Trying to Connect – v2 (&Song)
I walk down the pavement
And I sit down inside
I get a hot coffee and a warm croissant
And then I start swimming against the tideI’m reaching out
I’m trying to connect
I don’t know what’s next
I’m trying to connectAah…This is me now
It’s a new day
And the sun is streaming hot
I forget the story in the stars
Cos nobody knows the plot
I was raised on a promise
It was whispered in the wind
It said “Give all you’ve got
And nobody can say that you’ve sinned”I’m reaching out
I’m trying to connectI don’t need to be rescued
I just need you to be there
I’m reaching out for something
Something we can share
But there’s too much noise, You can’t hear me
And there’s a haze, So we can’t see
I’m still outside, Your comfort zone
And when you don’t understand, I feel more aloneI’m reaching out
I don’t know what’s next
I’m reaching out
I’m trying to connectAah…This is me now
I created a song from the original poem and changed it in the process as often happens and so have republished it here.
Please listen to the song…I would love any comments.
