	If You Are An Angel    Ship of Dreams    Going To The River    A Love Like This
	IF YOU ARE AN ANGEL © 2003 Lowry Olafson from the CD  Solid Ground If you are an angel, with tiny angel wings Who floated down from heaven, where all the angels sing, And if you are an angel come into this world, I would not be surprised, when I look into the eyes Of this tiny little girl. If you are an angel dressed in baby's clothes A perfect little spirit, so awkwardly disposed And if you are an angel that would shed some light On how someone so small could come and change us all over night And when you miss your angel friends Remember they surround us all till our journey ends And if you listen close whenever they rejoice You can hear the songs of angels in your mama's voice And if you are angel, It may take a while for you to grow accustomed to being a little child But you must be an angel cuz ever since your birth Your tiny beating heart has brought a little part Of heaven down to earth Chorus: And if all of us were angels, not so long Help us to remember what all the angels know And if you are an angel come into this world Won't you help us to find the grace to make this a better place For a tiny little girl. Order Solid Ground CD SHIP OF DREAMS © 2003 Lowry Olafson from the CD Solid Ground When I was a boy, my father told me He'd always had a dream. Someday he'd buy a boat and pull up anchor, And where the wind would blow, That's where he would go. Chorus: And he would sail his ship of dreams, Crimson blue and green, Take it on a journey far and wide. And while he was fast asleep, he would sail his ship of dreams Till he was safe in harbour in the morning light. When he was getting old, nearly ninety. He'd never seen his dream come true. I asked him if he was disappointed. He smiled at me and said, "I never told you where I went," Chorus 2: "But son, I sailed my ship of dreams, Crimson blue and green, Took it on a journey far and wide While you were fast asleep, I would sail my ship of dreams Till I was safe in harbour in the morning light." "I discovered lands you can't imagine Weathered storms you won't believe, My life has overflowed with such adventure, And you were there with me, I never had to leave." Chorus 3: I sailed my ship of dreams, Crimson blue and green, Took it on a journey every night While you were fast asleep, I would sail my ship of dreams Til I was safe in harbour in the morning light." Now I have a little girl, and we love sailing Our boat is called the Ship of Dreams, I know it's not the boat her grandpa dreamt of But you should see him grin When we catch the wind. Chorus 4: And we can sail our ship of dreams Crimson, blue and green, And though the shore is never ever out of sight When it rocks my Dad to sleep, He can sail his ship of dreams Till he's safe in harbour in the morning light. When it rocks him off to sleep, He can sail his ship of dreams Till he's safe in harbour in the morning light. Order Solid Ground CD GOING TO THE RIVER © 2000 Lowry Olafson, Joe Stanton & Lisa Aschmann from the CD Solid Ground   -- listen  to Going to the River There's a place we love to go, With our baby girl, where the river flows, And the day floats away, like paper boats out on the bay And fills me more than I can say. We're going to the river, going to the river, Goin' to the river, goin, goin' goin' goin' gone, And when we hear that river rushing by, by by, Nothing stays the same for very long. A little girl changes everything Cuz she knows the songs that the river sings, And if you hold her close up to your ear, She'll sing the words so you can hear, Makes you wonder who's the wise one here. Chorus: When I'm stuck in the city's race, With a furrowed brow and a worried face, I call my girl, and I tell her Mom, The river says it's time for us to come, And off we ride to where the river runs. Order Solid Ground CD A LOVE LIKE THIS © 2003 Lowry Olafson & Lisa Aschmann from the CD Solid Ground She sits and she rocks and she holds her baby Late into the evening, The lights are way down low. The look on her face is so contented As he lies there sleeping, Soft as she's ever known. And the life that she is holding,Cradled in her arms, Tiny as a tiptoe, fragile as a lamb, yeah, Who could hold a love like this? The life that she lives and the one she's holding, Bundled in a blanket Wrapped together for all time. The love that she feels is like no other Growing by the hour, words cannot describe. And the tears that well up in her eyes As she thinks about the gift, The joy this little bundle has to give her, Who could hold a love like this? Bridge: No one could have told her How her love would grow And how her heart would open But now she knows. She sits and she rocks and she holds her baby And there's a reflection of starlight in her eyes. One day he'll be grown, his own star gazing And she imagines him, tall and strong and wise. She marvels at life's beauty, what her life has become What brought her to this place? Cause it's not just anyone Who could hold a love like this. Order Solid Ground CD
