Lyrics

I’ve been told to aim high, so I’ll increase my chances
Of finding myself in the right circumstances
Hope that I’m leaving enough of an impact
To pierce through the veil

But the moon is a blur and the stars are sporadic
I aim and I fire but there’s always a panic
That I’ll end up defeated, drained and depleted,
Stubborn & stale

But when I kick my heels off the ground, I lose myself in the sound
Of the music of life, and all I can say in a song
Tunnels can blind us and panic divides us
But patience and persistence will guide us to where we belong

If life is a circus, I’m the clown at the centre
I laugh off my pain as I lose all my splendour
I keep on performing, perfecting my pratfalls with humour and grace

When I try to sound simple, it comes out pretentious
Dividing the crowd ‘till there’s no clear consensus
If I’m old or I’m new; Am I folk? Am I blues?
What’s my time, what’s my place?

But if I don’t make myself heard, no-one will remember a word
You can’t make an impact by being reserved or withdrawn
Tunnels can blind us and panic divides us
But patience and persistence will guide us to where we belong

The journey can pass you by
When you’re focused on the wrong destination
And it keeps moving further away

You can always go back to the nest
But right now you’ve got to keep flying
Expanding your wings every day

Well I often forget to make time
To forgive myself and take pride
In all I’ve accomplished, As I look back on where I came from
Tunnels can blind us and panic divides us
But patience and persistence will guide us to where we belong

I’m right where I belong
