It took 4 days away to make this possible... makes one wonder. Walking away sounds simple enough but only if it were that simple, only time will tell but that takes courage, leaving it to time, it's change we fear, the uncertainty... but in reality, no one knows tomorrow, so it appears with unintentional change we are fine, it's intentional change we fear... have courage, find strength in your truth and walk away. 

Something keeps us going. Everything is for a while, everything comes to pass, but something keeps us going. Everyone one of us. Is it because i know your name? or because i know you came?... something keeps us going.

I wrote this song a few months after I got into Singapore. It was immediately received and interpreted as a love song :) and actually that is what it is but the relationship is between man and his environment... though i must say this seemed to be lost on most listeners. :)

The old guard refusing to let go fo the reigns. Under different guises, they find a a reason to stay on, handing power over one to another, no change really. The new generation, fully capable of making their own mistakes but also fully capable of taking the world to the next level are not given the opportunity. In the business world, change of guards is critical to continued success. Succession planning focusing on ensuring there is a ready pool of generational leaders ready to take over when the current generation can no longer play the role. But in politics, that seems like a distant dream. That requires a long term view which most politicians can't really commit to given the 'termed' nature of the 'opportunity' they've been given by being elected or by managing to get themselves into the position.... the story is old but the pain and lost dreams should never be forgotten.
