Melissa

The wooden box, the steel strings

The quiet truth the morning brings

I sit alone and hum along

Just trying to write myself a cool song

Melissa, let the worry fade

And rest inside the space you made

Hold on to the moment, steady and slow

Watch where the rhythm and the melody go

Tracing the themes of the life that I’ve spun

Warming my soul in the golden sun

It’s a gentle tune, it’s a quiet release

Singing myself to a place of peace

I look back on the miles I’ve crossed

The harmony found and the tempo lost

But every chord has brought me here

Ringing out so bright and clear

I’m learning how to stand my ground

And find my own voice in the sound

Hold on to the moment, steady and slow

Watch where the rhythm and the melody go

Tracing the themes of the life that I’ve spun

Warming my soul in the golden sun

It’s a gentle tune, it’s a quiet release

Singing myself to a place of peace

I don't need a crowded room to hear my voice ring true

Just the wood and the wire, and a sky of open blue

These are the themes that I carry inside

Nothing to prove and nowhere to hide

So I'll hold on to the moment, steady and slow

Watch where the rhythm and the melody go

Tracing the themes of the life that I’ve spun

Warming my soul in the golden sun

Yeah, it’s a cool song, a quiet release

Melissa has finally found her own peace
