Story Behind The Song
ODE TO OUR CHILDREN - I am very proud to be a father, and I think a lot of other folks out there are proud parents as well. I love children and I really wanted to write a fun song for parents and children to enjoy. A song about childhood and the innocence of play. All of us can relate to this song.

Lyrics
Don't wait up on me
Cause' I'm gonna take my time
Don't you tell on me
Cause' nobody likes a tattletale
Oh, we pray for you the healthiest of lives
Oh, we pray for the happiest of lives
And don't you ever forget
Cause' you'll brave it, defeat it
Deep inside you'll feel it
It's your time so seize it all
Cause' you have it in you
That drive to push you through
To rise above it all
Ode to our children, Ode to our kids
Don't make a mess in here
Cause' daddy just finished cleaning
Don't you spoil your dinner
Cause' mamma just finished cooking
Oh, we pray for you the healthiest of lives
Oh, we pray for you the happiest of lives
And don't you ever forget
*CHORUS* (X2)
