Story Behind The Song

Several people close to me were in the midst of some big life changes. One was giving up a career and moving across the country to support her husband's career, another was coming out. I was inspired by the courage and beauty with which these people moved with the changes.

Song Description

We continually evolve and transform as we go through life. Some of these changes come from within and some are completely out of our control. We strive to accept what is and make the best of it, while we continue to learn, grow and enjoy the ride.

Lyrics

Nature moves in many ways:
Subtle changes spanning generations,
Or a shift in the wind.

A body dormant underground,
His world is right and absolutely earthbound
Until his wings come in.

You are life in motion, an ever-changing sky,
Ending and beginning at the same time.
You are transformation, always underway
A quantum leap from yesterday.

Children go beyond our dreams.
Our little men and women fly away, it seems,
All in the wink of an eye.

We re-adjust at every stage,
While young ones face the questions of their own age,
Both reckless & wise.

You are life in motion, an ever-changing sky,
Ending and beginning at the same time.
You are transformation, always underway
A quantum leap from yesterday.

If change is not the enemy,
But only a disguise for opportunity,
Would you still fight it?

And when good fortune comes your way,
Do you rejoice or mourn that she might leave one day?
Only you decide it.

You are life in motion, an ever-changing sky,
Ending and beginning at the same time.
You are transformation, always underway
A quantum leap from yesterday.
A quantum leap from yesterday.
