CLEAR
Copyright 2010 by Judy Unger
Not long ago I was a child, then a young girl,
now I’m even older
A woman so wise, I realize
Life went by quickly, I blinked my eyes
When I grew up, I became sad
Life beat me down; I felt broken
Though it may seem a little extreme
I turned my life around, to follow my dream
I carried on; I lived with heartache
I was so numb; I wasn’t awake
It all changed, I let go of fear
beautiful music I could hear
I opened my eyes, life became clear
As I grow old, I’ll keep my smile
All of my tears gave me compassion
I was asleep; my pain was so deep
I turned my life around; with joy I now weep
I carried on, inside I wept
I cried for the losses I could not accept
It all changed, I let go of fear
beautiful music I could hear
I opened my eyes, life became clear
I celebrate; it’s never too late
To turn your life around
No reason to wait
I carried on, I lived with heartache
I was so numb, I wasn’t awake
It all changed, I let go of fear
beautiful music I could hear
I opened my eyes, life became clear
When my life ends, I won’t be afraid
I’m grateful for the gift I was given
I celebrate, it’s never too late
I turned my life around, got up off the ground
happiness I found
No reason to wait
My lyrics in development. They were written with the fact that I knew my father was dying.
My song “Clear” was composed exactly one year ago.
I feel like my life is a musical. For three decades, I lived with a lot of sadness, but when I rediscovered my music and songwriting – I found joy again. My songs played throughout my day and told the story of my life.
My song Clear was particularly inspiring. I might have achieved the clarity I wrote about in my song, but it took far more than that to change my life.
Overcoming and letting go of fear was my greatest challenge. But I did it. I was able to move forward to change my life.
Wish me luck in 2013, as I embark on a new life. I am living on my own for the first time after ending my 31-year marriage.
