Glenrowan

Fresh Lego
Spread across the Christmas floor
You're reading a story out loud to us all
Then packing into the car for six hours or more
For the annual trip to Warrnambool
Spent that trip learning harmonies to carols

You never asked for a song
But a piece of each belongs
And I hope a part of every word and note
Will find its way home
To Glenrowan
You never asked for a song
I'm sorry it took so long

Ink stains
All over your wall
Tell the rise from every fall
Beauty drawn for each a portal
Towards the light that calls your name
Late nights
Laughing till we fall down
Wrestling ideas to the ground
String of pearls to be unwound
World of words to scribble down
Speaking out against the cloud
Till sweet rest with dawn alight

You never asked for a song
But a piece of each belongs
And I hope a part of every word and note
Will find its way home
To Glenrowan
You never asked for a song
I'm sorry it took so long

Family
Is not a secret to be kept
Give it all there'll be some left
All are welcome to this rest
Open hand not a closed fist
A cure for the lonely
Questions
Keep asking more questions
It's the door to others worlds
Stretch on past the point of nerves
No need of bravado to preserve
Our ever-needed lesson

You never asked for a song
But a piece of each belongs
And I hope a part of every word and note
Will find its way home
To Glenrowan
You never asked for a song
I'm sorry it took so long
