A song about persevering through tough times. Recorded in the sanctuary of Zion United Church using ADAT multi-track digital recorder. Special thanks to Jeff Mifflin for bringing the studio out to me for a change. Was fun to record in a church.
acoustic singer songwriter
Story behind the song
Persevering. Life isn't easy and no matter what we do the world keeps on turning.
Lyrics
Mist rises off the water
A new day is born
The hands of time keep moving on
The sunlight that surrounds me
Contains a certain warmth
The hands of time keep moving on
And I dont know why things happen
The way they happen
And I dont know why things turn out
The way they do
On the road to a seemingly unknown destination
Its a lifetime full of changes
And I dont want to give up
On the chance to see them through
Off out in the distance
A lonely hawk soars
The hands of time keep moving on
The spark that lights the fire
The note that starts the song
The hands of time keep moving on
And I dont know why things happen
The way they happen
And I dont know why things turn out
The way they do
On the road to a seemingly unknown destination
Its a lifetime full of changes
And I dont want to give up
On the chance to see them through
