lyrics

You pick yourself up off the floor for about the 88th time
You tell yourself you've got way more to give, just push and push you'll be fine

You wanna reach further you wanna run faster
You wanna sing louder you wanna fly higher
Racing up that ladder to the top
And everyone seems to be doing it better
What's wrong? You're cursed why's your life harder?
Hurry up you're running out of time

Darling won't you sit
Still
And stop
Just take a breath a deep deep breath
And wait
It's okay
Just pause
Your restless mind will learn to ease one day
Don't you worry

Step by step you're slowing down
You need to plug back in and recharge
But you don't think you've got any time to waste
You're already way behind as it is

But I can't wait till you realise
When you learn, when it's your mind
You're already whole as you are
There's really no race that you are part of
No clock that's set no ladder to climb
You're already where you need to be

Darling won't you un-
Understand
Your worth
Your endless magic mind and
Golden heart
You are enough
You are whole
Just learn to laugh and learn to give and love
Please just love...

Who you are
Who you're gonna be
Who you are
Who you are becoming

Love this version of Sweethearts. Every track takes you on a musical journey. The great musical connection of Kristin and Sam is outstanding and evident in the music. An album destined for many awards, great work. Looking forward to listening to the tunes performed live at the Perth International Jazz Festival. Mark Pearson
