Acoustic Folk Art 3, Track 2, 03:08
Milkweed & Helicopters
​​
Felt you kicking in your mama's womb
I suppose you may be needing room
Looking forward to meeting you soon 
Milkweed and helicopters
Flying in the wind  

I'll do the best I can to help you grow
Try to teach you
What you need to know
Give you all the love that's in my soul
Milkweed and helicopters
Flying in the wind 

There's so much I want to say      
I suppose we still have time

I hope one day
That you will understand 
Life seldom turns out
Quite the way we plan 
But God still loves you
And He holds your hand 
Milkweed and helicopters
Flying in the wind

There's a lifetime ahead of you
Though we don't know how long
Or what you'll go through 
To be loved and to feel the pain
To lay in the sunshine
And walk through the rain
The day will come
​When you will say good-bye
For everyone
There comes a time to fly
And you in turn
Will learn to answer why
Milkweed and helicopters
Flying in the wind  

There's so much I want to say      
I suppose we still have time

Felt you kicking in your mama's womb
I suppose you may be needing room
Looking forward to meeting you soon 
Milkweed and helicopters
​Flying in the wind
Song Notes

This song was written when we were expecting our second child.  Everyone tells you not to blink.  That your kids will be grown before you know it.  That you should take in every day while you can.  It's true and I'm grateful for every day shared.  I've always admired Harry Chapin's 'Cat's In the Cradle.'  This song has similar themes, but also goes different places. ​
