'Your World' (with drum outro)- Richard Marx - Sammy Lee Drumz

For my little Magpie...

"Your World"

The warmest day of all my life
You came to me, I held you in my hands
And something changed forever

I want you for a better time
To know the beauty of our Mother Earth
Cherish her forever

Never felt in such a hurry
So little time, so much to do
I lie awake and dream the dreams I'll share with you

This is your world now
No one can chase all your fears away
This is your world now
Trust in your heart to lead the way

I still recall a day so clear
I saw the future in my mother's eyes
Filled with tears of sorrow

The years roll by, the times do change
The truth around us harder to disguise
As we face tomorrow

So many promises were made me
So little hope remains alive
I only pray the dreams I leave you will survive

This is your world now
No one can chase all your fears away
Fight for your world now
Trust in your heart to find the way

You'll see what I'm saying / When you're on your own
The war that you're facing / Isn't yours alone

I am a man in search of reasons
Though I am still as much to blame
It's up to me to leave you more than just my name

This is your world now
No one can chase all your fears away
Fight for your world now
Trust in your heart to lead the way
This is your world now
I want to chase all your fears away
Fight for your world now
I know that somehow you'll find your way

Taken from the studio album 'Rush Street' by Richard Marx

Drums by Terry Bozzio

Drum cover performed and produced by Sammy Lee Autumn 2020

This particular song was introduced to me when I was a young impressionable dude by my uncle Kev, the ultimate arbiter and architect of my early musical influences, and an all round quality bloke/legend! The song always resonated deeply within me throughout my life, and now, having recently become a proud father for the first time - the song has struck the deepest chord, mainly due to its subject matter reflecting my own personal feelings towards my little Maggie. Consequently the content of this video is somewhat sentimental (some would argue -cheesy as a cheddar ritz cracker)... but I offer zero apology for that as I am in awe of my little girl and she emits such truth, such joy and such an abundance of life, never before have I felt such love and such purpose in this thing we call life... The drumming on this track although not overly complex, is as tasty as a custard filled sugar donut, I only hope i did it some justice as Bozzio really nails it so tight and adds to the songs overall brilliance.

Party on and stay frosty y'all.
