One day soon

about

Time brings with it increasing complexities. The adult is a complicated being. So naturally one yearns to experience simplicity like the child in the park, who dances, and draws, and writes, with open fields before them. This is the freedom I am chasing.

lyrics

Now I have the time to sit and watch my days roll by
I feel like I can finally call it mine
And when I taste the morning light I feel it in my heart
And like the mist my woes will soon depart

I step out through the old back door
It creeks of memories past
I turn to see the wattle bloom at last
And though my time has come and gone I won't have no regrets
I'll sing as I prune back the hedge instead

All my life I've been chasing you
And all I know is that it was worth it to
There's something more than all the things we do
I know you'll find it out one day soon

I take a breath and stare into the hands that raised this land
The hands that raise my boy to be a man
And my ears hear the sound so sweet that calls me back inside
For sixty years she's never left my side

And all these thoughts pass through my mind
Of all that's good to taste and age old wine
These things and so much more I'm sure I'll find
In that big old homestead in the sky
