about

An original, but based on Auld Lang Syne, from which I stole one of the lines.

lyrics

There's a holy holy heart in you
And there's even one in me
Though we cast our chains off long ago
We can only now be free

Have I lived a life of meaning?
I have not always been true
Yes I watered seeds in darkness
Though I did not see them through

Well there's a holiness inside your heart
And there's even some in me
Yet the seas between us broad have roared*
For a love that couldn't be

Could the fates return what was dear to me
Would I ask them to or go
Down the wild road where life must grow
And to the unknown lands below?

about

Daniel Muenz Ann Arbor, Michigan

A folkie at heart, I'm drawn to simple melodies and to lyrics that tell a story. This whole thing's an experiment; I'm figuring out how to make music as I go.
