Story Behind The Song
Traveling by foot along the Camino De Santiago.. observing humanity and seeking answers as we walked west every day.
Song Description
This song is about liberation, finding peace and hope in a crazy and confusing world. It's a recognition that we all have challenges on our way to reaching our goals, and that the answers are out there if we allow ourselves to be receptive to them. It was written on the Camino De Santiago in Spain during a 500 mile pilgrimage. The lyrics and chords literally were created while hiking with a pack and ukulele. The path goes west everyday...hence the name Somewhere Behind The Sun.

Lyrics
Let this wine calm my nerves
Let this smoke carry my heavy load
This is one big scary world
We got no place better to go
Let my dreams take me out to sea
Let my heart guide me home
This is one big wild world
Sometimes all you can do is run
Who's got you under their thumb
Who has bought and sold your bones
How are we gonna get out of this one
The answers are there for you
Somewhere behind the sun
Take me somewhere
Somewhere behind the sun
I believe there is something big that is on the way
That will unite us & bring peace to all the nations
Like a beacon in the night it shines for you & me
Makes me wanna sing yeah yeah yeah
Come on feel it inside
Hold up your hands & sing yeah yeah yeah
Know what I mean
Hold up your hands & sing yeah yeah yeah
Oh I believe in you - It's what I want to do
Tell me do you believe in me
Tell me who's got you under their thumb
Who has bought and sold all your bones How are we gonna get out of this one
The answers are there for you
Somewhere behind the sun
Take me somewhere
Somewhere behind the sun
