This is a calm reflection of feeling lost and longing to return to understanding and normalcy, expressed by being lost in a cloud, wanting to return to Earth. It was inspired by more "traditional" folk music, like Mull of Kintyre. It features instruments like an organ, ocarina and banjo!
Floating away
I watch as the ground starts to leave my view
Still feel there’s nothing that I could do
It’s true
Hear what I say
I’m trying to call you but you’re too far
Look up above, see I’m near the stars
There we are
To sing it out loud
Let them all know if I need a hand
Still trying to feel as though I can stand
I walk through a cloud
Hoping there’s someone who’ll look for me
I can’t be sure where I’m supposed to be
Still in this moment I’ve found
I long for my feet on the ground
To feel my sole
Wondering too far to get back home
Wish to still feel good when I’m all alone
As I’ve grown
Emptiest hole
Nothing I feel tells me I’m alive
Jumping in, not knowing where I dive
Long to strive
To sing it out loud
Trying to pull me back to the ground
Nothing to get me there, I have found
I walk through a cloud
Hope I don’t have to keep walking through
For now there’s nothing left I can do
Still in this moment I’ve found
I long for my feet on the ground
To have more time
Waiting alone feels like slowing down
Sinking in, feeling like I could drown
Far from ground
Feeling of mine
Too many that feel like I’ll fall apart
At least let me know that I have my heart
Have from the start
To sing it out loud
I’m learning to understand how I feel
All that I’ve known I now know is real
I fall through a cloud
I can’t see two steps in front of me
Yet I know this is where I’m supposed to be
Still for this moment I’ve found
I long for my feet on the ground
But I know if I’m far from the crowd
I at least watch the world go round
