Show me the way
verse
My mind took a detour down a back road.
Before long I had lost my way.
I found myself surrounded by strangers
On an island of castaways.
pre chorus
At first they were glad to see me.
Then they were sad I came.
They set me adrift on a raft
beyond the breaking waves.
chorus
I was surrounded by sharks alone in the dark.
In need of being saved.
So I begged and I pleaded,
I prayed to the lord
Please god show me the way.
verse
The moon was his lantern
on that dark night.
Before long I caught sight of land.
A garden like paradise
full of women.
Whose hearts were broken by a man.
pre chorus
At first they were glad to see me.
Then they were sad I came.
They set me adrift on a raft
beyond the breaking waves
chorus
I was surrounded by sharks , alone in the dark
In need of being saved.
So I begged and I pleaded, I prayed to the lord.
Please god show me the way.
bridge
It came to me in a vision.
I was my enemy.
I was misguided, I wasn’t lost.
Confused who I should be.

@carroll gave me a hearty chuckle when it came to the 'paradise full of women' part; too funny! Great lyric. Lots of wonderful imagery sharks and all. Can't wait for more!

I don't really get this one. The prayers to the lord etc don't seem like a good fit to imagery about sharks, rafts and an island of women. But I am happy to be the odd one out!

Bit of an outlier for you Carroll,
getting philosphical in your old age?
I got it straight off, well written, excellent piece.
Interesting to see what music you choose for this.

I LOVED the progression from one castaway Island to the next with a repeating result. Then the final "island" in which one 'casts away' his/her own self. Excellent.

Wow that sucks , castaway twice and on broken hearted women , I guess the prayers work on that situation
Fire the robots up
