lyrics

I stand on the beach talking to the sea.
I got sky,
I got ocean:
That’s all I need.
The sounds of the waves send ripples through space.
No more pain,
No more heartache,
Only time and place.
My footprints wash away,
I’m free of yesterday again.

I’m lost in the woods but I’m not afraid.
Life is change,
Life is constant:
These are my days.
The trees are as real as concrete and stone.
We are wild,
We are human;
What more should I know?
When instinct leads the way,
I’m free of yesterday again.

Love, luck and honesty are all I seek these days today.

I’m happy enough just watching the stars.
I’m no saint,
I’m no sinner
But I’ve got heart.
Still lost in the woods and still not afraid.
There is rain,
There is sunshine.
Yes, these are my days.
Lie back and drift away,
I’m free of yesterday again.

These are my days.
