This was one of those compositions that happened in half an hour - music and lyric. Creativity is an amazing force!

Lyric:

The heights I aspire to
seem fragile in this godless world
they dance before me, cry before me
demanding my allegiance… stubbornly…

yet I know far beyond the mind
the space is vast, etherial
the music in my blood confides that this is true

the echoes linger on through quiet days and night
I hear them speak to me
alongside duty’s call
they tell me that I could be free… to see the light
that quiet melody is always there… listen…

Solo…

If there’s hope in my tired words
let me be that sacred song I long to hear…
hear, hear… listen…

As long as this journey seems
and as far as I can walk
I’ll follow that infinite song to timelessness

the echoes linger on through quiet days… and nights and days
I hear that sweet refrain… cut through pleasure’s call
They tell me that I could be free…
to see the way… to him (the inner child)
