about

Title track + 1st single from Leona Burkey's "GROUNDRUSH" (set for release here Nov 25, 2022). A song about bucking up against time with wilful optimism.

lyrics

It’s a groundrush
It’s a heart crush
Don’t jump outta planes much
But I hear it’s true
You’re so high up got so much time
You think you do
Til the moment you don’t
Comes crushin’ and rushin’ up at you

Corealis
I forgot to account for the curve
Corealis
You’re never too old to learn

Got my calibrations
Calculations done
It’s a long shot
But not my first or my last one
This old world only spins one way
Mathematics
Might just save the day

Corealis
I forgot to account for the curve
Corealis
You’re never too old to learn

I’m stepping out
Fast on my feet
Gotta stay just ahead
Of what’s catching up with me
May all the saints & angels above
Steady up my breath inside my lungs
Calm my shaking hands
Lay your protection o’er my plans

Corealis
I forgot to account for the curve
Corealis
You’re never too old to learn

It’s a groundrush
It’s a heart crush
Don’t like to complain much
But I know it’s true
