Song Description

This is the sister song to Hiding In Plain Sight. Looking back at a lost opportunity, and other paths not followed, wondering what life may have been like should these paths been taken.

Lyrics

A lonely spirit within the crowd
A whispered voice lost in the loudness
I saw a warm and effervescent
Unassuming light
A gentle being, teased by daring
From the crude and lack of caring
Faces staring blindly through your
Unaasuming light

I hear a soft white breathing through infernal noise
A light I'd never witnessed, the mass quickly destroys

Take a hold, take your time
Count your fears, now they're all left behind
Take it slow, take your time
Count the years, now they're all left behind

Did I need a stronger sign,
You gave your signal, so benignly
I lacked the nerve, but so bewitched by your
Unassuming light
Your eyes caught mine, and I looked away
I struggled to fathom what to say
I felt so weak, and unassured by your
Unassuming light

You stood up slowly, as you walked into the dark
I raised my courage standing, ready to embark

Take a hold, take your time
Count your fears, now they're all left behind
Take it slow, take your time
Count the years, now they're all left behind

See the generations follow
Expectations and confusion
Looking at the years ahead
It's clearly not enough
I take misgivings in my stride
Count my presence as intrusion
Looking at the years ahead
It's clearly not enough

When I look back at the chances
I have missed throughout my years
I am looking where I find myself
Picking through the fears
If I had my time all over
Could I mend all the missed turns
Is the time I am living right now
The one I truly earned?

The light came clear as you walked in
From where you stood rhythm begins
A slow heat rose and emanates your
Unassuming light
From once a shy and gentle soul
Becomes a strong beguiling whole
And all eyes stare directly to
A warm and welcome sight.
