This is a very special song for me, a tribute to my late mother

LYRICS

Dawn is rising, there’s a mist in the distance
Dispersing slowly
I thought I caught a glimpse of you dancing
Behind a fallen tree
Was that you that was smiling at me?
You looked just like you did in those early years
From photos you showed me as I sat on your knee
All the pain that came later had gone
And you looked to be happy with what you’d become
A free spirit mobile again
Free from that bed, free from the chains
You’ll never again be cut off from the world
You’re free to watch over me whenever you want
Free to point me I the right direction
Free to calm me down when I blow
Ma there’s something I want you to know
I can feel you walk beside of me where ever I go

So go play out all those dreams
That you had inside your head
When you were trapped in that bed for so many years
Play out all those scenarios
You imagined, looking out of your window
You’re trapped no more
You’re free to do whatever you want

Now you get to watch my life in real time
I hope you’re proud
I hope you find in heart
The comfort to know whatever happens Ma I’m gonna be fine
Now you know my life’s on track
And I’m sure you’ll know
When it’s time to come back and check upon me again
But for now, it’s time to break the habit Ma and think of yourself

So go play out all those dreams
That you had inside your head
When you were trapped in that bed for so many years
Play out all those scenarios
You imagined, looking out of your window
You’re trapped no more
You’re free to go wherever you want

More about The Turtle Project:

The Turtle Project started out as exactly that, a project, a songwriting project that was born from years of being a musician in many bands, doing countless gigs, naturally gathering experience and inspiration until, one day, I stumbled upon the fact that I could actually put those experiences and many others into words. The composing aspect grew from that into what it is today ...
