I wrote this song when I first moved to Santa Cruz in 2019 to pursue my dream of being a professional musician, singer, and song writer. I wrote this song in the Santa Cruz mountains looking out the window of the loft in my cabin under the redwoods, wondering about what my life would be like if my dreams never took the backseat... if instead of meaningless distractions I started putting my words into action.... this song seemed to magically write itself, and it is one that I hold near and dear to my heart. I think this song is relatable to anybody with a dream, but especially other independent artists will relate to this song.
Lyrics
vs. 1.
what if my dreams never took the backseat
would my life then feel complete
what if instead of meaningless distractions
I started putting my words to actions
cs. 1
would the guilt still eat me up inside
oh after all this time
I can't decide which is worse
regret or rejection
vs. 2
I've been waiting so long
I haven't had my song
shared quite like this before
but like a man with no alibi
I'm caught red handed
and I have no more excuses unleashing my truth and my destiny I now command it
Vs. 3
What if I smiled to everyone I meet?
What if I kept my feet dipping into lakes of expansion?
What if I cleared my mind?
Would I come to find that the soul would have a chain reaction?
Would the words suddenly come to mind?
Followed by sounds that speak in time?
Oh would it be so divine?
cs. 2
Or would the guilt still eat me up inside
oh after all this time
I can't decide which is worse
regret or rejection
well I don't know, but I'll have to make a decision
