I wrote this song for my father who passed away 6 months ago. When I was driving out in the country in my home state of South Dakota, I looked at all the fields of wheat and corn, and realized that our parents planted the seeds and helped us grow and took care of us. We carry on their legacy.
I recorded this live on a Boss BR-800 recorder, imported to Music Maker 2014 where I edited, mixed and mastered it.
You Don't Have To Worry
All the seeds are planted and the crops are in
And the signs say ''well done''
All the i's are dotted and the t''s'' are crossed
And your final painting has begun
You don't have to worry
all your work is done
All the seeds you planted
are growing in the sun
The values of a different age
borne in hardship and strife
Were what you tried to instill in us
Through your lessons in our life
You don't have to worry
all your work is done
All the seeds you planted
Keep growing in the sun
LEAD
You don't have to worry
You don't have to cry
All the seeds you planted
Now reach up to the sky
You taught us hard work and honesty
You showed us how to be strong
But now it's time to lay down and rest
For you've given us all you have
You taught us to always give our best
But now your final painting is done
You don't have to worry
All your work is done
Your legacy will continue
Through your daughters and sons
You don't have to worry
All your work is done
You don't have to worry
All your work is done
