Description

Picture traveling through a tunnel and as you travel there are pictures going by that represent events as they occur in your life and pass by to become memories. The images begin slowly but over time go by faster and faster and faster until finally you burst through the end into a bright light and when your eyes adjust you find yourself on a sailboat sailing away from the shore toward an unknown destination, but all your worries and fears have disappeared and you can silently reflect on what has happened and if you have tried to be a good person than a feeling of pure peace will be your reward as you become one with the light. But if you have been selfish or dishonest and mistreated other living things, you cannot find peace and are part of the darkness forever.

Bio

Bass player, songwriter, troubadour, animal lover-environmentalist. Producing original music under the name Six Of One

Lyrics

Full Sail and far as the eye can see
On and on the waves keep calling out to me
Calling out tome
Calling out to me
But I’m lost in this world
Where nothing seems to matter
So here am I
Racing tides
The raging fires I feel…subside
The more I turn away
Like from something I remembered once
In another time.
Visiting hours,
Don’t make them wait too long.
Saing goodbye gets lost in all the chatter…
It’s the hardest thing to say.
Hardest thing to say
Hardest thing to sy,
Good luck…it’s ok,
The atoms all just scatter.
So here am I
Just space and time
And the only thing I have to offer is
Nothing else to say.
So let it go,
The good will be remembered.
Facing the wind,
Watching the bowsprit sway.
And drifting off
No cares no worries.
Your fears all wash away.
Fears all wash away,
Fears all wash away
And those tears,
Cried today
Can grow the peace some find awaiting.
Then here am I
Faceless child,
Breathless, laughing
Reconciled…
To live my life my way,
Happily ever after.
