about

The second single from the new album, Beyond the Borders. New album releases 11/18/22.

lyrics

I was alone
with a heart that couldn’t feel
lulled to sleep for fear of pain
then you came and
you shattered that bleak world
a desert sky filled with rain

there’s a song we’re singing
like the river’s flowing
like the grass is growing
like the wind is blowing

on an island
way out in the sea
a volcano rains its fire
every step of this path
that we’re walking
a fertile plain of desire

there’s a song we’re singing
like the river’s flowing
like the grass is growing
like the wind is blowing

never thought
I’d see you in the light
of a warm and brilliant sun
in your arms is
the promise of music
a joyful dance just begun

there’s a song we’re singing
like the river’s flowing
like the grass is growing
like the wind is blowing
