Over the past few months, I’ve been struggling to find positivity in the world. Humanity is going through so much right now. Too many innocent lives are being lost to war. We’re forced to live with more and more acts of violence. In my own country, people are struggling to buy food, find work, and pay bills.
It’s rare to see a smile from strangers now, and I don’t blame them. There’s fewer things to smile about. It feels like we’re past the golden days of humanity, and things are just spiraling into more and more chaos every day.
A part of me wishes that we could all sail away to a different world, where we’ve learned to live in peace and harmony with each other. It’s a silly dream, but this song was inspired by that hope. Let me know if you guys can relate.
Thank you guys so much for listening to my music. Sending you guys big hugs. Please hang in there.

Lyrics:
There’s a pond a mile away from town
Where swans and frogs would grow
We laughed and cheered near waters clear
A place that we called home
Now the water’s stale from years of drought
This town is just the same
A thousand hearts once filled with love
Are now just filled with hate
I used to see open skies
Now dust storms cloud my eyes
I lived in paradise
That was another time
Trip to the marketplace
Sea of unhappy faces
We’re drowning in pain
I’ve got to get away
I wish I could cry and turn this pond into a river
So it could carry me away to somewhere so much better
Where people actually smile not stare with eyes as cold as winter
And work to lend a helping hand instead of pointing fingers
I wish I could cry and turn this pond into a river
So it could carry me away to somewhere so much better
Where people found a way to live in harmony together
Hand in hand and open hearts there’s nothing they can’t weather
There’s a pond a mile away from town
Where kids would jump and play
Underneath cerulean dreams
We’re all one and the same
But the rain’s been gone too long
And kindness never grows
In empty ponds and empty fields
Where seeds of rage are sewn
Lips spreading filthy lies
Streets filled with crooked smiles
No friends just foes in sight
Everyone’s lost their mind
Hatred and violence
Words turned to bloody fists
Patience is wearing thin
I’m so damn tired of this
I wish I could cry and turn this pond into a river
So it could carry me away to somewhere so much better
Where people actually smile not stare with eyes as cold as winter
And work to lend a helping hand instead of pointing fingers
I wish I could cry and turn this pond into a river
So it could carry me away to somewhere so much better
Where people found a way to live in harmony together
Hand in hand and open hearts there’s nothing they can’t weather
I used to see open skies
Now dust storms cloud my eyes
I lived in paradise
That was another time
I used to see open skies
Now dust storms cloud my eyes
I lived in paradise
That was another time
