This week’s Wordy Wednesday is a song I wrote for some friends going through a tough time right now. (Note: I was sick when I recorded the video of it, so my voice is kind of dying during it, but it gives you an idea of what it sounds like.)

Lyrics:
**********
VERSE 1 [C, Em, Am, G]
Hey there, all the way across the sea
I’m thinking of you thinking of me
Sisters in this land of damaged hands
And I am walking across quicksand
Knowing only you could understand
The words I feel the need to say
TRANSITION 1 [Em, Am, C, G]
Like you are going to be okay
This doesn’t have to end this way
CHORUS [C, Em, Am, G]
It’s just a matter of time
’Til you see the sunrise, and
This night will go away
They say it’s darkest before the day
It’s just a matter of time
Before your bruises fade to scars
And that smile will be there
As visible as the stars
Saving you, saving you
Saving you, saving me
Across the sea
VERSE2
Hey there, you’re all alone
At the top of the world
The air’s so thin you feel
Like falling down
And I am here waiting
To catch you on the ground
A parachute between us,
It can carry you
Safely down
TRANSITION 2 [Em, Am, C, G]
There’s no need to be afraid
You are going to find your way
[Repeat CHORUS]
BRIDGE [Em, Am, C, G]
And I know he scares you,
But leaving scares you more
And I know it’s easier
To touch the window than open the door
But this is for your own good,
Moving on like melting snow
It doesn’t mean forgetting,
It means letting go
[Repeat CHORUS]
