Lyrics:

...so what do i do now?

sunrise, i’ll set it into motion,
pick up right where i left off.
i’ll make up for all the time i’ve lost.

okay. maybe not.
daybreak, i’ll make amends
for yesterday’s twenty four failed attempts.
now i'm afraid i’ll lose my way
before another day ends.

today, i'll survive.
tomorrow, i’ll make sense of my life.

it’s just a matter of time.
our stories will keep us alive.
it’s just a matter of time.

midday, i’ve grown a little restless.
i set sail, searching for more.
but the strength of the sea
is tamed by the shore.

someday, we'll build a lighthouse.
our sacred ground will cast out any doubt.
we’ll feel so sure about our place in this mystery.

God knows, i’ll need guarantees,
certain certainties
and concrete science.

please, uncover my eyes.
as the future unfolds.

it’s getting late, i’m losing heart.
maps are useless in the dark.

new lines on my face
honor every step of the way.
no blade of grass is out of place.

sunset, it dawns on me.
maybe it’s all necessary;
the holding on, the letting go..
now take a deep breath.
let’s get some rest.

I really hope Ryan knows just how much every single piece of music he releases touches so many people around the world. I'm sitting here, from the other side of the earth, from where he makes music, and I've never heard an artist whose every song has personally resonated with me. And overture iii is no exception

[ohifonlyx]

I almost forgot how exhilarating it is to discover a new sleeping at last song for the first time. This song is like a breathe of fresh air and it just filled me with so much hope and peace in a way that I've been missing lately. What a beautiful way to wake up before bed.

[livvworm]

Listening to this in the middle of night seems appropriate

[leana]

I listened to his podcast where he explains how he creates his song and he said all the themes of atlas III are hidden in the song. He also said theres a morse code (he played it in the podcast) that corresponds to 3 words of 3 themes… after a little research i found Solidarity, Self, Selfless ! Also he said the last lyrics ‘Now take a deep breath, Let's get some rest’ is a clue for the next song which i guess is Asleep!

“maybe it's all necessary; the holding on, the letting go. now, take a deep breath, let's get some rest”
been having a pretty rocky year and that's all I needed to hear.

<< *_Today I survive_*
*_Tomorrow make sense of my life_* >>

Everyone out there, *"tomorrow will be beautiful"* and *"you were meant for amazing things"* . Take care of yourself. *"you are loved more than you know"* :) 💚

[WitcreamMedia]

I feel like Ryan has some sort of spyware installed in our souls and he makes songs out of it.
Coz damn, I've never encountered a SAL song that doesn't hit you right in the gut. Beautiful!

[maciejk]

Return of Atlas is something I really need in my life right now, as I am experiencing something similar to value crisis. I've been a big fan for 4 years now and this song is a beautiful beginning to something new and special.

[AnneCuthbert]

This song is what I need now!! I am suffering from a health issue and I am slowly losing hope but this song tells me don't lose hope!
Sleeping at last you are my drug!

[rosieavocadoe]

Ryan never fails to make music that speaks to your soul in such a graceful and kind way that also offers the opportunity of vulnerability.

[ippolito]

Woke up at 5 am in the morning to listen to this masterpiece. I don't regret it 😊

[ippolito]

1:08 okay, maybe not I LOVE THIS LINE SO MUCH AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY 🥺 EVERYTHING IN THIS SONG IS JUST *PERFECT*

[rukikirabbit]

The uncertainty in the song's lyrics remind me so much of Six from the ennagram album. I love them. It feels like a comforting hug on my soul and heart saying to me everyone feels this way at times, we'll get through it and move forward.

[wordswithdragons]

been a fan of sleeping at last since 2013. so grateful to have another atlas album beginning in my life - a big reason this year will definitely be better than the last

[littlesparrow]

I forgot how much I missed new Sleeping At Last music, the last minute had me CRYING

[roushington]

Finally, this what I've been waiting for for 2 years! So good to have another Atlas project underway. My favorite music series.

[JustMe-rnuf]

Heard this most beautiful song at the very end, on Greys Anatomy this past Thursday, March 3, 2022. The entire episode was moving, with many highs and lows. The words from the song, Awake, brought every struggle and emotion, to a gentle and peaceful end.
Beautiful and heartwarming...thank you.😢🇨🇦

[ippolito]

This song is the answer to all the question that haunted me during this summer. It's just a blessing 🥺 Thank you Ryan, and thank you TIM too, this lyrics video is beautiful!

[taraltaher]

I'm heading to my last highschool exam in 2 hours.

"It's just a matter of time.." till i transform into a new life in uni.
The song inspired me so much to go get it done! Ryan never fails to touch our souls with his creations. Bless his kind soul!

+ Thank you for uploding this! I was waiting for someone to do so since I recieved the SAL's email saying that it's out. Keep up the good work!

[saintpoethefather]

its so easy to forget how awe-inspiring each song of his is, it makes me feel so calm and at peace of the world
