I wrote this song while sitting on the roof outside my kitchen window, looking at the sky and wishing I could remember to be "present" more often.

lyrics

I'm gonna stay by the light burning through
Gonna give something, gonna feel brand new
I've been searching stars at night

What if we were free of history
Take the lessons, leave behind the rest

Hoo....

I've been searching stars at night
Sinking, sailing, but still alright

What if we were free of history
Leave the lessons behind and just be?
We could, we could, we could...
