about

Music and Lyrics by Dan Frechette. Violin Arrangement by Laurel Thomsen.

lyrics

I took all my shortcomings and I made them into something
By seeing a bright future in the baddest of times.
Some places I got fired, other places still desired.
Nothing much matters if there’s no one on your side.

Wide is the future.
Tall is the saddle.
Fast is the big horse
This pain of mine will ride on.
Good are the people who will help me through the fire.
I have seen the wreckage and I’m out the other side.

Those bills were there for paying.
I was leaving, they were staying.
There was nothing much I wanted but escaping with my pride.
The preacher told me, “son, just remember who you are.”
I have seen the wreckage and I’m out the other side.

There’s places we can go to be alone in nature
and heal through the silence when we reach the other side.
Take away all longing from you.
See the morning light in plain view.
The valley and the mountain are both on the other side.
