about

A short story about a lost soul.

lyrics

Like my father taking my hand
Infinite loving, grace in my plans
Shot of sunshine – instead of that moonshine
I said I’m saved

Early evening slamming down ‘ol moonshine
Stumbling man sits next to me
He said, “let me tell you a little something ‘bout this life”
Raise my head, set my plea – you gotta let me be

He goes, how you treating your little lady, how you loving your newborn baby
See you’ve been running, my son – better get back home

Might be talking a little crazy, truth flowing – seen it lately
Open your eyes, surely see

Thinking how can this ‘ol fellow know me
Man of mystery
Digging deep inside my soul
Shame that I already know

Like my father, taking my hand
Infinite loving, grace in my plans
Shot of sunshine – instead of that moonshine
I said I’m saved

Early morning, walking that cold shoreline
Wise ‘ol lady steps to me
She says, “let me tell you a little something ‘bout this life”
Shake my head in disbelief – how can this be
She goes, how you treating your little lady, how you loving your newborn baby
Been slipping for some time, my son – without a life of love
Look at your reflection, baby – scars showing, that does phase me
Open your mind – surely see

Thinking how can this ‘ol lady know me
Woman of mystery
Digging deep inside my soul
Shame that I already know

Like my mother, taking my hand
Infinite loving, grace in my plans
Shot of sunshine – instead of that moonshine
I said I’m saved

Thinking there’s a number to beat
Fool you better call on me
You make me dance, make me dance, make me dance
Rain your loving into me

Thankful that you’re looking at me
Ain’t much a mystery
Digging deep inside my soul – shame running me no more

Like my father, taking my hand
Infinite loving, grace in my plans
Shot of sunshine – instead of that moonshine
I said I’m saved

about

Matt Dahl & The Family Band Madison, Wisconsin

I am a school administrator by day. Daddy by night (and day). Songwriter whenever I can squeeze it in. While part of me wishes I had more time to play and write music, most of me wouldn't have it any other way. I love my family. I love my God. I love my life. Though I have no interest in touring, my dream is to have my music do the traveling for me. Here's to hoping one of my songs gets picked up. ... more
