Song Partners is proud to introduce a new song by Melanie Barnes
This song honors Melanie's grandmother, who lived her life on the family's Virginia farm. Sadly, after a century, the farm may not be in the family much longer. However, the memories of those who worked the land will live on.
The Song is the JourneyBy Melanie Barnes
A down home country mom She cooked a mess of turnips down As she sang this Virginia song
(chorus) The song is the journey As it travels through my mind So many flowing measures Some happy, some with plight The soul aligning, clinging to the beat The song is the journey The song repeats
How many times I wonder It took to learn the verse The words tell my story The ones that I rehearse The reason is a mystery Through the sharing I find peace The music is flowing It's spinning out the beats
(chorus)
Some say the song's like praying A passage to above The song is the journey The song is love Love is the journey Love from above The song is the journey The song is love
(chorus)
