Lyrics

Watch the weight of the wind blow

Observing the force of the wind

Watchin faces out my window

Watching people's expressions from my window


To the people on they grind

Acknowledging those working hard

To the country out it's mind half grins

Referring to a country in a confused state

Half spun like a dreidel

Describing a spinning motion like a dreidel

No middle to my know how

No central understanding in my knowledge

Slow down for the show now

Advising to slow down for the performance

I'd rather be alone than explain how

Prefer solitude over explaining

Wake up and walk out take up and take out

Encouraging waking up and taking action

Shake up and shake out

Encouraging change and transformation

My demons waitin on every corner just

Acknowledging inner struggles at every corner

To pull me down they follow me around

Personal demons trying to bring one down

They're in my blood as the leaves hit the

Symbolizing challenges in one's heritage

Ground and the wind from the willow

Using the wind as a shield

My only shield is the sound

Music serves as a protective barrier

My feelings release in these sounds

Emotions find release through music

Get free in these sounds

Finding freedom in the sounds

Let it bleed in these sounds

Allowing emotions to flow through the music

In these verbs in these nouns

Expressing through verbs and nouns

In these words build a boat

Building resilience through words

Take me though stormy seas till my

Seeking guidance through challenges

Feet hit the ground hit the ground running

Starting a journey with determination

Hit the town humming

Entering a city with positive energy

Ancient melodies come back to me now

Reconnecting with ancient melodies

Come back to me now

-

Ancient melodies come back to me now

-

Come back stop and ask the question

Posing a significant question

Like Nachman I loose the vision

Referencing a loss of vision like Nachman

Enter to the fog

Entering a state of uncertainty

Driving down this mountain to the ocean

Descending from a mountain to the ocean

Floor where you've never gone before

Exploring uncharted territories

Open up the door to a room you've

Opening a door to neglected aspects

Chosen to ignore swimming in a ocean of fear

Overcoming fears and uncertainties

You've been swimming in an ocean of fear

-

Through the unknown and the unclear

-

Through the unknown and the unclear

Repeating the challenges of the unknown

Fear of ya life fear of ya knife

Various fears, including fear of life and knives

Cut open this tightly stitched world that

Encouraging examination and exploration

You made examine inside take up and take out

Advocating for change and transformation

Shake up and shake out

Shaking off negative vibes

Shake it off gotta shake up the vibe

-

You've been traveling the speed of light

Reflecting on a journey at the speed of light

You been searching

-

You been movin all of ya life

-

You been reaching

-

You been running out of sight

-

You been seeking disappearing into the light

-

Into the light you been taken to

-

Now ya digging up the grave stone

Breaking free from past constraints

Breaking up the glass house that

-

You craved for

-

Breaking up the paved road that you made

-

Entering the maze fear of the strange

-

Fear of the waves as they crash down

-

Once sung of a longing once felt

-

Like a trophy that you won and kept it

-

On the mantle time to dismantle

-

Get a handle takin off you sandals

-

Lighting up the candles

Embracing chaos and living in the moment

Now ya livin in shambles

-

Ramble on with the bros ramble on the pros

Overcoming challenges with determination

Cons can't hack it with my jacket

-

Causing a racket take a crack and crackle

-

Tackling competition with my mission

-

Livin with the vision or touch the moonlight

Aspiring to touch greatness like moonlight

Wake up and walk out take up and take out

Reiterating the need to take action

Shake up and shake out

-

Shake it off gotta shake up the vibe

-

Traveling at the speed of light

Continuing the theme of searching and moving

You been searching you been movin

-

All of ya life all of ya life all of ya life

-

You been traveling at the speed of light

-

You been searching you been movin

-

All of ya life all of ya life

-

All of ya life reaching

-

You been running you been seeking

-

Disappearing out of sight

-

All of ya life all of ya life

-

All of ya life you been searching

Summarizing a lifelong search and journey

You been moving all of your life

-

You've been reaching

-

You been running all of your life

-

You been seeking disappearing into the night

-

You been reaching

Emphasizing seeking and running into the night

You been running into the night

-

You've been searching

-

You've been moving all of your life

-

You've been reaching

Repeating the theme of seeking the light

You been running all of your life

-

You been searching you been movin

-

You been reaching you been running

-

You been seeking disappearing

-

Trying to step out into the light

-

Into the light into the light into the light

-

Trying to make your life feel right

-

Step out into the lightyou've been taken to

Finalizing the desire to step into the light
