about

An optimistic ending. Is the person here singing here about their partner or their self...? I'll leave you to decide. There's a Detroit influence here again, and there certainly was when writing, the harmonies suggested one of Marvin and Tammi's duets, but in terms of the arrangement I wanted to pull out all the stops to make this a Bernard Butler sounding arrangement. An uplifting end to the story.

lyrics

You’re clear in your mind, it’s a vision,
The past is behind, just illusion.
There’s nothing you’ve said, or thought
That keeps you tied to any one thing.
It’s all in your head, all reasoned,
Your ghosts laid to rest, all seasons
Pass by the way, all caught
In a wheel of fortune made for yourself.

You don’t need to cry when you wake from the fall,
You don’t need to hide, just answer the call,
You don’t need to speak when all has been said,
You just find the light in your heart and shine it.

You’re lifting it up, you’re a tower,
You’re shaking it up, you’re the power,
So time to make sweet from the sour,
You’re every moment, every hour, you’re everything.

Your soul is a state, it’s an empire
You heart is the gate past the wire
You placed to protect from those,
Who’d steal the treasure hidden within.
You’ve broken the line, you’ve torn,
The map of your life, you’re reborn ,
You’ve redrawn the line between,
Your heart and soul from all that you’ve seen.

You don’t need to cry when you wake from the fall,
You don’t need to hide, just answer the call,
You don’t need to speak when all has been said,
You just find the light in your heart and shine it.

You’re lifting it up, you’re a tower,
You’re shaking it up, you’re the power,
So time to make sweet from the sour,
You’re every moment, every hour, you’re everything.

Every time you reached for the brakes;
Every missed line and every mistake;
Every risk you could ever take;
Tear up the rule book and burn the pages.

You’re lifting it up, you’re a tower,
You’re shaking it up, you’re the power,
So time to make sweet from the sour,
You’re every moment, every hour, you’re everything.
