Nil Lara

The great thing about having an iPod is the fact that you can shuffle songs and find some lost gem you never knew was in your collection. I was listening the other night, and the song, "My First Child" by Nil Lara came on. First of all, what an interesting name for a band (at least in our house!) and secondly, what great lyrics on the week of Evelyn's 5 month birthday. Not all the lyrics fit into our life, but here are the words that had an impact on me.




I've seen the response of God in me
Coming to life
Kicking me strong
Draining my blood

You're my first child
I'll show you no harm
I'll teach you my love
















Waking at night
Wanting caress
I'll keep you warm beside my bed
Together we'll rest
Deep in your sleep
My body's your glove






You're my first child
I'll show you no harm
I'll teach you my love





Smelling my skin
Feeling my face
I'll feed you each and every time
You cry into space
Holding my hands
Clutching my heart

You're my first child
I'll show you no harm
I'll teach you my love
