Start Somewhere demo

And I'll be the strong one,
the helping hand and the guiding light.
A shoulder to lean on,
I'll protect you in the dark
and hold you til you feel alright.
And so many lost souls tonight
like comets red-shifted right out of space.
Seeking Leary's sanctuary,
wayward and homesick,
these are the digital children
clinging to the record store age.

From the night we first connected
it seems like nothing's ever been the same.
Like the sun sees its reflection inside a flame.
I need that sense of connection, 
that solar love that burns up the pain.

And you'll be the dreamer,
dream right on through the starry night.
And if you need to wake up,
I will be there to help you adjust to the light.
Without fear, we fly.
Without fear, we can do anything.
Without fear, a new age has begun,
like lovers in heaven's cocoon.

CHORUS

The song is the journey baby,
the song is alive.
The song is the drone escaping the nameless hive.
Your ego is drowning baby,
but don't fear the storm.
Sometimes you need to die inside to be reborn.

And I'll be a reminder:
You are not an island.

CHORUS
