"I'm Staying Afloat" #newsonglyrics #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter

The final version of the song I wrote in last week's podcast at Lori Jean Finnila Singer Songwriter podcast. Listen to it recorded this week starting Thursday/Friday (depending on where you listen).

Verse

I feel weightless with dreams

I’m light and airy though

it might not be where I should be thinking

I might be bouncing around into things


Chorus

I'm bouncy, I’m unsinkable

I’m staying afloat

though I should be sinking

my dreams are calling me




Verse

I’m scared at the thought 

of having to sit on the floor

after I’ve reached for help

from the steel frame of my hammock

in the dark now in a new way


Chorus

I'm bouncy, I’m unsinkable

I’m staying afloat

though I should be sinking

my dreams are calling me



Verse

I’m echoing

as I’m chattering

bringing in a new sensation

to an unknown movement

It’s tricky at the thought but I’m trying


Bridge

I’ll bring sunshine into my life

As I open the shade

as I progress

to this rose colored window


Chorus

I'm bouncy, I’m unsinkable

I’m staying afloat

though I should be sinking

my dreams are calling me

 I'm working on a composition for this song and think I have a pretty draft to at least put my lyrics to. Watch for this in my next podcast episode Lori Jean Finnila Singer Songwriter. Image by  Moondance  from  Pixabay   "I Can Overcome You" by Lori Jean Finnila Verse You take me down By one look at you Though I’m drawn to you I still have fear to face You’re so powerful Your strength takes me down At the same time  The strongest to my imagination You are outside of my conception I’ll find a way to take my steps to you Chorus Though my fear appears to be stronger Your depth is far equal to I know, I can overcome you…… Verse Your dark and long Dry and strong Holding me in my chest I can’t breathe I can’t see straight But in reality You’re just a beautiful place Am I to  move on from here And feel my true beauty and resilience I feel I need to take these steps And once I’ve done this They’ll be so many more I know,  so sadly But so true Chorus Though my fear appears to be

 This song comes from me looking down at the waterfront where I live in Portland, OR. I don't go down to it, I just look down toward it. I can see the bikes and people. Hear the noises coinciding with it from afar. Yet I hold my breath and clutch my chest to the what the remembrance of that spot brings to me. I'm still working on this emotional feeling. Image by  Jason Goh  from  Pixabay   Verse You take me down By one look at you Though I’m drawn to you I have to face the fear You are powerful Your strength takes me down At the same time strongest to imagination You are outside of my realms I’ll find a way  To take my steps to you Chorus Though my fear appears to be stronger Your depth in advancement Is far equal to I know I can overcome you Verse Your dark and long Dry and strong Holding me in my chest I can’t breathe I can’t see straight When I try to look at you But in reality You’re just a beautiful place Am I to  move on from this place And feel my true beauty and resilie

 This I felt so strongly within this past hour. I could feel the coldness of how unimportant she was. I do remember her as an important woman. News Article Image by  Nicole Turner  from  Pixabay   What is the difference between this beautiful woman who is trying to find her beauty and strength in a tent?  A Woman's Struggle With the Fear of Camping Alone Unreasonable Expectations written by Lori Jean Finnila You are lost now not knowing what you see so sure of your fear before you die As you lay here dying no one hears you crying you eventually die eventually others who know your pain cry In the beauty of nature you find your last home perhaps finally feeling the safest ever perhaps it was a wanderer perhaps it was your fear that took you to your last day here I will remember you I know your journey I know your path I am a woman too who couldn’t fit into what was expected of us We all know too much we can’t fit into this triangle   of expectations that are unreasonably put upon us
