You've got to love inspiration...it's a frustrating and beguiling thing...
Sometimes it comes when you don't even think about it.
This song was written around a melody I started humming in the shower...
:-)
I spent the rest of the weekend, writing an entire song around that melody, recording it, mixing it, mastering it and then doing a lyric video (which you can view here:
Lyrically...I'll let you decide what you think it means...
Thank you for reading.

lyrics
All we've been through... Your the light that gives encouragement...
This is much is true, I still do...
The road is long and this life is something you can't qualify easily,
And it's all a chance, isn't it...And there's something else in it.
When the weight presses down and your lost in the grey,
Take it back to the start and don't care what people say.
Cast your woes out, Let your dreams flower,
It's your life, so choose...what you wanna do...
Live a life without limits...
All we've been through... Yet your the light that gives encouragement...
This is much is true, I still do...
Please please please...don't think that's it's wrong...
Cuz they tell us it's all sinning...yet it's not about the winning...
But surely though, it's a matter of perspective,
Take a gamble and admit it, that it's simply all subjective...
Worry worry, woe...no! That's yesterday's news...but...
That freedom of thought, healing...Giving anything to feel it
Lift yourself up...Reach a little higher.
Today is not your day to see the funeral pyre...
