about

Just imagine the lyrics are there. This song is about finally making a name for yourself in the world.

lyrics

Alana is walking out my front door
She has a worry deep in her smile
Postcards and tickets line the table
Houses on dairies, the view is for miles

Alana is climbing the branches again
Life here in Bloomfield, or what’s left of it
She sleeps in a gallery of unspoken design
Unrivaled in beauty, misshapen a fit

Someday you will be
All you’ve wanted to be
A snapshot on a screen
Or a friend who still believes

escape this county’s grip
a novel kind of trip
to paint the world you see
and to fall in love
get lost and have some fun
put your heart at peace


Jordanne is sitting alone in her room
The news that has killed her, just might save her life
This sickness is not her, and she knows it well
Quivering voice, but her spirits held high

A summer of fighting, with needle and sword
Shortened breath hangs on her every word
But she is triumphant, as she’s always been
And now into August, her new life begins

Someday you will sleep
Without wires or machines
Your nightmares return to dreams
Love will kill the disease

Drove the world around
So long my car broke down
To celebrate with you
And this world turns fast
So don’t you dare look back
you're already on the move

And sunday is crippling my memory of you
But winter will end, and then we will March through

Someday I will grow
and find the strength i behold
the lens remains the same but
the film has yet to show

and it's incipient
what just a year has meant
i only speak the truth
we'll all find peace we crave
but until that day
i'll sing a song for you

about

Leland Bailey San Luis Obispo, California

It all started in June 2012. Me, a beer, and a piano. I cranked out music to lyrics I hadn't touched in years. By the end of the week, I had finished my very first song. Of course, the story begins long before that.
