind The Song
The words for Your Story Of Life are my way of speaking to those I care about. I'd like to encourage them and others to be diligent to paint the picture of your life you see in your mind. Only you can paint the picture your life is intended to paint and only you can complete the book that is your life's work. In other words, be true to what you want and need from your life, trust your dreams and don't let others discourage you or distract you from that long range goal. This song is intended as fatherly advice for my children and their children. I can only imagine what technology will be like when they finish painting the picture that is their life. My picture and my book are not yet complete. They've taken different shapes as years have added chapters and layers of paint.

Recording Notes:
A few of the tracks are left over from my iOS Garageband writing session but most were rerecorded in Logic Pro X. I find it's a great combination to use... being able to compose in Garageband and then transfer the entire project to Logic and do the important work there.

Lyrics
Paint your picture, a stroke at a time
Life is your canvas, for you to define
Use all the colors, you see in your mind
And paint your picture, a stroke at a time
A picture of life, picture of your life
A picture of life,
Paint your picture of your life
Write your story, a word at a time
Each new chapter, for you to define
Letter by letter, line by line
And write your story, a word at a time
Don't let people sway your mind
Go create your words of life
Travel life's journey, one step at a time
Each destination, for you to define
You've got pictures to paint, and stories to write
Travel life's journey, one step at a time
And don't let people cloud your mind
Go create your words of life
Life's a mountain you must climb
Step by step but you'll be fine
The story of your life x 4
