“Sailing In the Sea” #newsonglyrics #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter #goingblind

 I wrote this after watching the movie ‘True Spirit’ on Netflix. I had been lost in a place I hadn’t been in before swinging in my yoga hammock. When I came back to the presence of my normal I realized I was very comfortably lost in the swinging in the dark with my eyes closed as a normal. I knew what to write after I saw Jesse’s story. I knew my body was pleasantly, comfortably accepting the new normal about to come and I embraced it. I wanted to share this but couldn’t figure out how to word it.

“Sailing In the Sea”

I sit here rocking

Though I know you’re still with me

I caught a moment when you weren’t 

I wasn’t scared for that time

Just lost in a beautiful place

I was sailing in the sea


Chorus

It’s like sailing in the sea

Just swinging here in my swing

Losing my sight is like

Sailing in the sea


Verse

I know now

Not to be afraid

It comes on so slowly and comfortably

It’s just like sailing in the sea


Mother Mary thank God I believe 

this voyage comes so easily

I know all my faith 

has brought me to this calm place


Chorus

It’s like sailing in the sea

Lost in a beautiful place

losing my sight

Is like sailing in the sea


Verse

And when the dark all happens

I’ll know I’m in a safe comfortable place

Cuz I feel it now 

Rocking in my swing with my eyes closed 


Bridge

I’m locked up in this feeling

I’m closed in this thought

I know I’m safe and secure

no matter what happens now


Chorus

It’s like sailing in the sea

Just swinging here in my swing

Losing my sight is like

Sailing in the sea

Verse 

You took away my dream 

I was just a little girl 

Virginity  

You took from me 

 

Chorus 

You say, girl 

Smile this way 

Your dreams will come with me

 

Verse 

Girl….. 

Give me your world 

All your dreams 

Will come to me 

 

Chorus 

You say, girl 

Smile this way 

Your dreams will come true 

 

Verse 

Your delusions take me 

I see my dreams 

The fantasy you build for me 

Seems so real 

 

Bridge 

As I open my hands  

I am accepting you right now 

I am completely accessible to you 

 

Chorus 

You say, girl 

Smile this way 

Your dreams will come true

The Words I Want to Say by Lori Jean Finnila

Verse

I’m thinking happiness and sad

both close together

I’m confused

I know not to tire

I’m trying to see where I am


In my sight, a dark mass moves 

sadly enough when I try to imagine what it is

My sight sees it perfectly outlined

though I can’t perfectly define it


Chorus

I won’t worry everyday

just because I keep

forgetting the words 

I want to say


Verse

It’s perfectly outlined and black

though not the deepest 

compared to its entirety

almost like a shadow 

I see the silhouette

I can still verbalize it out loud

I know not to fear this is normal

I don’t know when it’s coming back


Chorus

I won’t worry everyday

just because I keep forgetting 

the words I want to say


Verse

I’m not crazy

though it looks like I am

I work everyday to camouflage this vision

I know I’m not the only one

who has problems 

all at the same time


Chorus

I won’t worry everyday

just because I keep forgetting 

the words I want to say


repeat chorus


The Words I want say

repeat 3x
