A lullaby inspired by the movie Labyrinth (a Jim Henson movie well worth watching!).
lyrics
CHORUS: Wrap me up in mystery and take me far away
Set me down in labyrinth walls and let me find my way
Feed me not your fairy fruit, but challenge me instead
In challenges I prove my worth and learn from what you've said
Lesson one, be careful what you ask
Lesson two, beware the simple task
Lesson three, nothing is ever as it seems
Lesson four, don't lose yourself in dreams
Beware, take care, be aware
Beware, take care, be aware
Lesson five, be kind to make a friend
Lesson six, the journey never ends
Seventh I learned that words can hold great power
Lesson eight, don't waste a single hour
Beware, take care, be aware
Beware, take care, be aware
Lesson nine, be careful who you fight
Lesson ten, things don't always come out right
Eleventh taught me to know when I should run
Lesson twelve, there are ways thing must be done
Beware, take care, be aware
Beware, take care, be aware
Last of all and the hardest one to learn
Lesson thirteen, when there's no where left to turn
A choice once made can't ever be undone
Sometimes you've lost, just when you think you've won
Beware, take care, be aware
Beware, take care, be aware
Beware, take care, be aware
Beware.

I walked away from playing music ten years ago, disgusted with music and myself. SJ Tucker's songs have played no small part in bringing me back in a truly strange yet beautiful way. The blisters on my fingers and the gloom in my heart are nearly healed. I sat down my new acoustic guitar to write a comment about some heavy medicine and now I'm going to get back to my therapy. I can't thank you enough SJ! Keep up the good work! roddylloyd
