lyrics

Take it slow, and don’t get in your way
keep it movin’ at the pace of every weather
look within, and don’t forget you are surrounded by the wind
as it rushes in your lungs

oh Honey — you are born of the moon
precious cave, don’t forget there is unknown inside you
don’t turn away from yourself by bein’ like somebody else
you are tide crashin’ over and call of the mountains
and your darkest tunnels are where your light come from

So take it slow, what you long for’s on its way
don’t stop reachin’, taste the sound of every color
deep within, let your wild be uncaged
run with the wind and rush into its lungs

oh Honey — you are born of the moon
precious cave, don’t forget there is unknown inside you
don’t turn away from yourself by bein’ like somebody else
you are tide crashin’ over and call of the mountains
and your darkest tunnels are where your light come from
oh aim for the journey, and grow with the night
be brave in your loving, keep steady your sight

oh Honey — you are born of the moon
precious cave, don’t forget there is unknown inside you
don’t turn away from yourself
by bein’ like somebody else
don’t turn away…

Dreaming of an Old Tomorrow
by The Polish Ambassador

Dreaming of an Old Tomorrow demonstrates just why it’s so difficult to genre-fy David Sugalski’s music into one neat little box. Polish aims to unite all under one groove. Ayla Nereo
