Such a Lonely Place.

I was driving up the canyon around the lake, something I get to do quite often. Usually it's late at night after school downtown or just coming back from playing down in the valley. During the drive I get to thinking. Usually about life, mine in particular. Where I want it to go, or where I am & what I can do to get it to where I want etc. Of course I've got the tunes going. Of course I had another music speaks to heart moment where the song sings my thoughts and feelings. This time it was this one:

Skyline-Court Yard Hounds

What am I doin' here
In such a lonely place?
Birds fly below
I'm high up in my cage

Wide awake again
Or am I dreamin'?
Trains passing by
World's spinning 'round my head

Then I heard a sweet voice cry
Telling me, yeah it's gonna be alright

I just look at the skyline
A million lights are lookin' back at me
And when they shine
I see a place I know I'll find some peace
I just look at the skyline

I used to rush around
To keep busy in the day
Then we'd sit up and drink
We might find something new to say
No, I can't live this way…

But then I heard that sweet voice cry
Telling me, yeah it's gonna be alright

I just look at the skyline
A million lights are lookin' back at me
And when they shine
I see a place I know I'll find some peace
I just look at the skyline

I look at the skyline
A million lights are lookin' back at me
And when they shine
I see a place I know I'll find some peace
I just look at the skyline

What am I doin' here
In such a lonely place?

A lot of times as humans we have those moments where we ask, "What am I even doing here?" or "How is this my life?". Its great to be reminded and feel that everything is going to be alright. Just go and do your best. Look at the skyline, you'll find some peace. I know I did.

Take the time to slow down. Ponder what really matters. Its easy to forget.
