Notes: I'm easing into the new year with an easy little mountain folk tune. I've been up in some mountains lately, so this felt like just the thing. The guitar part moves around and feels as old as the land. The lyrics speak to the change in the calendar, the change in the wind, the change we hope to see around a within us, and the steadiness with which we should hold to the folks we love. Those we love are, of course, all in life that truly matters.
lyrics
Wake me when we're there
Dreaming unaware
All of me cast to the wind
All of us searching within
All of us
All of us searching within
Wake to the first of the year
Hold your dear ones near
Enough with pondering why
Speak your voice to the sky
Speak your
Speak your voice to the sky
