The View Fom There

Lyrics
Verse I
I see you, do you see me
Looking over your shoulder
Moments pass while we are waiting
We are ageless yet older
Dare I ask you this question
Dare I beg you this favor
Judge us not for the indiscretions
Judge us not if we waiver

Turning tables tend to make us dizzy
No spin doctor could help us now

Chorus
We are afraid of all that we know
We are afraid of what we’ve been told
Persevere through fire and rain
The view from there is never the same
(repeat)

Verse II
Guilty by association
We are not free to place the blame
We are so new to this expedition
Many mountains left to claim

Falling fast without a hundred feet of bungee chord
In case we change our minds

(key change)
Chorus
We are afraid of all that we know
We are afraid of what we’ve been told
Persevere through fire and rain
The view from there is never the same
(repeat )

Chorus (to fade)
We are afraid of all that we know
We are afraid of what we’ve been told
Persevere through fire and rain
The view from there is never the same

The drums have a drum line feel. Add to that a fast paced bass line, warm strings and atypical bell tones that carry the resonance of the piece.
Story Behind the Song:
It's about getting through the tumult and having the insight to recognize there was a purpose for it.
