Story Behind The Song
This (eclectic) song could also be listed under Country Rock and fronted by one of the top singers in that realm today and turned into a great concert/performance piece. Listen carefully to the transition between the 1st and 2nd parts. There are many, many tracks of all kinds of exotic sounds, percussion, etc., which are intended to take the listener to a primal place of contemplation as the dreamy and haunting lyrics and melodies provide the back drop for the coming rush of power. There are well over 50 separate tracks on this combined song. Lots of dynamics.
Song Description
This dynamic song is actually two songs put together as one by using the concept of a Reprise for the 2nd half, which is basically a slowed down and slightly reworded version of the 1st half. It's also where powerful chords w/striking lead riffs (by the talented multi instrumentalist, Andrew Machin) add dramatic contrast to the prior dreamy, mellower parts of the song.

Lyrics
Gazing at the stars, hanging out in bars. Searching for a life, that's free from strife.
And what are we here for? To be involved in war? And won't you take a chance, and try a different dance?
Sooo, go deep...inside yourself, and find...your reason, for being here right now. You have, some special gifts to give, so why don't you, decide to really live!?
Standing small in line. I'm waiting for my share. People rushing round; and no one seems to care.
It's time to take my leave, and create my design. I've got to take the chance, for things to turn out fine.
So! Go deep...inside yourself and find...your reason, for being here right now. You have...some special gifts to give, so why don't you, decide to really live.
And when you, get to the place inside. You'll find it's all inside your mind. Then you'll have to, seek out a different way, to create a brand new day....
