Restless Heart (Shas original)

For people in difficult situations everywhere-
there is always hope, always tomorrow,
and always a path to joy, if we can find it.

Restless Heart
Copyright 2009 by Shas Cho

A small town girl with dreams of love,
blue-jean eyes and a heart above the crowd.
She's true and strong, but life's a toll road
dreams die hard, it tears her soul apart.
She can't go on and she can't go back
she needs to move, leave the past behind.
Free to start her life again
but this ain't how, this ain't when she'd hoped...
when she'd hoped.

Work is hard, her pay is small
freedom's dear but that ain't all she needs.
No one to share the bills and chores,
no one to fill the house with noise and song.

Water, sun and Spirit call
she grabs her gear, heads out for it all
On the road to anywhere
her Sportster sings, she starts to dream again.

Chase the sun where the river winds
sorrow's left in the miles that lie behind ...
that lie behind.
New places, friends, and dreams to hold
she rides until her heart's aglow with love.
The healing's real, the magic's deep
wind in her hair is a joy that keeps her soul...
that keeps her soul,
keeps her whole.

[finkylinky]

really nice. please may i ask what ukulele you play? Thank you.

[shas1814]

Sure.

Thanks for stopping by.

I play a $50 "Classic" from empire-music (dot)com.

[keonepax]

Another great song! I like the rhyming scheme.

Expensive looking mic!

[shas1814]

Thanks, keonepax.

The mic is a Samsom G-Track.

It's glitchy, but very cool,

it's a USB mic with a mixer and monitor included

(the uke and headphones both plug into it)

for $150 from Apple.

My favourite balled so far Shas. I love your songs my friend, and it appears I'm not the only fan of yours.

Peace
