lyrics

Something has changed since we last spoke
You’ve a tired and heavy frown
Through all the mirrors and the smoke
Another one has let you down
If we all want the same things
There’s too little to go around
We’re fools when trying to be Kings
If Queens are gone or never found

I’ve never been a great leader
Could I help lead you from the dark
You burn with the most immense fire
That’s been driving me From the Start

This modern fad they call success
Is not always easy to do
Wasn’t for me, you might have guessed
I still wished it went well for you
Have we misplaced our perspective
For progress and growth at all costs
Surely it’s all ineffective
When understanding has been lost

I’ve never been a great leader
Could I help lead you from the dark
Burn with the most immense fire
That’s been driving me From the Start
Could you help me get it clearer
Why I can’t seem to get it right
Lacking the skills I require
To walk away from the light

So what if we never make it
Fighting the wind the whole time
No room to walk off or break it
A path that’s so clearly defined

Andy Hawkins did the thing everyone dreams of doing; he quit his job of 7 years, started writing songs, and is about to put out his first EP. Inspired by Bob Dylan, Brian Fallon and Billy Bragg, Andy signed up for songwriting coaching with Canadian songwriter Billy Pettinger. He then traded in his 60 hour work weeks and unforgiving boss for a gig as a security guard so he could focus on writing. ... more
