Story Behind The Song

I don?t know Emily, but I know many children and adults like her, who need constant care which is given unconditionally by parents or loved ones, often without receiving the much needed help and financial assistance that they deserve. It?s also for the people in these circumstances who never give up, despite the odds. This is their song, long may they continue to prove everyone around them wrong.

Lyrics

Teaching Emily To Count To Ten
Darkness falls on bedroom walls and toys are locked away
There?s a smile behind those sleepy eyes at the end of a long hard day
While others run and laugh and play Emily finds words hard to say
So against advice from learned men were teaching Emily to count to ten

2.
Her gentle looks inspire our lives bring sweet tears to her mothers eyes
A smile that sometimes can?t disguise the clouds that spoil, her days
If only she could understand say a word or hold my hand
Against advice from learned men were teaching Emily to count to ten
Against advice from learned men were teaching Emily to count to ten

3.
Without a thought to wasted years when deep frustration turned to tears
With patience love and tender care determination and despair
It?s in the shadow of the moon it?s in the silence of her room
Against advice from learned men were teaching Emily to count to ten

Refain
If only Emily could fly I know that she is listening
I know how hard she tries but it breaks my heart to see her cry

4.
As days pass by with lightening speed mindless of life's daily needs
Trying to hide the truth from view trying to make a dream come true
The road is hard and hearts may bend they say love conquers in the end
Against advice from learned men were teaching Emily to count to ten
Against advice from learned men were teaching Emily to count to ten
