Aloha everyone. Just out of the hospital for five days and nice to be back home. This next song is entitled: “It’s Your Life.” Before I got married, everyone was telling me what to do. So I said to myself, ‘it’s my life to do what I want to.’ That is what inspired me to write this song.

It’s Your Life
It’s your life to do what you want to,
it’s your life to love who you want to.
I’m gonna do the things I always wanted to,
to be with you to share with you my dreams.
It’s you life you make it what it is,
but only you love will open heavens door,
and only your love will take me to any shore.
It’s your life to do what you want to,
it’s your life to love who you want too.
Please be kind to your life and give your heart
to me for it’s my love and my life I give to you.
