about

This is the first single from my upcoming EP - also titled 'Heavenly'. This track was originally written in April '21 for premature birth awareness charity Elijah's Star... but it is also for anyone who has lost anyone precious to them.

Brand new 7 track EP coming soon on Bandcamp

Ten percent of all births are premature and globally, it’s the biggest killer of children under 5. To find out more about Elijahs Star, or to donate, visit elijahsstar.com

lyrics

Heavenly

Some people want to set the world on fire
Walk the high wire
Shine on that silver screen
But fame and fortune, what are they worth
We’re so little time on this earth
They don’t mean anything

If I had a dream,
What good would it do
It couldn’t bring back you
And when it comes to life’s ambition
You were its fruition
So now what do I do

I’m trying to grow wings
So I can fly up to where you are
Part of me believes
Part of you is in every single star
Shining for me
You’re so heavenly

Some are built with so much light
They burn so fast and so bright
Blaze a trail upon your soul
Burn so fast and then burn out
Leave a breath of stars in your mouth
Too much too beautiful

I look out on the horizon
To where the sea and sky collide and
Think that’s where you must be
Where the surfers ride white horses
Where the heavens kiss the boats is
Where you and I fly free

I’m trying to grow wings
So I can fly up to where you are
Part of me believes
Part of you is in every single star
Shining for me
You’re so heavenly
