I've heard it said that raising kids is much like being pecked to death by chickens. :-) Thankfully, I don't feel that way very often, but it's a fair enough question to ask "Why do we do it?" It’s pretty simple. We do it for love.

I'm more of a songwriter than a performer...it's the creative writing process I love. This is a collection of basement song demos I've assembled over the past few years. Most are pretty simple & straightforward, usually a couple of acoustic guitar tracks and vocal. I'll be adding songs as time allows. They tend to be family or nature-oriented, and focus on parenting, family life and related foibles. Hope you're into it. Also, I do commercial voice overs. If you're in need of a smooth baritone voice with distinctive tone and balance, I'd be yer guy. ;-) You can find me online at VoicesOnCall.com & Voice123.com. I'm also a freelance advertising/marketing copywriter, broadcast producer and strategist. Stop by my www.timperrycreative.com if you're so inclined! and Audio Production for Any Size Project

Lyrics
Do It For Love Timothy A. Perry © July 10, 2003 Verse 1: They start out as such fragile things And in our hearts they land. Futures held so gently In the palms of loving hands. We’re trusted with a higher goal And to it we are called. Seeing to their welfare Not for one, but for all. Chorus 1: We do it for love. We do it on faith Touching their lives Steering their fate. Building on trust To lift them above We do it on faith. We do it for love. Verse 2: They grow into the mold we cast But yearning for their wings We steer them clear of greed and fear And mindless bigotry. Knowing we can never teach them All they need to know So we fill their hearts with good and right ….And off they grow. Chorus 1: We do it for love. We do it on faith Touching their lives Steering their fate. Building on trust To lift them above We do it on faith. We do it for love. Do It For Love cont’ Timothy A. Perry © July 10, 2003 Bridge: There is no greater gift to give, That means more to a child. Than parents who will love each other ‘Cross the years and miles. Chorus 1: We do it for love. We do it on faith Touching their lives Steering their fate. Building on trust To lift them above We do it on faith. We do it for love. Chorus #2: Do it on hope. Rise to the need Look for a way To nurture the seed Teach them to live And what it’s of. Do it on faith. Do it for love. Chorus 1: We do it for love. We do it on faith Touching their lives Steering their fate. Building on trust To lift them above We do it on faith. We do it for love. Do it for love….. Do it for love….. Do it for love…...
