Details below lyrics.

Talking with the wind
I hear your voice again
A call I've long ignored
I wasn't ready before

Wearied by my rage
And all the wars I've waged
Here I am, arms outreached
I just want to believe

I won't run anymore
I won't run

I will live my life through you
I will give my life to you

Through cascading tears
I see my aimless years
I've run, I've run
Now, I'll give in

Bridge and Chorus repeat
------------------------------------------------

I'm not the most spiritual man.  It's taken me years to realize this, and now that I have it's removed the proverbial weight from my shoulders.  

Beforehand, I was genuinely concerned why faith and Higher Powers came so much easier for everyone else than it did for me.  This song was born out of one of those envy periods, when I was trying to imagine what it would be like to surrender blissfully into the Divine.

As the title says, this is a remix to improve the audio for a prior upload.  The vocals were WAY too loud and it threw everything off.  Hopefully you enjoy the song whether you've heard it before or not.

Some disclaimers from the prior upload:

I recently took down an even older version that for some reason was the most active vid on my page, with over 22,000 views and a dozen or so new ones every week.  I have to admit that I'm befuddled as to why it garnered so much attention (Is "fingertips" a common YT search?  Was it posted on a site somewhere?) and I really wanted to keep it alive but it just wasn't representative of the work I'm doing now.  Hopefully those who were watching that version will find this one easily enough, and if you happen to know why it was so active please share!

As always, I must offer up some thanks to the friendly artists over on Harmony Central's songwriting forum for their help in tightening the lyric and melody.

I also need to thank a new friend, Matt from channel skimmingstones1, for digging through the archives and motivating me to finish this project.  I'd strongly encourage anyone reading this to check out his channel, particularly the sublime tune, "Migrating Birds."

Nate Logston was also kind enough to offer some mid-project constructive feedback that helped me through a couple trouble spots.
