Hello Anxiety from New Lyrics for a New Album

Posted by on February 6th 2025 @ 6:25 pm

How are you really?

Hello Anxiety,
I think we’ve chatted before,
When you reminded me of broken wings,
unfinished things, the silent sings I’d rather just ignore.

So sit down, rest your weary feet;
I know you’ve been pacing up and down my street.
Take the the time to settle in
and let me shut the door.

I’ll hold you …
Embrace you …
I’ll cradle all your fears, your hopes and all your tears.
I’ll wait here …
Right by you …
Breathe in and out together and watch the stormy weather.

Bless you, Anxiety, you are that part of me
always watching for the sky to fall.
My dear Anxiety, my restless busy bee,
let down your guard a bit and listen to the call:

We’re safe here, we have enough,
and God will guide us through the smooth and rough.
We’re safe here, we have enough,
and God will guide us through the smooth and rough.
_______

Note: This was a 2-day lyric, worked through on January 2nd & 3rd. I will have to see how it sets to music before deciding where and if any of the text will repeat, though there are stanzas that suggest that they might be verses, pre-chorus, chorus and coda.

Ryan's favorite starter ukulele: The Enya Nova U Concert Ukulele 23” on Amazon sounds great, is easy to play, in tune and nearly indestructable. "I left it in the car through the heat of summer to see what would happen, and it still plays beautifully."
