Helllllo friends!
Here’s a song I wrote last month in Argentina about surrendering our own plans for something better.

White knuckles, red eyes
All the dreams you held inside
Where to go, He says no
Heart’s desires on a wire
A steep slope with flat tires
Where to go, He says no
Open hands are hard, but darling they are lighter
Falling past the fear will only bring us higher
Pink sunsets, wide eyes
Early mornings cold goodbyes
Where to go, He says no
Windshield wipers repeat their song
Fourteen hours, the drive is long
Where to go, He says no
Whatcha gonna think when everything is brighter
Who you gonna be when everything is lighter
The grass is greener on the other side
Unpack the chest of wasted time
The great unknown, He brought you home
He wipes each tear falling from your eye
The shelf of what-ifs and who-am-i’s
You let it go, He calls you known
How your heart will sing kindled with His fire
Everything is clean, a slate that can’t be whiter
Tell me how it feels now that everything is lighter…
