This song is the first to be born while I was playing the guitar. (Normally, I write the lyrics first and then try to come up with a melody and then perhaps even a guitar part.) I was trying out the DADGAD tuning and started strumming and the first two verses just jumped out of my mouth.

I wish to dedicate this song to the people out there who suffer from depression and yet still get up every day and live their lives and especially to those who have their own rebirth and find the joy that comes from the beauty of every day things.

Walked out to the ocean
Toward the murky deep
Worked out an escape plan
Cried myself to sleep

Spent days chasing rainbows
They were sunlight through my tears
Nightmares gathered round me
Witness to the years

Friendships long forgotten
Washed up on my shore
Pacts we'd made together
To be friends forever more

The secrets and the diaries
Blown away like desert sand
Memories urged my actions
Desperation forced my hand

I longed for peace of everlasting kind
And I thought I'd missed my chance
The wheel turned round and the day grew dim
And I couldn't try again

But then I saw the ocean
and the blue, blue of the sky
As I walked in sea foam
I heard the Lady sigh

"The calling of the seabirds
And the crashing of the waves
These are where your peace lies,"
Was the sage advice she gave

Touch of moonlight
And the dancing of the leaves
Washed my inner turmoil
With new promise to believe

Tranquil thoughts and wild-eyed girls
Living in the quiet earth
In sunlit shores and forests deep
I'd found my own rebirth

I longed for peace of everlasting kind
And I thought I'd missed my chance
The wheel turned round and I faced the sun
And I knew I'd try again
