Unbridled Sky

This song is not about my own life but was inspired by a few people that I met on my trip to Alaska.


Deep within this heart of mine
Is a world I can't deny
And everyday I tried
To escape this heart of mine
I never knew what was true
I never knew what to do
"Chorus"
I walked away from the unbridled sky
Just to see what I would find
I crossed the road into another life
Leaving behind my drug filled past
Moving forward to make life last
I learned that there is more to life
Than a high, than to die
I walked away from the unbridled sky


Far beyond these eyes
Was a man that was hard to find
It was hard to see beyond the red
It was hard to see beyond the fog
My fog filled eyes always ran dry
I didn't know who I had become
"Chorus"
I walked away from the unbridled sky
Just to see what I would find
I crossed the road into another life
Leaving behind my drug filled past
Moving forward to make life last
I learned that there is more to life
Than a high, than to die
I walked away from the unbridled sky
"Bridge"
Today I drop all of my needles
Today I search for me
Not in a bottle or a high
But in this heart of mine
I choose to see what's real in life
That I'm surrounded by all I need
Today I leave the unbridled sky
"Chorus"
I walked away from the unbridled sky
Just to see what I would find
I crossed the road into another life
Leaving behind my drug filled past
Moving forward to make life last
I learned that there is more to life
Than a high, than to die
I walked away from the unbridled sky

Thank you Doug it means a lot! I wrote it while sitting outside in Denali up in Alaska it was like the cool breeze whispered the words into my ear.

It was me that whispered the words in your ear.That's the first time I've been called a "cool breeze"!

I liked this, the title was very inviting. And as always, you pull the reader into your works with the way you write.

This was good John
