Lyrics

As Life becomes more uncertain, and the future outlook bleak I call out for a new navigation, a new way to seak Answers to mysteries that live just underneath On the edge of sight, in the flash of an eye a truth that lies beneath

I call out for a new navigation, a new life of my own Seeking Life's purpose, to call myself back home. Life challenges can meet the call, can bring the light around Can give just a little guidance, for this life and beyond

A bright and lovely smile is all I ask, to pull me through to bring me back home to the harbor of my soul

Life challenges can meet the call, can bring the light around can shine the light and light the fire and call a welcoming sound. To hear the voice, however quiet with calling never grand Sense and truth is all that's needed, but rarely really planned.

To hear the voice, however quiet with footsteps soft as sand convinces more than a boistrous rumble crashing on the land More convincing yet is the compass deep inside That quietly can guide us when we have no place to hide

A bright and lovely smile is all I ask, to pull me through to bring me back home to the harbor of my soul

to bring me back home to the harbor of my soul

This is such a rich interpretation of the harbor skirmish. The lyrics are well crafted. (I really like footsteps soft as sand) Makes you think!

The hook line is excellent - "the harbor of my soul" - I love the visual of bringing oneself back to a safe harbor, maybe with the beacon of a lighthouse there to warm the view. Lovely song!

Loving "I call out for a New Navigation" (would be a great band name...) Even the best sailors benefit from the local knowledge of a harbormaster. And if a bright and lovely smile will guide us, let it be! Nicely done vox and uke.

I really love the direction we went with this prompt. Your lyric conveys a heartfelt and honest feeling sentiment that is relatable. I like the introspective feel and vulnerability in the sentiment you shared. Your musical approach in flowing melody deliver the lyrics perfectly. Great job on the skirmish.
