lyrics

The other day at sunset

I spilled some wine on the carpet

And as I was on my knees trying to make it go away

I remembered years and years ago I used to pray


I was staring in awe at the long-lost memory

Of me kneeling on the floor in my old nursery

Talking to a god I’d invented myself

And not finding it odd until I turned about twelve


Ooh

What a delight

To leave control

In someone else’s hands

Ooh

Reunite

Part with the whole

And trust in higher plans

Ooh

Break from the quest

Take off the vest

And just breathe

Allow the sun

To melt me down

And say please

Please

Please



Dear universe

Dear eternal love

Dear somebody upstairs

Or why not call it God above

I am thanking you honestly

For this reconnection

And I'm asking you modestly

For guidance and protection


Ooh what a relief

To let go of the belief

That I alone

Had the power to keep

Bad luck away

If I don’t sleep

If I worry every hour, every day

It was exhausting to assume I wasn’t allowed

To ever let go of the steering wheel

I had no doubt the car was mine, the road was real


Dear universe

Dear eternal love

Dear somebody upstairs

Or why not call it God above

I am thanking you honestly

For this reconnection

And I'm asking you modestly

For guidance and protection

Bara Dockalova Prague, Czechia

I teach English through theatre and I write musical plays. I love composing songs that are embedded in a story and help to move it forward. I write folk songs and chansons also, lately more and more in Czech, and I occasionally perform them myself with a band. ... more
