Today I saw the word "Restitution" and I remembered the challenge for this week, Write a song using some words you invented. I thought it would be fun to add a little "arrest" in there! But not the arrest you might normally think of, because the word doesn't always have a negative meaning. :)

I only use the made up word for the title, but the sentiment of both words is there, if you look for it.

Arrest: to catch suddenly and engagingly Restitution: an act of restoring or a condition of being restored

In my last song I used a whistle sample and virtual instruments, and I decided I wanted to try a little live whistling myself... and just only use my voice and acoustic guitar... so a full contrast.

I am not completely happy with the mixing and my playing, whistling, or singing... But this is not about perfection! I enjoyed the process and I am happy with the result. I hope some of you could enjoy it, too. Thanks for the listen.

Time took from me So many things

Taken all my dreams Washed them down the stream

Yet now’s the time for more Yeah now’s the chance for more I need more

Wake at dawn with me To see so many things

I’m running all the time Now I’m walking towards your shine

Yes now’s the time for more Yeah now’s our chance for more We need more

Could I see? When something so good’s In front of me

Will I see? Can I see? What should I see?

You arrest me With your energy I want to see But I can’t believe

You arrest me With your energy What do I see? Can I believe?

Time gave to me So many things

The light on the shore A wish for something more

And I won’t stall anymore No I can’t wait anymore Anymore

Oh if you could see What was In front of me

Will you see? What I can see What could we be?

Oh You arrest me With your energy I want to see But I can’t believe

You arrested me With your energy What do I see? Can I believe?

You arrest me You arrest me

You arrest me With your energy Now I believe Can you believe?

You arrest me With your energy I want to see I want to see

You arrest me You arrest me
