Never Stop Singing by Marc Block

Taking inspiration from this birthday-card picture of me by my elder son Solly, I wrote this for the occasion of his Bar Mitzvah. The reference to Blackbird marks how he learned the Beatles song after only a few weeks of learning the guitar, and he’s now, at 16, a better guitarist than I am.

lyrics

My son, my inventive one
My challenge and my pride
Never prouder than today
The day you make this stride
Deep in your ancestry
Following history
Sailing your sea

Never stop singing
Never stop playing
Never stop having fun
Never stop dancing
Never stop laughing
Never stop trying in life to be one

My son, my wise one
Daily you teach me
Always I’m surprised,
With Blackbird you just fly
Quick as you grow
Knowing all that you know
So follow your flow

Be one who makes a difference, one who does right
As you inspire our love
Be one with the world and the light
Be the change in the world for which you call
Let the light in you honour the light in us all
