Signs and Traces

by Tim Be Told

supported by

skyrosiac An incredibly uplifting song. Originally written for Tim's beloved godson, this is a moving tribute to the surpassing love of every guardian who has ever reflected the heart of God while watching over a child. This is classic TBT; what moves Tim in life translates beautifully to his art. This will make your heart swell with light.

lyrics

Signs and Traces
By Timothy Ouyang

V1
A final push and you arrived
Time stopped and then you cried
I sang a little lullaby
Be still my heart, this is the start of something new

CHORUS 1
Life is short embrace it,
it's scary let's face it
not everyone makes it
so one day when i'm gone
I'll leave signs and traces
Of our times and places
So you always know you're loved
and I am always near

V2
Drink the rain and breathe the sun
Don't just walk when you can run
Make some friends and fall in love
When it gets hard
I will remind you of the part of life that's good

CHORUS 2
Time is short embrace it
it's scary let's face it
God gives and takes it
So one day when I’m gone
I’ll leave signs and traces
Of our times and places
So you always know you’re loved
and I am always near

BRIDGE
You’ll see signs of my love
You’ll see signs of my love

V3
There comes a day when we will die
Time will stop and say goodbye
One more breath then close our eyes
but it's not the end, it’s not the end of everything

LAST CHORUS
Life is short don’t waste it,
Breathe it in and taste it
God gives and takes it
so one day when I'm gone
I'll leave signs and traces
Of our times and places
So you always know you're loved
and I am always near
