This Life

UNA STORIA COMPLICATA

Verse 1

Sometimes you feel like there’s no way out
A world too big and filled with doubt
But there’s a spark inside you, bright as the sun
You’re stronger than you know, and you’ve just begun

Pre-Chorus

You can write the story, you can change the rules
Open up your vision, the future’s up to you

Chorus

Cause it’s your reality, no one can take it from you
Every dream’s within your reach, if you believe it’s true
You decide your destiny, the power’s in your hands
No matter where you start, you choose where you’ll land
It’s your reality—go claim what you can do

Verse 2

When fear knocks on your door, don’t let it in
You’ve got the heart to fight and the will to win
The voice inside that says “You’ve got this” is right
Take one step forward, step into the light

Pre-Chorus

No mountain too tall, no vision too grand
When you feel the call, that’s where you’ll stand

Chorus (repeat)

Cause it’s your reality, no one can take it from you
Every dream’s within your reach, if you believe it’s true
You decide your destiny, the power’s in your hands
No matter where you start, you choose where you’ll land
It’s your reality—go claim what you can do

Bridge

Don’t let the outside noise drown out your inner flame
You’re the one who writes your script—no two stories are the same
Focus on the horizon, let hope guide your way
Stand tall in your purpose, tomorrow starts today

Final Chorus

It’s your reality, no one can take it from you
Every dream’s within your reach, if you believe it’s true
You decide your destiny, the power’s in your hands
No matter where you start, you choose where you’ll land
It’s your reality—so go on and shine through

Outro

Yes, it’s your reality—go claim what you can do
Stand up and make it real—‘cause it all begins with you

It’s your reality

Clarity Calls is a soulful, acoustic blend of vulnerability and peace, a song for when the world feels too loud, and your heart wants to lead again.

Written to heal. Made to be felt.

The Sweepings with the Wheat (AMOS 8:6)

This song is based on an unfortunately true story. I did a search for someone I knew in college and I found out that she had passed quite young. I gave this song a happier ending, but it still chokes me up a bit.

LYRICS
(C)2025 Ggreg Snyder

[Intro]
I can still see her leaning on the window ledge in the dorm,
Laughing at my bad jokes,
Her notebooks full of doodles, stars and arrows,
Coffee always in her hand.
Been thirty years… and tonight I just wondered—
Where’d she end up?

[Verse 1]
I typed her middle name, the one she never used,
An age to match my own, a little trail of clues.
No picture, just a town she might’ve passed through,
I sat there chasing shadows in the screen’s blue glow.

[Chorus]
I searched for her,
With a heart full of old refrains.
I searched for her,
Through the wires and the windowpanes.

[Verse 2]
An obituary popped up, with the letters all the same,
And my chest went hollow at the weight of her name.
Thought she’d left the world a few years back,
I whispered it softly, the screen faded black.

[Chorus]
I searched for her,
And I thought I had found the end.
I searched for her,
Like a fool looking back again.

[Bridge]
But the years didn’t line up, the town was all wrong,
She never lived there, not where she belonged.
Funny how the heart can break in a minute,
Over somebody’s story with a stranger in it.

[Verse 3]
Then another page opened, a clearer trail,
Oregon skies and a wedding veil.
Two kids in the picture, smiling wide,
Her husband standing steady at her side.

[Verse 4]
And I leaned back quiet, let the silence fall,
Grateful she’d made it through it all.
Not mine to keep, but good to see,
She’s happy where she’s meant to be.

[Chorus – Reprise]
I searched for her,
Through the years and the miles that fly.
I searched for her,
And I finally found her life.

I Searched For Her
