One Hand Clapping -- Brian Gore (GEMA PUBLISHING)

I’ve amplified life’s minor irritations
Blinking at a light that’s red too long
Magnified into fake limitations
Forced left then right when I when I want straight along

Time pulls me sideways
Instead of a leg up I’m knocked around
That’s ok with me
That’s the place to be
When I’m guided by the sound

The drive for monetary satiation 
Kept me on the outside hanging on
But being with the people happy shiny
Didn’t bring me happiness for long

I am proud I “did it my way”
But those aren’t the words 
I’m singing in this song
The periphery 
Is ok with me when I’m guided by the sound

There’s light at the end of Lincoln’s tunnel
Disguising dew from rising morning’s sun
Ushered by the quiet squirrel’s rustling
Against the urban backdrop of the throng

It was the life that passed right by me
While I was waiting that I’ve missed so far along
It’s a seagull’s cry 
It’s a baby’s sigh
Now I’m guided by the sound

Bridge 

Overdrive turned me crazy
Now temptation of the moment keeps me sane
I live inside out
I am turned about
I have turned my life around
That’s ok with me
That’s the place to be
I am guided by the sound

I loved it! What a cool tune. The guitar part is so simple but really expressive, and Jenna, your voice is beautiful! Reminiscent of Natalie Merchant, that's a good thing.
