I Feel Empty Inside

Chasing the Wind Again is a soulful reflection on ambition, dreams, and the endless pursuit of something just out of reach. With atmospheric melodies and inspired lyrics, this track invites listeners into a world where hope and struggle dance together. Perfect for late-night drives and moments of deep thought, 'Chasing the Wind Again' captures the bittersweet beauty of chasing what we believe in — even when it feels impossible.
“Chasing the Wind” was my debut release—an introduction to a full catalog of music I’ll be unveiling piece by piece as each track is completed. "Chasing the Wind Again" is a more guitar-centric version designed to be accessible and emotionally resonant, while still maintaining a distinct edge that sets it apart. It blends melodic appeal with lyrical depth, offering listeners a pleasant and thought-provoking sound. The lyrics balance instruction and inspiration, inviting listeners to reflect, grow, and move forward. This is just the beginning of a larger artistic journey, and “Chasing the Wind Again” sets the tone for what’s to come.

[Verse 1]
Working, waiting, wasting time
Wanting what I cannot find
Water flowing to the sea
Seasons spinning endlessly
Same sun rising every day
Same stars fading far away

[Chorus]
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Finding peace from within
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Til I learn just to begin

[Verse 2]
Building towers made of sand
Counting coins in trembling hands
Time is turning, turning still
Like a wheel against my will
Everything I try to keep
Slips away while I sleep

[Chorus]
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Finding peace from within
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Til I learn to begin

[Bridge]
Stop - breathe - see
What's right in front of me
Stop - breathe - be
The truth has set me free
Stop - breathe - Heal
Finally I can feel
Stop reveal
What's simple can be real

[Final Verse]
Now I watch the birds in flight
Feel the breeze and hold it tight
See the flowers break and bend
As the morning starts again
In the simple, in the small
Find the meaning of it all

[Chorus]
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Finding peace from within
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Til I learn to begin
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Finding peace that lives within
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
Now I know how to begin

Chasing the Wind Again

counterpoint

I have always loved the story of King David, from killing Goliath to his accension to King. All the good things and the bad....


[Verse 1]  
Out in the hills with a sling in my hand  
Tending the sheep at the Lord’s command  
Thunder would roll, and the lion would roar  
But I sang to the Lord and feared no more  

[Verse 2]  
Samuel came with oil and flame  
He said, “The Lord has called your name”  
While brothers stared in disbelief  
I bowed my head in quiet relief  

[Chorus]  
I fall, I rise, I run, I pray  
The Lord’s my rock, my hiding place  
Through every sin and battle scar  
He holds me close, He knows my heart  
The path is dark, the climb is steep  
But grace has hands that never sleep  
Through joy and shame, through sword and song  
To You, O Lord, I still belong  

[Verse 3]  
Faced a giant with stones and a cry  
“You come with sword, but I'm with the Most High”  
The world stood still, the battle won  
But pride would come before too long  

[Verse 4]  
I danced before the ark with joy  
A shepherd king, no longer a boy  
But lust and murder stained my name  
And still, I called upon His name  

[Chorus]  
I fall, I rise, I run, I pray  
The Lord’s my rock, my hiding place  
Through every sin and battle scar  
He holds me close, He knows my heart  
The path is dark, the climb is steep  
But grace has hands that never sleep  
Through joy and shame, through sword and song  
To You, O Lord, I still belong  

[Bridge]  
The child I lost, the tears I shed  
The throne I feared, the blood I bled  
Absalom’s cry tore through my soul  
But mercy wrote my final scroll  

[Verse 5]  
Now gray with years, my hands are weak  
But still Your face is all I seek  
Not in the palace or the praise  
But in the song my spirit plays  

[Final Chorus]  
I fall, I rise, I run, I pray  
The Lord’s my light, my only way  
He lifts me up when I have failed  
His love endures, it never pales  
The battle ends, but not the grace  
I’ll see my Lord, I'll see His face  
Through every wrong, through every psalm  
To You, O Lord, I still belong  


“The Lord is my shepherd… I shall not want.”  


Psalm of David
