Laura Breidenthal Poet Lyric

Wanderlust

The birds glide, I don’t know why
It gives me reason to sing
So who am I? What can I bring?

The trees grow, the waters flow
To take us far from here
So who are we? Why do we fear?

In all the glories shown to us, 
We must give in to our wanderlust
To make amends for wrongs we’ve done
Inspire the dreams, in everyone

The lambs leap, the willows weep
To show us we can dance and cry
Don’t live a lie; just ask why

The oceans latch, seashells laugh
There’s always an escape
To the martyr’s smile, on the sun’s sweet dial

In all the glories shown to us, 
We must give in to our wanderlust
To make amends for wrongs we’ve done
Inspire the dreams, in everyone

Don’t let it fade,
Don’t hold it down
The sky is open for us now
Just let them fly,
Those hurts we keep
Inspire the heart, inspire the dream! 

In all the glories shown to us, 
We must give in to our wanderlust
To make amends for wrongs we’ve done
Inspire the dreams, in everyone

In everyone
Inspire the dreams, in everyone


*This song is a collaboration with my older brother, Robert, who was inspired by two hawks soaring around each other earlier today. Younger brother, David, implemented some sweet harmonies that makes this song really special! *

Gary Bateman May 20, 2015 at 5:21 PM Hello Laura, Der Wanderlust would be the appropriate title in the German (possibly too Die Wanderlust in certain contexts). Living here in Germany I'm magnetized every time I encounter German words used in the English speaking environment. Despite my linguistic tangent here, this is a quite beautiful and meaningful Lyric Laura!! A Great collaboration with your brother. Excellent Work!! A "7" + A "FAV" from me!! Ich finde das ganz toll!! Best Always, Gary Laura Breidenthal May 21, 2015 at 10:58 PM Danke, danke my dear friend!!!! You are most kind. I hope to explore more of your fantastic work soon! ~Laura

Paul Callus May 16, 2015 at 5:46 PM This wanderlust would make a wonderful song, Laura! The refrain can be very catchy and easy to remember. The bridge is inspiring. I notice that it's a 'trilogy' effort; well done to all. #7 // paul Laura Breidenthal May 17, 2015 at 11:53 PM Thanks Paul. The song is complete. My wonderful family and friends have made that possible. Thanks! Always, Laura

Nandita Das May 16, 2015 at 8:40 AM What glorious lyrics. It would be awesome if I could be able to listen to this song played. Is it on YouTube? Talented gene pool. 7 Laura Breidenthal May 17, 2015 at 11:55 PM I have considered making a youtube channel for songs and poetry. That would be so awesome! I've recorded the song on my computer, though the balance of voice and piano is a little off. Wish I had the good stuff to record with. With that being said, thank you for reading. You are so kind! ~Laura
