about

This song was inspired via an email I sent to my email list. It was titled "Keeping my head above water". A fan replied to the email and told me I should write a song about that so. . .I did!

lyrics

Tides go out
Tides come in
Days end
Days begin
Horizons disappear
Hopes and dreams fly by

I got a life
I got a soul
I got a million
Miles to go
A faceless clock
Tells no time
But time,
Can go to waste

While I try to keep my head above water
Try to breathe some air
Try one path, maybe another feels like
Swimming upstream

The sun will set
The sun will rise
We greet the day
With sleepy eyes
The fog soon lifts
The day moves on
The mind's
An empty space

Still I try to keep my head above water
Try to breathe some air
Try one path, maybe another feels like
Swimming upstream

Every day
Decisions made
With a different set of tools
Should I stay the course
Or turn downstream
Or Just play by the rules

I try to keep my head above water
Try to breathe some air
Try one path, maybe another feels like
Swimming upstream
