about

Green Lights is about pushing through after the darkness of depression, about everything just falling into place.

lyrics

When the morning came I felt alive
I felt that life and karma were both on my side
Chance and possibility were both on the rise
And forces that once were hindering were now riding by
Flanking me with good intentions

I turned the radio on
All the bad news had all got up and gone
Wars had all been won and nothing going on today
All the roadworks and the crashes gone
Everybody safe and happy

It felt like all the fight had gone
The storm ahead was dead and gone
The road was long, but with green lights all the way

I put my car in drive
It started first time and just came alive
Ready for the journey of another life
No one causing traffic jams or taking lives
Saw it with my own two eyes

I felt like all the weight had gone
The way ahead was straight and long
I'll take it all, there's green lights all the way

It don't feel rough against my hand, it feels so far away
It feels like love, that old black dog
It’s still so far away

So now I’m on my way
No conspiracies to slow me down or get in the way
Planets are aligning now the other way
I'm flying down this mudslide to a better day
Breaking in a sunshine morning

I have no time for wondering
The universe is crumbling
I woke up to green lights all the way.
