Terrance Day Newsletter - Winter Part 2

Greetings,

It's good to be back in Michigan. I could complain about
plenty of things, but it would be petty stuff. I have a
nice schedule of gigs that I'm thankful for. For starters,
I'm thankful to be a Musician. Regardless of the economy
or attitude in Metro Detroit I still can write songs. As
long as I keep doing what I do it can build momentum
towards greater achievements.

Being in Metro Detroit feels like a giant college campus.
Most people are pinching penny's (like college students),
and trying to figure out what to do with their lives. We're
all still learning, preparing for the future, and wondering
what the future will be like.

Back in college at Western Michigan University, I was
singing in a rock band. I started a record label, and was
writing songs. After graduation, when I got a very good
position in a corporate job, I got fired because I couldn't
stay awake during a meeting. That's why I'm not working a
regular job. That incident put me on a completely different
path towards a simpler life. However, that doesn't mean
things are always easier. I'm just not afraid of getting
fired anymore. I know who the boss is (hint: it's not me).

Everyone has their own choices to make. Some just give too
much of their power to someone else. I guess that is why I
don't like any government, companies, or person having too
much power over anyone else.

I wrote a new song recently and thought I'd share the
lyrics with you. Some of you might connect with this
in a personal way. It took me about 12 or 13 years to get
these words out.

-Woke Up With The Sun

I wanted to show you
How I feel what's on my mind
And all this confusion
Gets broken down to one big lie
But I know there's a purpose
For what we've been through
And what I've learned
As I walk across this bridge
Before it burns

And I'm breaking the stronghold
that you had when I was down
and I'm coming to the surface
to catch my breath before I drown
As life goes on I know
I'll understand more of what you
Meant to me
as I live my dreams

(Chorus)
Woke up with the sun
Right where I belong
Should have known better
You were selling me lies
Should have known better

Now I'm taking my reason
And sanity before it's gone
And I packed up my suitcase
With memories that I might want
and it's a long road to healing
but I'm still alive and I'm
stronger than before
as I close the door

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)
Forgiveness is yours
so I can move on
and your love is still yours
to do what you want
I'm gonna take a deep breath
Gonna feel everything
And then let it all go
When I'm done with the pain

(Repeat Chorus)
Should have known better just to tell you goodbye
(End)
