Written overlooking the Eiffel Tower, recorded in Ireland - a song about enjoying life and going with the flow.

lyrics

At this Altitude

Adoring exploring and creativity
Expressing and connecting through song and simile
Trusting and believing, we’re cherishing life
Growing and forgiving, expanding my mind

Believing and discovering, accepting what is
Being present in the moment, I’ll live and let live
Appreciating, celebrating, savouring the day
Scheming and dreaming and remembering to play

I’m a human being not a human doing,
Yea I like to take it slow
Spontaneity is the key
So I’ll learn to go with the flow
I don’t run but I dance
I don’t walk but I prance
I don’t talk but I rant
I don’t make any plans or shake any hands

Feeling past present future all blending as one
Watching life fall into place and stitches come undone
Trying to plan three steps ahead, I’m not living in the now
Yea I’m stuck down memory lane, I’m wondering how
How fast it goes and time rolls on
Before we know it, we’ll all be dead and gone

I don’t jump through your hoops, going back to my roots
Not gonna stand and salute, or subscribe to your views
I don’t fit the mold or dig doing what I’m told
I’ll shout because I’m bold and I’ll die when I’m old

Not trying to find but create myself
I’ll make the most of the cards that I’ve been dealt
At this altitude I’m flying with no attitude just gratitude
I’ll gravitate towards the tunes
