My wife owns a yoga studio.
Saturday at 10:30 is a class known by those who attend as "Yoga Gone Wild".
About a dozen regulars (sometimes 15-18) who rib each other for the entire hour and 15 minutes...
Cutting up, telling jokes, laughing at and with each other.
It is a very irreverant yoga class.
My wife uses pretty hip playlists during her class (she's way cooler than me).
She decided she wanted a playlist that would included everybody's name.

Brandy
Proud Mary
Tell Laura I Love Her
Susie Q

... that kind of thing.

The one name she could not match (find) in a song was Eric.
Google it... there aren't any...

So... I wrote one for her (or, actually.. for Eric).

It's a song about finding your dreams right in front of you.

Hope you enjoy it. (Eric did)


ERIC, WHADDAYA SAY?

you always had the wildest of dreams
some crazy new idea every week or two it seems
to buy yourself some old boat.. to fix up some old loft
we'd just laugh, pretending, you just might pull it off

eric, where'd you go.. eric, where'd you land
eric, did you see it through.. did you make your stand
did you live out that dream.. did you find that perfect life
did you save the world from darkness by sharing your light
eric, whaddya say.. did it go your way
eric, whaddya say.. did it go your way

you were gonna backpack from amsterdam to spain
and climb some silly mountain, so the whole world knew your name
then make your way to hollywood to grace the silver screen
and write the greatest novel new york had ever seen

eric, where'd you go.. eric, where'd you land
eric, did you see it through.. did you make your stand
did you live out that dream.. did you find that perfect life
i heard tell of a son or two and a lovely wife
eric, whaddya say.. did it go your way
eric, whaddya say.. did it go your way

did you live out that dream.. did you find that perfect life
i heard tell of a son or two and a lovely wife
eric, whaddya say.. did it go your way
eric, whaddya say.. did it go your way
