about

A discourse on hope, and recognizing that after sinking into a deep chasm of loss and hurt, you can only climb out anew. A song for those feeling desperate and lonely, to realize that you are not alone, and that YOU truly are what you SEEK.

lyrics

I was a whistlin’ bird singin’ prayers to the sky
Under the cover of an emboldened lover
Mistress of anything I’d try
Well, well I
Heard the tune of some other heart
Pluckin’ strings along his bow
Down I dove into the darkness
Everlovin’ steamy hot mess of
A love we long to know

Safe in the night
I kept to my crib and I slept
Waning the moon she peeled back
Til there was nothin’ left

Waist deep and oh so stuck
Pulling away from the tar
Why’d I surrender to your soliloquy,
Why’d it have to go this far
Taunted and frayed I backed away
From every emancipatin’ choice
Fearin’ I’d be sighted amidst love unrequited
I hid behind the noise

But in the edge of the night
It comes clear
The only thing holdin’ me backwards
Is fear

Emerging from the ashes
I will rise again
Stumblin’ through that awful mess that
I got myself in
Though it’s hard to accept change
When what you knew is gone
Just listen to that voice inside your head singin’
You’re not alone
Oh no, you’re not alone…

You’re not alone now, ooo...

You’re not alone (3x)
