Name: Zouk 2
Duration: P00H05M07S
Description: Zouk 2-Written for my daughter Serenity and step daughter Rachel after both went through extremely rough patches. I couldn't fix or change things. All I could do was offer support and this "Chin up, girls" tune. Luckily they're tough cookies. Recorded at home with me on Irish tuned bouzouki, piano, synth, key bass and percussion.

lyrics

I KNOW YOU’RE SCARED
OF THE UNCERTAINTY
UNCERTAIN DAYS DRIVE US ALONG
I KNOW YOU CRAVE EVEN A BRIEF RESPITE
TIME TO RECHARGE SO YOU CAN STAY STRONG
WHEN YOU GET CAUGHT UP IN CIRCUMSTANCE
YOU’RE FORCED TO FACE UP TO YOUR FATE
NOTHING IN LIFE IS WRITTEN IN STONE
IT NEVER GETS TOO LATE
INSTRUMENTAL
SOMETIME YOU FEEL
THAT YOUR BEST TIME HAS PAST YOU BY
SOMETIMES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’RE FEELIN’ YOUR AGE
YOU’RE NOT RESIGNED TO YOUR SAD LOT IN LIFE
PUMP UP THE JOY, PUSH DOWN THE RAGE
NO TIME TO DANCE ON YOUR LOST DREAMS GRAVE
YOU’VE ONLY GOT THIS LIFE TO LIVE
TAKES ALL YOU GOT JUST TO GET OUT OF BED
STILL YOU GIVE, & YOU GIVE, & YOU GIVE
INSTRUMENTAL X 2
I KNOW YOU’RE TIRED,
TIRED OF THE BULLSHIT IN YOUR LIFE
I KNOW YOU FRET ‘BOUT WHAT’S COMIN’ DOWN
I KNOW YOU WANT MORE THAN YOU GOT RIGHT NOW
I KNOW YOU WEEP WHEN THERE’S NO ONE AROUND
DON’T HAVE TO JUMP WHEN THEY CRACK THAT WHIP
YOU’VE LEARNED HOW TO STAND YOUR GROUND
SHOULD YOU NEED HELP WHEN IT ALL GOES TO HELL
LOOK UP THERE IS HELP ALL AROUND
YOU KNOW I AM EASILY FOUND
