New Stories  –  Murray Edmunds, Copyright August 2021

A boy was brought to see the river 
He was his father’s only son 
And as he watched it flow by 
An understanding had begun. 
He chose to step into the water 
And so the boy became a man 
And as he learned to swim 
New lives, new stories began. 

Trust your instincts, trust your judgement, trust in all that you know you can learn.
Seize your chances, seize adventure, embrace each point from which there is no return. 

Then you don’t need to fear to tread
There beyond the shoreline 
Where there is no guideline
Guarantee or grand design. 
Don’t fear what lies ahead 
Uncharted territories 
Don’t rest on former glories
Carpe diem write new stories.

The past has made the here and now  
Events, and all the lessons learned. 
It’s here you set the future 
With choices made and bridges burned.
Do you cling to the here and now?  
Or let go, have faith in drifting free, 
Believing time is like a river 
That will always find the sea?

Trusting your instincts, trusting your judgement, trusting all that you know you can learn
To seize your chances, seize adventure, embrace each point from which there is no return.

Then you don’t need to fear to tread
Here outside the confines
Here there are no guidelines
Guarantees, no grand designs. 
Don’t fear what lies ahead 
Uncharted territories 
Don’t rest on former glories
Carpe diem write new stories. 
Plotlines in your head 
All mapped out as allegories
No time for former glories
Carpe diem write new stories 
With what lies ahead 
Uncharted territories 
No time for former glories
Carpe diem write new stories.

Never dwell on former glories
Always seek to write new stories
Let the river carry you away. 
The water knows the way to seize the day.

Who Want Smoke??

Who Want Smoke?? (feat. G Herbo, Lil Durk & 21 Savage)

[Verse]
Unloved child cries alone
Silent whispers in the dark
No one's there to take a hand
Broken heart from the start

[Verse 2]
Years go by they toughen up
Scars remain but won't show
Search for love in crowded rooms
Still feel like no one's home

[Chorus]
Lost in shadows can't find light
Tangled up in endless night
Seeking warmth from the cold
Unloved child growing old

[Bridge]
Dreams of places far away
Where the pain will fade away
But the past it clings so tight
Unloved child still in fright

[Verse 3]
Found a friend along the way
Someone who would always stay
Understanding all the pain
Helping them to love again

[Chorus]
Lost in shadows can't find light
Tangled up in endless night
Seeking warmth from the cold
Unloved child growing old

Lost In Shadows
