Lyrics by Jackson


Jackson woke up Thursday morning with a song in his heart and he was ready to share it with the world. He was very proud to sing to us the new song that he wrote--he even created a little tune to go along with his latest release. I listened to the song several times and thought I would write down the lyrics to share (I wrote them down exactly as he sang the song).

There is a tornado
But it won't suck me up
'Cause I've grown too much
I had too funness
I'm smarter than a cage
It's true that Heavenly Father is there
He is always with me
No matter where I am
There is a tornado
But it won't suck me up

The lyrics, "I'm smarter than a cage," were unclear to me, so I asked Jackson, "just how smart is a cage, Buddy," and he replied, "oh, they are way smart because they are able to capture monsters." I also inquired about the lyrics, "I had too much funness." He said that means, "you know...a lot of fun."

I love this kid.
