The Breeze / Original song (acoustic)

Описание: An original song about learning to understand, forgive, love, and care for myself.

To me, the breeze is something that you can't see, but you can see the effects of it ("Shaking branches in the trees"). It's empathy, it's passion, it's love, it's freedom. It's everything that makes you feel good to be alive. I can feel the breeze much stronger than I ever could before, and this song is about how transformative the experience has been for me, but it's also somewhat about grieving the person I was growing up and understanding him, learning to forgive him for his mistakes.

This is probably the most personal and emotional song that I've written so far. I hope you enjoy :)

++ Lyrics ++
He was taught a certain way
He thought he knew how he should feel
But he was always playing safe
Terrified of the wheel

The boy I was was never enough
I'm proud to see he's growing up

'Cause he never felt like this
Wasn't equipped to fix
Constantly scared to try
Heaven forbid he might

Not be the best
Might not succeed
Waste too much time
Living for free

I looked right through
What I couldn't see
Now it just feels good to feel
I broke the rules
And now I can feel the breeze

Shaking branches in the trees
Bringing life and death
They're of no more use to me
These walls around myself

'Cause it brings change, and though I can't see
What's in store, I'm ready to be

'Cause I've never felt like this
Wanting to try everything
I'm not so scared to try
Well aware that I might

Not be the best
Might not succeed
But it's not about
What you can't be

It's all made up
No single truth
Now it just feels so good to feel
It feels alright
Now I can feel the breeze
