“Sailing In the Sea” #newsonglyrics #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter #goingblind

 I wrote this after watching the movie ‘True Spirit’ on Netflix. I had been lost in a place I hadn’t been in before swinging in my yoga hammock. When I came back to the presence of my normal I realized I was very comfortably lost in the swinging in the dark with my eyes closed as a normal. I knew what to write after I saw Jesse’s story. I knew my body was pleasantly, comfortably accepting the new normal about to come and I embraced it. I wanted to share this but couldn’t figure out how to word it.

“Sailing In the Sea”

I sit here rocking

Though I know you’re still with me

I caught a moment when you weren’t 

I wasn’t scared for that time

Just lost in a beautiful place

I was sailing in the sea

Chorus

It’s like sailing in the sea

Just swinging here in my swing

Losing my sight is like

Sailing in the sea

Verse

I know now

Not to be afraid

It comes on so slowly and comfortably

It’s just like sailing in the sea

Mother Mary thank God I believe 

this voyage comes so easily

I know all my faith 

has brought me to this calm place

Chorus

It’s like sailing in the sea

Lost in a beautiful place

losing my sight

Is like sailing in the sea

Verse

And when the dark all happens

I’ll know I’m in a safe comfortable place

Cuz I feel it now 

Rocking in my swing with my eyes closed 

Bridge

I’m locked up in this feeling

I’m closed in this thought

I know I’m safe and secure

no matter what happens now

Chorus

It’s like sailing in the sea

Just swinging here in my swing

Losing my sight is like

Sailing in the sea
