I first wrote the bass line to this song while with a band I was in. After leaving the band I was able to write a song to go with the bass line. Then when my wife joined in the fun, we put our heads together and expanded on it.

Sitting beside this rivers bank
I look to the sky and I start to think
Staring towards that setting sun
I see the earth and clouds merged into one
All the colors seem intertwined
Just a few more minutes here and I'll be fine
The horizon dreams of better days
Where the child inside me always plays

Chorus:
We know not just who we are
We just long to clearly see
Life will take us near and far
But as the wind we must be free

Looking out amongst the sea
I see the person I was meant to be
But as unexpected as the wave
Fate lends a hand and I start to cave
Everyday I feel the strain
Of a life I'm forced to live in vain
Nothing makes sense to me anymore
It's like nothing I've ever felt before

Standing here oh how I long to be
A part of the heavens I hear calling to me
To receive all I hope to find
Not like this world that I'm leaving behind
Brought to my knees by a savage race
The struggle to live but I'm in last place
So now I put my faith to the ultimate test
I close my eyes and hope for the best

As I'm taken to the sky
I look around and I wonder why
People come and people go
Who am I? I just don't know
