Lyrics

It’s a crazy world that we live in
The tide comes and goes so fast
Right now, while I’m trying to be present
I’m still chasing shadows of my past

My father was born in the islands
My mom was born on the great turtle’s back
They prayed for me when I’d go out in the evening
At least that’s one of the rumours I’d hear
‘Round Christmas time spent with our family
Over hot totty sorrel and ginger beer

They did their best and they did it for freedom
They did everything they ever could for mе
We went to church evеry single Sunday
We’d get dressed up and then go to Granny’s place
I’d run around that house with my cousins
We loved to race

There is an abundance of hope that lies between the oceans of time
There’s nothing singular about it
Yet it can clearly be defined
Yet, it can be clearly defined


And I’m wide awake
I chalk it up to all of my mistakes
And all the heartache that I’ve had to face
And all the choices that I’ve had to make in my life

The greatest pictures are never taken
They’re all stored in your memory
Me and my mom
We use to go to Good Bites and talk philosophy
We’d sit there just talking for hours
I once asked her
Why are good memories so heavy
She simply said
Aren’t we lucky

And I’m wide awake
I chalk it up to all of my mistakes
And all the heartache that I’ve had to face
And all the choices that I had to make in my life


Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah
Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah
Lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah-lah
Aren’t we lucky
Aren’t we lucky

There is an abundance of hope that lies between the oceans of time
There’s nothing singular about it
Yet it can clearly be defined
Yet, it can be clearly defined

And I’m wide awake
I chalk it up to all of my mistakes
And all the choices that I’ve had to make
And all the heartache that I’ve had to face in this life
