about

This song is also from 2012 and was inspired by the Battlestar Galactica novel _Destiny_, a story written by series star Richard Hatch where his character, Apollo, reflects on his life events and choices in the midst of yet another adventure. I really enjoy the resolution to his character's story. Some of us need a Sheba in our lives too, I think.

lyrics

My world has got a new wrinkle
That I don't understand
And it's making me crazy
I am not in control
That's a new place for me
It's so unbelievable
If you know me at all, you know I'm quite stable
I'm not really wild
At least not 'til today

But I've opened my eyes
To see what I want
To feel what is right
And not pay the price
Like I've done all my life

Every mountain I've ever climbed
Seems so small to me now
What was I so afraid of yesterday?
Not seeing the signs, not finding the words
That I should have said
Safer to let it go instead
And never think of what I might have known
Who I might have kissed
Who I could have loved

But I've opened my eyes
To see what I want
To feel what is right
And not pay the price
Like I've done all my life

My world has got a new wrinkle
That I think I might like
That might make me whole
The dark, bitter cloud that followed me closely
Is breaking apart
Blown away by an open heart
And come the day you might ever approach me
I will not be afraid
With open arms I will celebrate

'Cause I've opened my eyes
To see what I want
To feel what is right
And not pay a price
That I never owed
'Cause I have the right
To light up my soul.
