This is just the audio.

Here's the lyrics (feel free to sing along):

Any minute now, my ship is coming in

I'll keep checking the horizon

I'll stand on the bow, feel the waves come crashing

Come crashing down down down, on me

And you say, be still my love

Open up your heart

Let the light shine in

But don't you understand

I already have a plan

I'm waiting for my real life to begin

When I awoke today, suddenly nothing happened

But in my dreams, I slew the dragon

And down this beaten path, and up this cobbled lane

I'm walking in my old footsteps, once again

And you say, just be here now

Forget about the past, your mask is wearing thin

Let me throw one more dice

I know that I can win

I'm waiting for my real life to begin

Any minute now, my ship is coming in

I'll keep checking the horizon

And I'll check my machine, there's sure to be that call

It's gonna happen soon, soon, soon

It's just that times are lean

And you say, be still my love

Open up your heart, let the light shine in

Don't you understand

I already have a plan

I'm waiting for my real life to begin

I don't have any words right now- I'm not even sure why I am posting anything in a comment, even.Anyway... Sorry I've been gone. I have insane things happening and, when the dust settles. I'll let you see the aftermath of the storm I like to call my life.

You know what they say about a watched horizon. :P.. Waiting for your ship to come in will leave you in a perpetual state of waiting.You just have to stop waiting and start living. "Just Be Here Now" ..And when you do, you will find that the ship was there all along and that all it took for you to see it was to change your perspective. "Be still my Love, Open up your heart Let the light shine in" ~☜❤☞~

I've had chronic illness for 10 years and 3 years ago I became critical and bed bound. Every morning I wake up and suddenly nothing happens. Every night in my dreams I'm slaying this DRAGON! Waiting for my REAL LIFE to begin.
