Lyrics
Some days I forget how fortunate I am
Reflecting on being grateful for the opportunities despite challenges
To break my back on these six strings every day
Struggling and working hard on music daily
Though my teachers laughed and my fingers fail
Despite criticism and failures, there was encouragement to pursue dreams
You encouraged me to live out the dreams I have
Encouragement received to pursue personal dreams
When the stars align in the night's promise
Committing to finding a way forward when conditions are right
I resolve to find my way through the day
Determination to navigate through difficulties
Because you believe I'm more than I am
Belief from someone in the ability to achieve beyond current capabilities
I can still dream beyond the outline
Having aspirations beyond current limitations
Oh, the warmth of my blood
Feeling emotionally connected to someone
In the glow of your love and care
Feeling the love and support from someone
Oh, the breath of my lungs
Recognizing the importance of breath and life
Is a gift I cannot repay
Feeling indebted for the invaluable gift of life
Somewhere down the line
Recognizing a pivotal moment in the past
I saw you must've made yourself a promise
Sensing a commitment made by someone
To hold me loose but close enough
Allowing freedom yet providing support
For me to thrive in my own time
Creating an environment for personal growth
Were you ever scared or insecure?
Questioning if the person had fears or doubts
When I lost my way and I shut you out
Reflecting on a time of personal struggle and isolation
That they'd break my bones
Fear of physical or emotional harm to oneself
Or even worse
Concern about a worse outcome
That I'd lose my dreams
Fear of losing aspirations and enthusiasm
And my spirit dulled
Worry about losing enthusiasm or energy
I don't know how long I can swim the shoreless seas
Uncertainty about how long perseverance can last
When I'm too far gone, I know where to return to
Awareness of a place of comfort or refuge
It's always there
Consistency in support and care
Because you keep our lives full
Contributing significantly to each other's lives
All the gold is in your veins
Acknowledging preciousness or value
Though you never show off in any way
Modesty despite possessing admirable qualities
Everyone sees you radiate
Being a source of positivity and energy for others
Oh, the warmth of my blood
Feeling emotionally connected to someone
In the glow of your love and care
Feeling the love and support from someone
Oh, the breath of my lungs
Recognizing the importance of breath and life
Is a gift I cannot repay
Feeling indebted for the invaluable gift of life
