Music At Work offers an exclusive, ongoing sneak-peek into new songs on the horizon. All song titles and lyrics are subject to change, evolve, or disappear entirely over time, but I want to share some of the beginning stages of the creative process with you in real-time.
Here are lyrics from a new song in development with the working title “Steady In Your Care.” It’s a very Gregory Douglass-certified piano ballad that might even make Patty Griffin proud ;)
Steady In Your Care
by Gregory Douglass
I wish I had a pair of your wings
So I could get out of my own damn way
And feel the momentum of this
But I am only one man
If love should heal it all
And all of this hurt should reconcile
I’ll know it was because you were there
If hope should reappear
And this weary dream should prove worthwhile
I’ll know it was because you were there
And I’m always steady in your care
So long hard climb
You’re just a memory in a photo frame
Set out beside me and my burning bedside
And you cast the water to the flames
You call my name
And I am never the same
If love should heal it all
And all of this hurt should reconcile
I’ll know it was because you were there
If hope should reappear
And this weary dream should prove worthwhile
I’ll know it was because you were there
And I’m always steady in your care
When I’m full of jealousy
When there's something wrong with me
I know you’ll be there
Any way you can
Any way you can
If love should heal it all
And all of this hurt should reconcile
I’ll know it was because you were there
If hope should reappear
And this weary dream should prove worthwhile
I’ll know it was because you were there
And I’m always steady in your care
