it goes beyond any word:

Lyrics:
Finding My Way
I'm finding my way and I have to say
It feels good to know that I'm on my way
And when I emerge from the hole I've been in
I''l be happy to tell you all about where I've been
I'm finding my way to be happy
I'm finding my way to get home
I'm finding my way to get out of here
I'm finding my way to be over and done
And it won't be long
It's not wrong to feel
It's so real, so strong
Need to keep on keel
There's a lesson to learn
There is Truth to discern
There is Wisdom to earn
There is Trust to confirm
There's a path to be found
There's a sound to be heard
There's a thought so profound
It goes beyond any word
Happy
Happy
Happy
I'm finding my way to be happy
I'm finding my way to get home
I'm finding my way to get out of here
I'm finding my way to be over and done
And it won't be long
It's not wrong to feel
It's so real, so strong
Need to keep on keel
And I don't belong
In a world, surreal
So I seek my home
Follow my ideal
I'm finding my way to be happy
I'm finding my way to be happy
I'm finding my way to be happy
I'm finding my way
About the song:
My primary music production software is Propellerhead Reason, currently in Version 10, which I started using as version 1.0 way back in 2000. This track formed out of tinkering with a new additive synth Rack Extension called "4Mer" by Ochen K... I was drawn to the gritty, but lively sound quality, and the complexity of the harmonic content of some of the sounds. No, it's not necessarily a message about being suicidal, or a bad relationship, but rather a general impression of what it feels like to get bogged down in something that you just want to be done with... Quite optimistic actually, despite being cynical.
