The girl in this dream was at a crossroads in her life and didn't know which way to turn. A soul-searching type of song. This is an older recording which I will be re-doing.

As a refugee from the 60's and the coffee house era, I have been playing as a solo artist as well as in various duets, trios and bands from Canada to England, India, Nepal, USA, and places in between... played in classic rock, country and folk bands. I try to keep my songs as light and personal as possible in the acoustic genre. A lot of my songs speak on social issues and I try to relate to the common man/woman (like myself) and the things that are important in our journey thru this time span called life. The recording/production is not professional by any means. I usually try to do one-off takes and work around the tracks to enhance the sound in the limited time and equipment I have available. I hope some of these songs will touch a place in your heart or evoke a feeling of shared consciousness. All comments and critiques are welcome. All the best.

Story behind the song
This song came to me in a dream. A girl was standing in the middle of a crossroad and didn't know which way to turn. In the dream she was singing this song.When I awoke, the song was still playing in my head.
Lyrics
I'm standing at the crossroads of life I don't know where I'm going I can feel the winds of change But I don't know which way they're blowing I need someone to reach out to me Open my eyes so I can see I'm just a rose growing by the road of life Won't someone pick me before it's too late. I've been thru the course of my mind But I didn't find what I was seeking There were voices leading me on I didn't know what they were speaking Now I've come to a point in my life Where my soul longs to cease from all its strife I'm just a rose growing by the road of life Won't someone pick me before it's too late. I want to know Which way to go Won't someone show me the way. I can see the good and the bad But I don't know which way to follow Deep inside I'm feeling so sad Tho' on my face it doesn't show But I know there just has to be A place where I can grow wild and free I'm just a rose growing by the road of life Won't someone pick me before it's too late.
