Cover art for Ballad For My One True Love lyrics by Mason Jennings

There's something so deeply touching about the line "god bless the babies that sleep in you" ... it brings about this amazing sense of possiblity that can exist in life. Really, when you think about it, as a woman, the children you are capable of bearing are infinite. A rocket scientist, a musician, a painter, a lawyer, a doll maker... someone who will touch someone's heart in a way that was never thought possible before... it's an amazing point to ponder.

The idea of a man laying about pondering writing a ballad for someone he loves so deeply that he thinks about the children she could possibly bring into the world...there's nothing sweeter than that sentiment, to me. A truly gorgeous song in all ways.
