i am your kayak (game of the year edition)

here's a song about zain (the whisperer from no sleep for the sleepless). he fell through the ice once. very scary stuff. now he has a foldable kayak. they aren't really related, but through song, we all are.
no screams this week, went for something a little softer. really had fun with the challenge of this song. keeping things simple but marvelously complex.
thanks for the support as of late yall, def been exciting to work on stuff this intimate audience

winter in the valley of the mother of god
little did i know the ice would never
hold me up forever
i fell straight through
the look on my face my friends later told
we made our mistakes, but me i was ever
bold as brass
how long could this cold last?
you came to me in the summer light
through the glory of God in the morning bright
take me to the water, let the river roll back
You be the paddle and I am your kayak
winters come and gone, all the flowers in bloom
now i’ll show the river just what i can
do with my new toy (it’s a kayak)
glide across the water with all of my friends
we’ll head out west till we come back east again
hope this never ends
I made a lot of mistakes, I made a lot of mistakes
In the freezing lakes
I made a lot of mistakes, I made a lot of mistakes
But the summer awakes
And we won't fall in again
No, we won't fall in again
(you came to me in the summer light
through the glory of God in the morning bright
take me to the water, let the river roll back
You be the paddle and I am your kayak)
