    • Verse 1
    It 
    took 
    a 
    move 
    to 
    the 

    coun
    try 
    to 
    open 
    up 
    my 
    eyes 

    A 
    fall 
    of 
    rain, 
    a muddy 
    road, 

    I 
    watched 
    the 
    puddles 
    rise 

    I 
    slipped 
    on 
    gum
    boots 
    and 

    stepped 
    out 
    into 
    the 
    rain 

    And 
    rediscovered 
    splash
    ing through 

    the 
    muddy 
    puddles 
    again 

    The 
    kids 
    took 
    me 
    from 
    the 
    staff 
    room 

    to 
    the 
    bush 
    where 
    they 
    played 

    A 
    world 
    of 
    carbies, 
    of 
    brave 
    companions, 

    of 
    secret 
    hide
    aways 

    The 
    joy 
    of 
    child
    hood 
    they 
    shared 
    with 
    me 
    I 
    was 

    re
    minded 
    of 
    imagin
    ation 
    an
    d 
    the 
    world 

    the 
    children 
    see 

    There's 
    a 
    wealth 
    of 
    life 
    so 
    easily 
    just 
    left 

    behind 
    to 
    rot 

    We 
    say 
    we've 
    reached 
    maturity, 

    we 
    seem 
    to 

    miss 
    a 
    lot. 

    We'd 
    be 
    a 
    whole 
    lot 
    better 
    off 
    if 
    we 

    took 
    the 
    time 
    to 
    share 
    our 
    lives 
    with 

    our 
    children. 

    Now 
    a 
    friend 
    of 
    mine 
    with 
    a 
    book 
    in 
    hand 

    was 
    sprawled 
    out 
    on 
    the 
    floor, 

    Taken 
    to 
    another 
    place 
    through 

    an 
    open 
    door 

    Engrossed 
    in 
    a 
    living 
    book 

    I 
    re
    member 
    the 
    joy 

    Of 
    my 
    mum 
    reading 
    a 
    story 
    to 
    me 

    in 
    bed 
    when 
    I 
    was 
    a 
    boy 

    There's 
    a 
    wealth 
    of 
    life 
    so 

    easily 
    just 
    left 
    behind

    We

    I 
    took 
    a 
    walk 
    through 
    the 
    bush 
    with 
    friends, 

    we 
    chatted 
    as 
    we strolled 

    Ran 
    and 
    laughed 
    and 
    dis
    covered 
    things 
    to 
    see, 

    to 
    touch, 
    to 
    hold 

    A 
    spider 
    hole, 
    a 
    rusty 
    lock, 

    so 
    much 
    to 
    be 
    found 

    By 
    taking 
    time 
    to 
    walk 
    together, 

    taking 
    time 
    to 
    look 
    around 

    There's 
    a 
    wealth 
    of

    so 

    easily 
    just

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
