Journey

Journey

Once upon a time, in a land far away, (the beautifully mountain encased Utah,) there lived a young woman with hopes as high as the sky and dreams as deep as the deep blue sea. She had recently left her home and everything she once believed behind to commence a soulful journey to sunny San Diego, CA.
Her childhood fantasies of living a life as a musician called to her upon a great awakening of her spirit and mind and she packed her clothes, guitars, Labrador and Tabby into her mini SUV and headed down the 15 towards hope for a brighter tomorrow.
As soon as she arrived, she quickly established herself amongst other singer/songwriters who helped inspire and expand her writing capabilities by example and by participating in songwriting games and showcases.
Sometime in that first year, she'll not soon forget spending her last $10 on a CD called "Daydreaming At Night" by songwriter extraordinaire and a local celebrity, named Gregory Page.
After delving into the intricate folds of lyrical sensibility, elaborate French persuasion and "old-timey" folk that made up a world of familiar, yet new sounds to her enjoyment, she sat down at her piano and wrote "Journey."
Longing for a simpler time and originally written as a duet, the lyrics of which are about the same young woman who felt rather stuck in the place she once thought she most longed to be and for the life of her, could not seem to figure out where to go or what to do next.

Journey

Start a new page
Everyday's a clean slate
I'm a hopeless romantic
In a day and an age
Where love's
But a fleeting moment
Passing by
Where do I
Fit in here?

Blue skies await
Inside I stay
Protect my fragile skin
Made of cellophane
Where the light
Might be too bright
For me to hide
Where do I
How do I
Go from here?

Journey take me far away
Far away to another place
Where my heart won't depreciate
Over time
Journey take me far away
Far away to another place
Where do I
How do I
Go from here?
Go from here

Crashing waves break
Reach and pull away
I'm standing on a cliff
It's time to take a leap of faith
Should I swim
Or am I strong
Enough to fly
Where do I
How do I
Go from here?

Journey take me far away
Far away to another place
Where my heart won't depreciate
Over time
Journey take me far away
Far away to another place
Where do I
How do I
Go from here?
Go from here
