About Me

My name’s Alan Sprung and I was born in Coventry, England on the 16th March 1950.

I’ve been writing my own songs since about 1995. I like to write songs that encourage people to think about social and political issues that I believe are important.

I still live in Coventry with my partner, Maggie Holdsworth, and we have two lovely daughters - Ella, who was born in 1983 and Eppie, who was born in 1986.

If you need to contact me you can email me at the following address:

Hope you find a song that means something to you.

Welcome

Chorus:

Welcome to the wondrous world of living
Welcome to the miracle of life
It’s a world for the taking and the giving
It’s the place where we all live our lives

You belong with your family and your people
Safe and secure in all you do
In this world, that we all share together,
We’ve saved a place that fits no one but you

There’ll be hugs and there’ll be kisses, as we love you
We’ll be close - as close as close can be
There’ll be friends for you to learn and play with
There’ll be fun and games, just you wait and see

Some of those who love you may be struggling
Some of them may not know what to do
Their tears may have to wash away their sadnesses
But none of these things mean they don’t love you

We’ll be there to help you when you need it
People love to help out where they can
Everybody benefits from others
Every child, every woman, every man

So this world and all its wonders are before you
There’s no end to what a little one might do
Precious things are waiting round each corner
But none of them more valuable than you
