lyrics

When the sun set on the western shore
one year ago today
You acknowledged that you needed more
one year ago today
You knew just what you had to do
Could it be much worse than what you’ve been through
But some strong tide was pulling you
One year ago today

You were fighting hard to stay afloat
one year ago today
You were captain of your own lifeboat
one year ago today
And when it came to sink or swim
You looked hard at your own horizon
And you struck out for the land therein
one year ago today.

Did you think it was too close to call
one year ago today
Did you think that you’d be here at all
one year ago today
And when your feet hit solid ground
did you take a breath and look around
You had no idea what could be found
one year ago today

Did you think that you would come this far
one year ago today
That your path had its own guiding star
one year ago today
Do you know you’re an amazing sight
just to see you standing in the light
How’d you know that it was worth the fight
One year ago today

Do you know you’re an amazing sight
Just to see you shining in the light
How’d you know that you were worth the fight
one year ago today

Mandy Troxel

"With a folky voice of clarity that reminds one of early Emmylou Harris, Troxel navigates the waters of love lost and found with songs that offer memorable lines, but no easy answers." - Bill Mallonee
