Story Behind The Song
My own restlessness, which removes me from the present moment (where I can be most effective), when I unwittingly let it.

Lyrics
Restless One
Oh, Restless One I see in your eyes the fire that just never dies.
Oh, aching heart it's hard to see the pain is there to guide you free.
I know it's hard to believe my song when the days just hurt and the nights are long.
But, even when I'm feeling blue, I can sense the hope and I know it's true.
Oh, dreaming one I hear you plead that it's hard to give when you have so much need.
But, I've heard it said and I know it's true that the love you give comes back to you.
I swear that there will come a time, if you do believe and you don't stop trying.
Love will make its way to you
if you give yourself, I know it's true.
And I know it's hard to just let go when you're not quite sure what's down below.
But, by now you've got to realize if you don't let go you will never rise.
If something seems a risk to try, the greater risk may be letting it pass you by.
Isn't it time to try something new, you will feel the growth, I know it's true.
