Watch The World Unfold (Gaelynn Lea Cover)

Details

Description

Running Red Lights had the opportunity to attend the CD Baby DIY Musician Conference in Chicago in October 2016. It was an encouraging and informative experience. However, nothing was more provoking and inspiring as watching the performance of celtic/folk violinist/singer and NPR Tiny Desk Concert Contest winner, Gaelynn Lea. Once back home in Toronto, while in the midst of a rehearsal, we began to jam on a song of hers titled 'Watch The World Unfold'. It is in her honour we give you our version of this incredible song. Lyrics and links to her music enclosed. Enjoy!

Pushing up, pushing up
Through the dirt just like a seed
But you’re never quite a flower
You feel more just like a weed

Driving through, driving through
You want to know where you are going
But the windshield’s always dirty
And you never get to see

What makes you think that you’ll ever get there?
What makes you think you deserve to know?
Who are you really, are you so important?
Take a look around and watch the world unfold
Watch the world unfold, watch the world unfold

Need advice, need advice
You have no clue what you’re doing
Moral compass it is spinning
And identity unhinged

Where to turn, where to turn?
There are so many opinions
And they’re all a little different
And the outlook’s getting dim

What makes you think that you’ll ever get there?
What makes you think you deserve to know?
Who are you really, are you so important?
Take a look around and watch the world unfold
Watch the world unfold, watch the world unfold

Pushing up, pushing up
Through the dirt just like a seed
But you’re never quite a flower
You feel more just like a weed
