lyrics

You work so hard tryin’ to chase a dream
The more you take the more it breaks
Starts tearing at the seams
And a fine line is drawn between a myth and reality
And time that was spent,when looking through the years
Was all so heaven sent, no need for doubt and fear`

Now you close your eyes to block out the mid-day sun
You really can’t remember how this crazy race begun
And time like a thief seems to slip right through your fingers
There once was a boy that lived from day to day
That used to enjoy the journey on the way

So fix your eyes toward the light
Put your feet back on the ground
Wipe the dust off from your clothes
There’s no need to turn around
As the days stretch before your eyes
What is lost can still be found
The path we walk is seldom neat
There may always be a taste of bittersweet

The air you long to breathe was just too high and rarified
The shadows of the past keep haunting you
Keep on tearing you up inside
Be released like a bird
As you learn to forgive yourself again
There once was a boy that dreamt that he could fly
But it was simple trust and child-like faith
That kept him falling from the sky

So fix your eyes toward the light
Put your feet back on the ground
Wipe the dust off from your clothes
There’s no need to turn around
As the days stretch out before your eyes
What is lost can still be found
The path we walk is seldom neat
There may always be a taste of bittersweet

Geoff Kerr Melbourne, Australia

I gained a love for song/writing and recording from the age of 12. My brother and I would spend hours writing and recording our songs on whatever we had available. Growing up I was in various bands playing either guitar or drums while singing. I got hooked on multi-track recording after buying a 4-track reel-to-reel, mixer and other equipment in my 20's. I have continued this journey ever-since :) ... more
