Second Wind Songtext
von Tracy Jane Comer

The ocean waves hello and then
The warm air blows a salty kiss
To welcome me back to my old home
Today there are no lists to check
No calls to make, no messages
No PCs, no place to go
Today it doesn′t matter much to me
If I'm living up to all that I could be
I′ve traded in the corporate scale
For lessons in indispensability


I pulled out the old daydreams
From that shoebox in the closet
Dusted them off and tried them on for size
And though they're worn and faded
And the style's a bit outdated
They′re still a perfect fit through all this time
′Cause now I know that dreaming is the key
That opens up our souls and sets us free
Tearing down the tower walls
And granting us a new reality

And in my dreams I'm running madly
In a one-man race
Laughing as the sweat runs down my face
Chasing the line, feeling the wind
Marking the time, breathing it in
Dodging the obstacles, picking up speed
Barely touching ground beneath my feet
Won′t slow down now, oh no
I can make it now
I've caught my second wind

Years have drizzled past
Sometimes slow and sometimes faster
And I′ve used them up thinking critically


And now a little wiser
Or perhaps just a bit tired
I think most things are just as they should be
And living seems enough for me today
I'll chase my dreams and laugh along the way
And if I reach the end I′ll find
Another goal, another line
Another dance, another song to play

And in my mind I'm running madly
In a one-man race
Laughing as the sweat runs down my face
Chasing the line, feeling the wind
Marking the time, breathing it in
Dodging the obstacles, picking up speed
Barely touching ground beneath my feet
Won't slow down now, oh no

Can′t slow down now
I can make it now
I′ve caught my second wind

My second wind
