From the recording Ready For What I Came Here For

Female vocal and piano driven ballad about being swept away by the beauty of nature. An introspective exploration about our relationship to change and the passing of time. The message is about being more gentle with ourselves as we work to figure out the meaning of life.

Lyrics

SWEPT AWAY

How much does a koala drink?
Perhaps you never stopped to think
Questions you never thought to ask
Do you take yourself to task?

I watch the moon
It’s getting smaller, growing bigger
Over the water
Where the currents hold a magic spell
And in the fullness comes a change
So unexpected
And with the wave
I’m SWEPT AWAY

Arrived but also hardly there
Decide, still not far from the edges of despair
Complete but wonder where’s the fun
Am I the only one?

CHORUS

Where else do you expect to run?
You’re face to face and head to head
Wherever you go there you are
There’s no need to fight so hard

CHORUS

I’m SWEPT AWAY
