From the recording Family Portraits (Volume 1)
A love song of encouragement to my lovely step-daughter, Lotiella, who recently had to negotiate a disappointment in the form of a pivot. With love and belief. x
Lyrics
Up In The Saddle (Again)
Some things are meant to be
Or not to be
To happen
The question now is
How you reconcile yourself
Be happy
They say you’ve only grown up
Once you’ve
Experienced some bad luck
And said “Oh shucks!”
Landed face first in the muck
Dusted yourself off again and then got right back up
Climb back into the saddle
Ride into tomorrow
Through the pain and through the sorrow
To the other
To the better side
Somewhere far from here
Further than horizons
There’s a place for you and you will find it
A place for you to shine
Some things are realistic
Others are just fantastic
The question now is
What you do to
Pivot
They say that good things come to Those who wait and that’s true but
You make your own luck too
You have enough oomph in you
The world is a big place and there is so much you can do
Climb back into the saddle
Ride into tomorrow
Through the pain and through the sorrow
To the other
To the better side
Somewhere far from here
Further than horizons
There’s a place for you and you will find it
Talent is a triangle or a pyramid
And maybe you and I live somewhere in the midst
Of ordinary folk, not a bad place to be
There’s plenty of room to do here
You can be fulfilled
Jut look at me
Climb back into the saddle
Ride into tomorrow
Through the pain and through the sorrow
To the other
To the better side
Somewhere far from here
Further than horizons
There’s a place for you and you will find it
A place for you to shine
Climb back into the saddle
Ride into tomorrow
Through the pain and through the sorrow
To the other
To the better side
Somewhere far from here
Further than horizons
There’s a place for you and you will find it
You will find it
You will find it
