today i had an entire day just to create something, so i created this. you may be wondering what that beautiful sound in the background is? that’s an accordion, friends. an accordion. 🙂

enjoy!

look out, heart

(verse 1)
it’s touch and go
it’s touch and go
do we ever get to land
that’s not been overthrown

the mighty fall
the mighty fall
i got strong then scraped my knee
dirt’s in us all

(bridge)
this new heart
is but a look-out for the things
i’ve only known in part
so look out, heart

(chorus)
we can see for miles and miles across the plains
where wild flatlands dance and the wicked winds sing rain
but it’s been buried deep below these fields of grain
and it’s straining to get out, to grow a tree for it’s new name 

(verse 2)
it’s treasure found
it’s treasure found
but we gotta dig with love
as we’re going down

these resting birds
these resting birds
don’t know they’ve been resting
on a growing word

(bridge)
this new heart
is but a look-out for the things
i’ve only known in part
so look out, heart
