lyrics

If I were to catch me a wind
Would its power be enough to carry me from where I’ve been
Would I reach a higher state and could I rid myself of hate
My arms outstretched to change my fate

If I were to reach that place in time
Oh, what would my eyes lay upon, oh what there could I find
Would I find contented people with no weight upon their minds
I burn to see for now I’m blind

Oh, well, set me free from everything that I appear to be from
heavy hearts and washed out eyes from frozen feet and apathetic crimes
Oh, well, let me go to where I’m called not where I know to
who I am not who I’ve been to what I feel not what I tend to do

Super high quality, stellar work Gents!!! Thank you so much for a soundtrack to keep my sanity navigating this crazy world we’re living in. Great stuff start to finish. Some really standout work! Buffalo Snow is transcendent - no doubt. Passenger - love the organ and the legacy TWINS backbeat spirit! In Your Dreams kills! So Far Gone, Straight River Sketch and Living Proof hit all the right spots delivering a record that is so fully realized. So hope to see you soon! Be safe and well. abfab333.robczy
