about

A post lockdown song reflecting on how folk said this was going to to be a "reset" and a "new normal" but as soon as things opened up it was back to business as usual. Musically I have created a new normal and to date have been thoroughly enjoying just seeing what comes along instead of the stressing over where the next gig will be. The song is probably a lot more autobiographical than I first thought.

lyrics

Looking up at the mountain I’ve got to climb
No path in sight to guide my way, saving some precious time
Stumbling over uneven ground
Willing myself don’t turn around
Climbing on alone I have to tell myself

Chorus
Rome wasn’t built in a day
Keep that in mind no matter what they say
Rome wasn’t built in a day so take your time
Rome wasn’t built in a day
Reach for the sky but keep your feet on the ground
Rome wasn’t built in a day you’re doing fine

Ascending the ladder of life rung by rung
Higher and higher towards the top, hoping it won’t take too long
Day after day, night after night
Sure as darkness follows light
Maybe I’d do well to slow it down

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
But if this life is all up hill what’s waiting at the top
From there, there’s only one way to turn

Repeat Chorus
