Second Chance (Original)

Acoustic rock song about starting over again. Sort of spiritual and occultish, I guess.

"Watch the sea from a distance at night
As it climbs upon the shore,
And the stars look awfully bright
Will the sun not shine anymore?
Who is left to tend the sheep
And give the peasants bread?
I went down to the water last night
And the hungry ones were fed.

Seaside, have you ever tried
To remember the day that you were born?
Shoreline, barrier of time,
A flood of reason lies at your door.

I've been walking down by the beach
Where the strangest thing has occured,
Looking over the water at night
I have seen the ash of a bird.
Who had travelled far too long
On an ancient wind in the sun,
Felt the heat of a burning fire
And died but had only begun.

Rise and simply be renewed
Be the only thing my life will ever need,
Jesus, the phoenix has returned
And a soul that once was bound is ever freed.

Mountain stream through forest green
Carry me far far away,
To the place where the human race
Began and must begin again ..."

@THRILLAKILLA187 Cool! I saw your comment (I think) with your mates on "I'm Not in Love" so I thank you for poking around here and watching something else. You picked a really old (and long) song, too. Great to hear from you and get your feedback.

@Jean1juan I have been playing for a long time, on and off for almost 40 years. I was serious about it for a long time, then dropped it to do other things, now I'm back. Mostly taught myself but I did take lessons at the beginning, some basic, some jazz guitar. Tons of practice, many hours every day ... not that it shows anymore. Thanks for asking.
