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! *

Yes-let the words fly. You take me to places I have not dreamed of. Each poem is such a ride. There is something so special about the way you put this all together. Thanks so much the words.

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

A fitting lyric in tribute to the hawk. Such a pleasure to read your collaborative write, my friend. I admire siblings who are able to express their art with such joy and warmth. A 7. Hugs and best regards to you guys! Kim

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

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
