. . .for the past few years. But recently, finding myself in a dry spell, I’ve taken some of that pressure off. Lately I’m just trying to write whatever comes out. I’m having fun and it’s helping me work through feelings, frustrations, fears, etc. In fact, it strikes me that this must be what David felt like. No holds barred. Lettin’ ‘er rip, if you will.
Here’s a bit that I wrote today. Maybe I can post a link once it’s recorded. . .
Chasing the Daylight (thanks Erwin!)
Wasting the daylight
Hiding from your fears
Abandoning your dreams
Wasting the daylight
Oh, you used to be alive
Oh, you can come alive again
Let’s chase the daylight
Staring down our fears
Embracing our dreams
Chasing the daylight
Oh, I used to be alive
Oh, I want to come alive again
Oh, I used to be alive
Oh, I want to come alive again
Abundant life
What’s the meaning?
Abundant life
Is there some for me?
Oh, I used to be alive
Oh, I want to come alive again
Oh, I used to be alive
Oh, I want to come alive again

thanks, alex. Yeah, I’ve debated the abundant life part. But there is an honest question in there - (”what does it mean?”). I’ll keep wrestling with that. Thanks for the feedback…….skc
