lyrics

This is the place I always dreamed that I would live
but never noticed as I passed it every day.
Some kind of Shangri La, a glimpse I caught in passing
Like a smile
from a passing stranger's face.

Do you know where roses grow?

There was this girl I always dreamed about
but did without the benefits of what her love could bring.
A gentle princess to dismiss my inhibitions
and convince me that I'm worthy to be king.

Sometimes, love stares me in the face.
Looks like this must be the place.

This is the world my father told me I'd inherit
and to do with it whatever that I wish.
It took awhile to reconcile it's always changing
and it's harder to resolve than to resist.

Pushed myself much farther than I'd ever thought I'd go
as I pushed my own ambitions
past the place where roses grow.

Sometimes, life puts us in our place.
Looks like this must be the place.

Sometimes, love stares me in the face.
Looks like this must be the place.

Some kind of Shangri La.

On the inside I’m a recovering cynic, a light house keeper under siege, a champion of lost causes, and by birthright-my own worst critic. Still, always happiest occupying creative space.
