“Lost but Found in the Sierra”
(roots reggae / Jam Rock vibe)
Verse 1
Headed up the Sierra with the sunrise glow,
Dust on the tires and nowhere to go,
Pines dancing easy in the mountain breeze,
Clouds roll by while I’m talking to the trees.
Campfire crackle and a river running slow,
No clock, no worries, just letting it flow,
Jam Rock playing from the old truck stereo,
Feeling every heartbeat in the afterglow.
Chorus
Trippin’ while the trees and mountains sway,
Lost in the moment but I found my way,
Jam Rock singing through the end of the day,
Roots in my soul and I’m okay.
High in the Sierra where the wild winds play,
Stars all above and my troubles fade away,
Getting lost, getting found, that’s the price we pay,
One love, one life, let the music stay.
Verse 2
Hollow rocks echo with the sound of the rain,
Easy weather washing worries from my brain,
Cedars lean gently like they’re keeping time,
To the reggae rhythm and the mountain chime.
Smoke from the fire curling into the night,
Moon over granite shining silver and bright,
Friends all laughing underneath the Milky Way,
Giving thanks for another blessed day.
Bridge
Whoa-oh, don’t need no map tonight,
The stars and the songs make everything right,
Whoa-oh, let Jah guide my soul,
Among the Sierra peaks where the rivers roll.
Final Chorus
Trippin’ while the trees and mountains sway,
Jam Rock vibrations carrying me away,
Thought I was lost but I found my place,
With the mountain wind and amazing grace.
Sierra calling and I’m feeling alive,
Roots and rhythm keeping hope inside,
Getting lost just to see what remains,
One love forever in the mountain rain.
Style inspiration: classic roots reggae with a slightly modern Jam Rock feel, something that would fit between Bob Marley and SOJA with acoustic guitar, skanking rhythm guitar, organ, and warm harmonies.
