Renaissance

Verse 1

Been lost for a while, castaway, all at sea

An unsuspecting pilgrim in a changed reality

The unseen wind of fate, blew me from my course

Onto new horizons, yielding to its force

Beyond the voice of ego an old companion I did find

Whose wisdom long forgotten, lost in my cluttered mind

For a year of seasons we’d laugh, weep, reminisce

Clutched from claws of fear, into a state of bliss

Verse 2

This unexpected journey, what lessons have I learned?

Some things we should treasure, some bridges should be burned

Unknown is the morrow, be present in the now

Time we cannot borrow, be careful what you vow 

Beware sweet siren voices, temptation power lust

A forever feast of choices that always decay to dust

In a mirror maze of illusion, wandering lost and blind

The truth is very simple, we just make it hard to find

Verse 3

Fictions I created, anchor chains of the past

Fears for a future, time has yet to cast

Joy in simple pleasures, painful self-inflicted blow

What you reap in measures, be mindful what you sow

We are all in different dreams, mine is not to judge

Seldom things are what they seem, let go of a grudge

There is peace in meditation, turn down the volume dial

Seek rest oh weary soul, never forget your smile
