Ordinary Hero & Kristi Neumann Help Bring Waiting Children Home from Kelly Putty on Vimeo.

Why did Kristi write this song? Let her tell you in her own words.....

"My best childhood friend had her first baby this year and he was three and a half months early. She lives in Portland and I live in Nashville. I didn't feel like there was anything I could do to help or to ease her pain, I felt useless being so far away. I thought about that little boy (Cole) so helpless in the NICU and my friend not being able to hold her little boy or to comfort him. So I wrote "Cole's Lullaby" for the family, I thought every child should have their own lullaby. I felt like the most important thing a child could know is that they are loved and always have a safe place to call home, no matter where they are. I was sitting at a restaurant finishing the lyrics to the song and my dear friend Ashli York met me to tell me about her recent mission trip to Ethiopia with Ordinary Hero. She told me her sister wanted to adopt one of the orphans from Ethiopia but that it was an expensive process to bring a child over to the United States. I instantly knew I was to record and donate the proceeds of the lullaby to this adoption, and adoptions in the future. I know I was meant to write that song for Cole (who just got to come home this month and is doing well), and now I hope that song raises lots of money so that other children can find a safe place to call home."

Lyrics to Cole's Song

It's the moon's turn to shine
So my dear we must say good night
Close your eyes and dream
And know your place is with me

Go to sleep little one
I'll be here in the morning
By your side to hold you when you wake
I'll be wishing time would fly
Begging that sun to rise
You know my darling I can't wait
I can't wait

I've never loved like this before
Because you are mine and I am yours
You have my heart, you can believe
I'll be right here tomorrow so rest at ease

Go to sleep little one
I'll be here in the morning
By your side to hold you when you wake
I'll be wishing time would fly
Begging that sun to rise
You know my darling I can't wait
I can't wait

And I'll always be your safe place to go
So my love you're never alone

Thank you, Kristi, for such an amazing song!!
