Headed For The Sun

Song By: Thomas Melson Singer's: Thomas Melson & Allie Bailiey Warm, uplifting pop-folk with a stumbling-to-steady groove: gentle acoustic guitar, brushed drums, upright bass, and soft piano grow into layered hand percussion, mandolin, and airy synth pads, Start slightly hesitant with sparse verses, then lock into a brighter mid-tempo pulse with luminous vocal harmonies and a clean, open mix Weirdness 56% Style Influence 75% [Verse 1 Slow then building up as it gose] Slow rising sun on my window glass, Siting at my table, Coffee steaming in my cup, Yeah writing down my name, On a list of all the things I thought, I’d never get to do, Still in my socks, kitchen floor, just a little cool, Same street outside, Yeah that same old street, That I've looked at be four, But it feels a little brighter now, Since I made peace with this view. [Pre-Chorus] Every small hello, every winding road, Led me right here, where my heart just explodes, Yeah just explodes. [Chorus] I’m gonna keep growing as I go on the way, not just when I arrive, Yeah finding a little heaven, in my ordinary life, Every step ahead is humming like a song, Yeah a song, It's a Warm, rising melody that’s pulling me along each-day, I’m grateful for the miles I haven’t walked yet, Everyday joy, Yeah everyday joy, in every moment I get, I don’t need a finish line to feel okay, I’m shining on the road, I'll glow along the way. [Verse 2] Old scars on my weathered hands, Proof I made my own plans, Stumbled through the nights I swore, That I thought I'd never see the dawn, Now laughs in the grocery line, Strangers with a borrowed smile, Turn a simple Tuesday afternoon, Into something I can lean on, Yeah lean on. [Pre-Chorus soft and up lifting] Yeah all the little sparks, in the in-between, Turn my faded dreams into movie scenes. [Chorus] I’m growing on the way, not just when I arrive, Finding heaven right here in this ordinary life, Every step ahead is humming like a song, Warm, rising melody that’s pulling me along, I’m so grateful for the miles, I haven’t walked yet, Everyday joy in the moments I get, I don’t need a finish line to feel okay, I’m shining on the road, Yeah, I'll grow with love, As I go along the way. Being happy with each day. [Bridge] Maybe I won’t have a billboard with my name in lights, But I’ve got friends who call me just to say goodnight, Got a sky of colors pouring through my blinds, And a heart that’s learning how to recognize, [Musical interlude with stringed instruments] All the magic hiding in the quiet hours, Raindrops drumming, like a choir of flowers I close my eyes and let the rhythm stay, And feel tomorrow rising in today. [Break / Drop Chorus – short] Oh, I’m growing on the way, And, I’m glowing as I go on my way. [Final Chorus] Yeah I’m growing as I go on my way, not just when I arrive, I'm Finding heaven in an ordinary day, Every step ahead is humming like a song, With a warm, rising melody that’s pulling me along, I’m grateful for the miles, I haven’t walked yet, Holding every sunrise like a sweet duet, I don’t need a finish line to feel okay, I’m shining on this road called life, As I grow along the way. [Outro – gentle and soft] Slow sun through the window frame, Take a breath, whisper out my name, Thankful for the road I haven’t seen, And all the simple thing's in this life, And all the golden in-between.
