Children In Need (2009)

This Friday sees BBC1 hand over to Children In Need 2009.

A few years ago Deacongirl and I recorded a song which she had co-written with the Children In Need cause in mind. Unfortunately the charity didn't take it up, but through Visionary Dictionary we now have a chance to earn a few pennies for the cause and for the song to complete the purpose for which it was written.

Please follow the web-link, listen to the song and, if you like it, it's yours to download All we ask is that you make a donation. One hundred percent of your donation will go to Children In Need.

Having done all that, please come back and tell us what you think of the song.

Here are the lyrics and thanks for you generosity.

Love from me and Deacongirl
Xx


Hold Me In Your Arms

Children are pure, children are joy
Growing with the season every girl and boy
Needing our love, knowing that there's someone there
Wrapped in the warmth of a caring soul
Listen to the words of fear
Hearing the cry of a child
Hold me in you arms tonight

Hold me in your arms like you've never been gone
Hold me in your arms tonight
Cos I can't carry on
Lest you hold me in your arms tonight

Strength can be yours, power can be mine
A child needs to learn a child needs time
Innocent hearts beating against the tide
It may be a whisper, it may be a scream
But you are the only one
Hearing the cry of a child
Saying hold me in your arms tonight

There'll come a time when they can stand against the world
But that's another time
So long
So long to go now
