Sand In My Soul
Wandering Souls: Embracing Distance and Finding Home
Lyrics
Tears streaming down her face as I kiss momma goodbye
Tears flow as I bid farewell to my mother with a kiss.
I tell her see you soon, please don't make me cry
I reassure her, asking not to make me cry and promise a soon return.
Hop in my beat up truck and put it in drive
Getting into my worn-out truck, I start driving away.
I won't be seeing this town for a while
I won't be back in this town for an extended period.
Street lights fly by me like old memories
Street lights pass swiftly, reminiscent of old memories.
Of summer sunsets, bonfire melodies
Recalling summer sunsets and bonfire melodies.
And even when I'm a thousand miles away and I'm feeling all alone
Even when I'm far away and feeling lonely, I still feel connected.
I still feel right at home
Despite the distance, I feel at home.
Cause I've got salt in my veins
My connection to the sea is deep; it's part of who I am.
And sand in my soul
My soul carries the essence of sand.
Waves on my mind
Thoughts of waves occupy my mind.
Cool breeze in my bones
A refreshing breeze resonates within me.
And when I'm lost
During times of confusion, I remember where I belong.
And I don't know where to go
Even in uncertainty, I find comfort in knowing my place.
Oh I know, I'm right where I belong
I'm certain I belong in my current situation.
Cause I've got sand in my soul
The sand in my soul defines my sense of belonging.
In my soul
Reiteration of the profound connection to the sea within.
The skies open up, and bring the rain
The sky opens up, rain falls heavily outside.
Beating down heavy outside my windowpane
The external weather contrasts with my internal imagery.
But in my head I'm right there
In my thoughts, I am present by the sea.
Right by the sea
Imagining the sun shining down on me by the water.
With the sun shining down on me
The mental escape to a comforting seaside scenario.
Cause I've got salt in my veins
The salt in my veins signifies my deep connection to the sea.
And sand in my soul
Reiteration of the sand in my soul as a defining aspect.
Waves on my mind
Continued thoughts of waves occupy my mind.
Cool breeze in my bones
A cool breeze is metaphorically felt within my bones.
And when I'm lost
During moments of confusion, I hold on to my coastal essence.
And I don't know where to go
Uncertain about the path, I find solace in my sense of belonging.
Oh I know, I'm right where I belong
Even in the midst of uncertainty, I recognize my place.
Cause I've got sand
Emphasizing the significance of sand in my soul.
In my soul
Reiteration of the deep connection embodied in my soul.
In my soul
Further emphasis on the profound connection within.
It's in my soul
A declarative statement emphasizing the internal essence.
It's in my soul
Reiteration of the internal essence within.
Cause I've got salt in my veins
Restating the presence of salt in my veins and sand in my soul.
And sand in my soul
Reaffirmation of the coastal elements defining my being.
Waves on my mind
Continued thoughts of waves occupy my mind.
Cool breeze in my bones
A cool breeze is metaphorically felt within my bones.
And when I'm lost
During moments of confusion, I hold on to my coastal essence.
And I don't know where to go
Uncertain about the path, I find solace in my sense of belonging.
Oh I know, I'm right where I belong
Even in the midst of uncertainty, I recognize my place.
Cause I've got sand
Emphasizing the significance of sand in my soul.
Oh I got sand
Reiteration of the deep connection embodied in my soul.
Yeh I got sand
Expressing the tangible presence of sand within.
In my soul
Confirming the enduring essence of sand in my soul.
In my soul
Reaffirm
