Name: in the shake-up
Duration: P00H03M22S
Description: This track was written as a way to express my feelings about being laid off from a long-term career in July of 2020, as the industry I worked in (hospitality) was crushed by covid. I spent 9 months looking for work, mostly alone in Blaine Lake, SK. I learned a lot about myself during this time, and found that indeed I am worth more than gold (and so are you). Love and hugs.

lyrics

I was dragged through the past
And I’m crawling toward a new day
I can’t see past my own lies
And I feel like I’m a storm
Raging in the sea
With waves on all sides
I am tired

In the shake-up
I’ve been made obsolete
But I’m here to tell my story
My secret, is I feel so alone
This can’t be how my story goes

Though I couldn’t see it for myself
Everything was lined up on the shelf
And I’m going to be alright

So now I ask for help
And I know that I’m surrounded
By my allies

In the shake-up
I’ve been made obsolete
But I’m here to tell my story
My secret, that I want you to know
Is I’ve found that I am
Worth more than gold
