I wrote this song for my son, Archie. He is now almost 2. This is me not resisting the (probably) impotent urge to give parental advice.
The Secret To Life
I feel it’s time to pass on to you everything I’ve learnt in my life
No, it won’t take long, it’s a tragically short song
I feel it’s time my son to pass on the secret to life
Yes, there is only one and it’s at the end of the song, so hang on
The secret to life is.. feeling your hand being taken
The secret to life is.. fear is powerless
The secret to life is.. dancing in the kitchen
The secret to life is.. there’s beauty in the mess
The secret to life is.. eating cake whilst it’s oven warm
The secret to life is.. if it feels wrong then it’s probably wrong
The secret to life is.. anyone who says “you don’t know that you’re born” doesn’t know that they’re born
The secret to life is.. everything’s better after you’ve sung
Inst
Dreams come true, we dreamed of you
The secret to life is.. feel what you feel
The secret to life is.. it’s no big deal
But I promised you just one secret, and mind my son you keep it
The secret to life is.. there’s no secret
