about

Written by Declan Sinnott
Produced by Declan Sinnott
Declan's version appeared on his 2015 album
"Window On The World"
I've always loved the song and, as a measure of
thanks and recognition for the work we've been doing
recording and releasing songs since 2020,
I asked Declan if I could work up a version of the song
with him...
and here it is!

The Cover Design

lyrics

Everything's been named
Everything's been bought and sold
There isn't really much
you'll get to choose
what you will become
is shaped by where you've started from
If you've just arrived
that's the news

Chorus:
I wanna sleep out on The Beach
wake up to the sound of the ocean
half a world away from where I am
Look at where we've come
so far from where we've started
The Lion will not lie down
with The Lamb

I wake up
look outside my window
hear somebody knockin' on my door
It's so strange
I can hear the winds of Change
now Everything is calling out my name

Chorus:

All The Walls are straight
All The Floors are even
Things go on and on
Just as before
I feel that I've been shaped and framed
and moulded in some fashion
Now all My Dreams are filled
with Open Doors

Chorus:
