Feels Like Home

For Felix

I love the way you make me feel when you hug me
I know I’m not alone
I love the way you make me feel when you’re with me
Cause it feels like home
It feels like
Home

I can feel and cry freely
I don’t have to hold it in
I can rage and scream and yell
And it won’t sound like a din
I don’t have to pretend
Cause my mask is coming off

With you I’m fee
To be me

Why can’t I cry?
Why must my sun just keep on shining
Clouds refuse to pass by
And my heart just keeps on pining
Fills me up, every port
Overflows till there’s just drowning
Neverending always more
Head can’t think for pounding
A flash of red
My blood just keeps on raging
And that flush of dread
Many eyes that seek engaging

Till you’re just there
A touch a sound my anchor
A show of care
Around me now my harbour
And I know I’m held
Your arms, no place safer
Such release, heart felt
Sun returns from its shelter

I love the way you make me feel when you hug me
I know I’m not alone
I love the way you make me feel when you’re with me
Cause it feels like home
It feels like
Home

About the Song

Celebrate the birth of the Sun

Song – Celebrate the Birth of the Sun

For Mew (Happy Birthday!)

Celebrate the birth of the Sun
Lighting up his path hard won
Destined to rise and rule the sky
Chasing dreams as he soars so high

Smile radiates through everything
Encouraging the birds to sing
Clothed in colours splendour full
Even a glimpse is wonderful

We celebrate your day of birth
And every day you’ve been on this Earth
Wishing you many more to come
Happy birthday Mew, our Radiant One

About the creation of the song

Always Being Born

For Wendy with love

When my body’s tired
And my soul seems sore
And it feels like I
Can dance no more
And there’s many rugged miles
Just to reach your door
I look within
I look within
And I shed my skin
I shed my skin

I see Venus on the horizon
I sing my soul to ground
Draw down the sparkling starlight
To light me all around
I clothe myself in moonlight
I draw warmth from the dawn
Like the ever-expanding universe
I delight in my new form
Cause Like the ever-expanding universe
I am always being born
