CARRIE NEWCOMER A small Flashlight

Album : " Before & After " , ( 2010 )

The way is dark up ahead of me.
The way is dark and I cannot see.
What I love the most is a flashlight beam,
Lighting up the way when I cannot see.
The way unfolds like an open hand.
The way unfolds like I didn't plan.
And only in looking back do we understand,
That the way was true as an open hand.
Over trials and trouble I've already come.
And the net appeared when I needed one.
Yes the road is dark and the ground is rough,
Most the time a flashlight has to be enough.
We move forward one step at a time,
Wide-eyed and hopeful, lost and half blind,
Mistake by mistake, we all learn to be kind.
There is so much to see and to realize,
If I could close my mouth and open up my eyes
And the world will tell us more than enough lies.
But we'll find our way with a small flashlight.

Carrie's music is life-changing. Stunning, beautiful, meaningful, thought-provoking, relevant, humorous, calming, inspiring. I could go on and on, but it's best just to listen.

Another slice of beautiful music from Ms Newcomer. Never ceases to amaze me. You're voice Carrie is never too far from my ears. You are to be admired.
