It HAS been a long time coming! ‘Calm Places’ grew from a time in my life where I felt completely and utterly knocked down. I wanted to write this song to encourage others see the importance of stopping, chilling, loving, accepting, being – WITHOUT having to go through something awful to realise it....
It's been a long time coming
I'm far more loving than I was the other day
I've had to let the dust build up
This wasn't how I pictured the change to happen
I blamed everything
Now I'm figuring it out
It's been a long time coming
It's been a long time coming
Yeah I'm starting to notice the spaces
I found the calm places
Shut out the noise, and be with my soul
Learning control of my body
I never saw the poison ivy grow
Pull up the roots and make it let go
I thought that everything had to be done now
Then an arrow shot me down
Now I'm feeling my way round
Heaven looked strange
I never knew I could appreciate what it means to die
Hello angel in disguise
You've been a long time coming
You've been a long time coming
I’m a slave to my body
But I keep it alive
If only that care was taken with my mind
