This is about how life is constantly presenting challenges. We must learn from each incident/experience and use that learning to try and be more resilient and be able to move forward. 
I wrote it on my 3/4 size Hofner classical guitar. It’s first song! I used open G tuning after being encouraged to try it by Mark Spruce (Original Spruce - great songs- give them a listen!). Thanks Mark! 
Hope you enjoy it. Best with headphones! 
Take care

Lyrics 
My Uncertain Steps 

As a boy, I was scared of the sea
With my family, on a beach in Normandy, 
a French boy told me the ghosts of drowned sailors grab your legs and dragged you down
I wouldn’t go in! 
Too naive and trusting! 

As a teen, I was all over the place! 
Always confused, just didn’t know which way to face
Too many temptations, suggestions and thrills, distracting and wild
Couldn’t think straight 
Couldn’t concentrate! 

It was always their demands and directions 
Had to meet their dreams and expectations 

My uncertain steps
No confidence 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps 
At my own pace
(My way) 

My wreckage of a life, with this chaotic love
Constant demands, you can never do enough 
Mix in the bullies, the twisters and those egos too
It pulls you apart
Breaks your heart 

I’m seasoned, I now know this path
One crisis avoided, another starts 

My uncertain steps
More experienced 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps
At my own pace 
(My way) 

And now I expect to see the worst
In everyone and everything I know
Just know how it is, but feel I can somehow 
see it through

(outro) 
I’ve got friends (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve lived and learnt (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve got you (for my uncertain steps) 
I’ll get through this (my uncertain steps)

Flâme éternelle

Flâme Éternelle

A song written for my brother's wedding.

Little bit older, little bit wiser,
Maybe just lucky this time around.
Little bit stronger, little bit surer,
You know how this plays out.

Bit of grey hair, bit of laughter,
Few more lines around the mouth.
Pairs of glasses, plenty of storm clouds,
But there's a fire that won't go out.

Years behind.
Years to go.
Years to find.
And years to grow.

A spell of hard times, a breath of hoping,
A few more scars behind the eyes.
Some heavy losses, some re-found friends,
Some fading out from time time.
Another year older, a little less wild yeah,
A few more aches to start the day.
The same old journeys, same old laughter,
Same old smile to light the way.

Years behind.
Years to go.
Years to find.
And years to grow.

Little bit older, little bit wiser,
Maybe just lucky this time around.

Years
