New Sara Song

     Last night I found myself driving around feeling lost.  Today, I tried to get back on track.  On my way home from work I remembered I had some new music to listen to on my Ipod.  The melody, the voice...but mostly the lyrics swept me away as I dodged rain clouds, lightning bolts and gusts of wind.  A storm was brewing literally and figuratively and I knew they both would soon pass....

"Once Upon Another Time"

Once upon another time
Somebody's hands who felt like mine
Turned the key and took a drive
Was free
Highway curve, the sun sank low
Buckley on the radio
Cigarette was burning slow
So breathe

Just yellow lines and tire marks
And sun-kissed skin and handle bars
And where I stood was where I was to be

No enemies to call my own
No porch light on to pull me home
And where I was is beautiful
Because I was free

Once upon another time
Before I knew which life was mine
Before I left the child behind me
I saw myself in summer nights
And stars lit up like candle light
I make my wish but mostly I believed...

In yellow lines and tire marks
Sun-kissed skin and handle bars
And where I stood was where I was to be

Once upon another time
Decided nothing good in dying
So I would just keep on driving
Because I was free
