Shape This Life

by Kings & Strangers

supported by

amcam It sort of galvanises you to think about next steps now rather than moving through limbo waiting for Covid to resolve but it also speaks to the difficulty of doing that and not making a wrong choice on the spur of the times we are living in. Complex yet reminds me not to waste time as it can run out when you least expect for anyone! Love the melody and pace and the way this hangs together I could listen to this all day... Voices are awesome!

about

A song about the difficult decisions of life, and the anxieties that accompany them...

lyrics

The paths before me stretch and wind,
They twist and writhe around my mind.
Lost inside my discontent,
Where is the end to my lament?
Pressure forms within, without,
To know my path beyond a doubt,
If I choose wrong, can I go back?
Can I escape this loveless pact?

I don’t know how to shape this life of mine,
All I know is I’m running out of time.

Along the path that I have chose,
Are many tests from fears and foes.
Pressing on I must prevail,
‘Cause I cannot afford to fail.
In my head the doubts crowd in,
Is this a race that I can win?
If I chose wrong am I now trapped?
Locked into my loveless pact?
