Story Behind the Song
In '97, I spent a few months visiting my dying grand-uncle, sharing the only gift I knew how - my music.
He talked about his feelings of failure, of not providing enough for his family, yet still in his family's eyes - he was the greatest man they'd ever known.
It reminded me of the feelings of inadequacy that I'm sure we all have at times. While I was still writing the song, I'd sing the chorus to myself:
"You can be all that you dreamed of
Look in your heart and you'll see all the
Beauty that no one can ever take
I love and believe all that you are
You have become all I've dreamed of
Strong in your love and your kindness
You've brought me a joy beyond compare
I love and believe all that you are"
and I'd be comforted, even moved to tears as if some higher being was singing these words to me.
Strange, I know...but music is healing, even for the writer.
Lyrics
ALL THAT YOU ARE
In a time so long ago was a boy with childhood wishes
Of a life so rich, with hopes he would go far
Here today you've grown into a worn man you can't be proud of
'Cause you feel you've failed more times than you have won
You can be all that you dreamed of
Look in your heart and you'll see all
The beauty that no one can ever take
I love and believe all that you are
You have worked too hard, too long for so little consolation
Babe I know you wanted so much more for us
Oh the world seems cold and dark, such a lonely place to be in
But you're not alone I'm still here by your side. Can't you see?
You can be all that you dreamed of
Look in your heart and you'll see all the
Beauty that no one can ever take
I love and believe
You have become all I've dreamed of
Strong in your love and your kindness
You've brought me a joy beyond compare
I love and believe all that you are
(instrumental)
In my heart you'll always be my strong man - my only champion
Oh I love, I believe all that you are
