Weary Eyes is a song about letting life unfold naturally. We spend so much time worrying about the future or dwelling on the past that we forget to live in the present.

Life unfolds in the present, so enjoy each moment and look for the positive in everything.” Scott Woodruff

All around Kidal, the Malian desert stretches in every direction. Endless horizons of rock and sand, barren and parched.
