"Look Around" was the fourth track released by The Good Years ( David Booth, Steven Mears and Andy Trill) - part of an ongoing project to put together an album.The next one will be out as soon as life allows.
lyrics
It’s so hard to not forget
to do my best through waves & tides
to find the love that so often hides
in stuff & worry and flight of sense
we can feel like the whole world is bearing down
we can see life as a fight to just work out
where to find all the answers
or just stop, open up and look around
vision blurs and time runs past
the meaning less than vibrant clear
nonsense builds documented fear
and nothing do we learn, and nothing do we hear
we can feel like the whole world is bearing down
we can see life as a fight to just work out
where to find all the answers
or just stop, open up and look around
let go, let go, heart is clouds and grasping
let go, let go, regroup the scattered
let go, let go, becalm the choppy waters
