Nice song Chris, engineered to your usually impeccable standard.  Nice Harmonies in chorus too.  Really well crafted and delivered.

Nice!  I enjoyed your take on Dale's solo.

Excellent song and beautifully recorded and produced! Wonderful work!

This is another A is A tune, a nice ballad. I was never quite happy with the chorus chord progression in the original version. As I was noodling around on the piano recently this tune came back to me and I finally solved the chord problem. I just had to hear the result so here it is. The guitar solo is my best recreation of Dale's original solo for this tune - It doesn't quite measure up to his beautiful lyrical style, but you'll get the idea. The lyrics were written by my brother Tom, except for the title which was my suggestion. remixed in 2022

V1
I'm tired and worn
I've been through the storm
But I still have hope
That one day I'll cope
I'm tired and worn
I've been hurt and torn
But I still have faith
That one day I'll be safe
Prech
You need to press the button, don't you wait
Help is on the way, don't hesitate
From the depths of despair you'll rise
A life alert shining in your eyes
Chorus
I'm on life alert
Waiting to be reborn
I Need a new start
I'm tired and worn
V2
I'm tired and worn
I've been lost and forlorn
But I still have love
And one day I'll rise above
Prech

Orchestral Prelude

[Prelude Verse 1]
In the boundless expanse we seek
The secrets of the universe so bleak
From galaxies to supernovae we stare
Time and space beyond compare

[Verse 2]
But in our quest for cosmic heights
We overlook our earthly lies
Nations clash in deadly strife
Lost in wars Destroying life

[Chorus]
As stars collide and comets die
We fail to see what lies in store
We see we never tried before
We see we never tried before
Our world fragile what we have done
Is started the Celestial Oblivion

[Verse 3]
We were slaves to the gamed system
The forces that controlled our lives
Trading freedoms for comfort
Our individuality died
