Berlin Drive

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)

My Uncertain Steps

world without light

Verses 1
In a world without light
Everything is desolate and empty
A world without light
I'll never see your eyes again
In a world without light
I don't see the sun anymore
In a world without light, I miss you so much

Ref.
A star burns out before its light ever reaches
There's just this darkness around me
No, I don't want to believe that your voice will be silent forever
Because a world without you is a world without light

Verses 2
In a world without light, cruelty and suffering reign
I try to escape from her but I never get far
In a world without light, breathing is so difficult
In this world without light your eyes will never open again

Ref.
A star burns out before its light ever reaches
There's just this darkness around me
No, I don't want to believe that your voice will be silent forever
Because a world without you is a world without light

bridge
Scream into the night but the echo fades away unheard
Pain tears my heart out but you don't hear me anymore

Ref.
A star burns out before its light ever reaches
There's just this darkness around me
No, I don't want to believe that your voice will be silent forever
Because a world without you is a world without light

Outro
In a world without light no bird flies
This world without light
is a world without you
For me
For me
