lyrics

retracing lightly
these meridians in my mind
if i ain’t learning well then
guess I’m already dying
seen my best friends
struggle to stay alive
one day I’m in the clouds
the next I’m fighting for my life

I find the answers
in the prayers I’ve been manifesting
every day the sun is shining somewhere
guess I’m over-guessing
(there’s) something about an overcast sky 3x
whoa whoa whoa

without hope for the future
there is no present tense
been sellin all these words
with quiet confidence
I know we’re worth it
and still I’m on this fence
do I jump off, over, under
and does it make a difference

cause wounds are just a call
for deeper stronger understanding
lately I been living by the sea
tide straight to the sunset
something bout an overcast sky 3x
whoa whoa whoa

I’ll open all my doors
to those who are in need
but I’ll close off my channels
and guard this sacred energy
rise from the ashes
of all these fallen trees
reborn a new man
what will be will be will be

I find the answers
in the prayers I’ve been manifesting
every day the sun is shining somewhere
guess I’m over-guessing
cause wounds are just a call
for deeper stronger understanding
lately I been living by the sea
tide straight to the sunset
something bout an overcast sky 3x
whoa whoa

without hope for the future
there is no present tense…
