Lyrics
In waves of people you can lose your feet
In the midst of crowds, it's easy to lose your direction.
You've got to stay hard, to the ground
Stay grounded and resilient despite challenges.
It gets so easy now to lose your way
Navigating life can be confusing and lead you astray.
When you're ever outward bound
Especially when embarking on new journeys.
A church bell ringing in the fading light
A church bell tolling as daylight fades.
Stops you dead like a cold steel wall
It can stop you abruptly, like a solid barrier.
The ghost of yesteryear's is toughing you
The past is haunting and affecting you.
And as sure as God you'll fall
A certainty that challenges will come.
And I see me and I see you
Reflection on oneself and others.
I see it all just like it used to be
Observing life as it once was.
And all the reasons why it started out
Recalling the initial reasons for actions.
Hit you hard with every bell
The impact is profound, hitting you intensely.
The choir practice in the empty hall
Choir practice in an empty hall, a familiar sound.
Is a sound that you know so well
Echoes of a known melody.
Like something lost inside your overcoat
Something precious misplaced within.
You find it later, by mistake
Rediscovering it accidentally later.
You lost it all a thousand years ago
Loss experienced long ago.
And you pray it's not too late
Hoping it's not too late to recover.
And I see me and I see you
Continued introspection of oneself and others.
I see it all just like it used to be
Observing life reminiscent of the past.
And I see me and I see you
Reflecting on self and others again.
I see it all just like a diary
Life unfolding like the pages of a diary.
Now I remember everything
Recollection of all experiences.
Yea I remember how it used to be
Remembering how things used to be.
With every note that choirboy sings
The impact of each note sung by a choirboy.
And I see me and I see you
Continued reflection on oneself and others.
I see it all just like it used to be
Observing life as it once was, akin to a diary.
