New Light, Same Sky

Packed my life in a dusty van
Sun slid low as the drive began
Waved goodbye to a cluttered street
Traded noise for a slower beat

Curtains dance where the breeze moves slow
New walls, same shadows start to grow

Still learning how to breathe out here
Different light, but the sky’s still clear
Street signs change, but the silence stays
Moving on in gentle ways

Shoes off at the wooden floor
Fans spin tales I’ve not heard before
Stirring rice as the day turns gold
Finding calm in the way things fold

Night comes soft with a jasmine trace
I'm not lost, just in a new place

Still learning how to breathe out here
Different light, but the sky’s still clear
Street signs change, but the silence stays
Moving on in gentle ways

No signs told me when to let go
But I feel it now, like the rivers flow
Not escaping, just shifting view
Finding (yeah, yeah)
Finding what’s old in something new

Still learning how to breathe out here
Different light, but the sky’s still clear
Street signs change, but the silence stays
Moving on in gentle ways

New light, same sky
And I don’t need to ask why
