about

Track 9 of a 21 song album written and recorded in 21 days during lockdown in South Africa because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

lyrics

Men like these are few and far between
A dying breed
Always forgotten of in history
They took the easy way out
But all my friends
Will be remembered ’til the bitter end
It doesn’t matter what a tombstone says
It’s what the man was about

Take it for granted
You need me I’ll be there
I’ll give you the shirt off my back if you need to get warm

Memories are all we really have in times like these
A way to focus on the better things
To lift our brains from the ground
Silently we sit and suffer when we really need someone to listen
With a smile to see
And a familiar sound

Take it for granted
You need me I’ll be there
I’ll give you the shirt off my back if you need to get warm
The world is in need of a much better feeling
Don’t be scared to reach out for my help
I’ll sure be asking for yours

Step by step
Unchartered territory is what we get
Everyone’s story’s got a different end
Nobody’s figured it out
Take your time
It’s not a race towards the finish line
Take a deep breath and it’ll all be fine
A few mistakes are allowed

Take it for granted
You need me I’ll be there
I’ll give you the shirt off my back if you need to get
Warm up your hands on the fire you’re feeling
Inside you the signs of you healing have you asking for more

The world is in need of a much better feeling
Don’t be scared to reach out for my help
I’ll sure be asking for yours
