✨ Gone Too Long — Produced by Metropolis Music & Wav-Dr.
🎙️ Written and Performed by Bonnie Legion
This song was born from a space of reflection—a soul cry about time, change, and the weight of what we leave unsaid. Gone Too Long speaks to the moment we wake up and realize we’ve been walking too far from our truth, from connection, from purpose… but that it’s not too late to turn around.
Metropolis Music brought the raw foundation to this track with a gritty, grounded beat that gave the message its pulse. Wav-Dr., my longtime collaborator from the WAV Legion project, took the mix into deeper territory—his acoustic guitar riff solo at the end adds a layer of sweetness and vulnerability that brings it all home.
This track is for anyone who’s felt distant—from themselves, from others, from hope—but is still holding a dream in their pocket and a fire in their chest.
Thank you for listening. If it moves you, share it. Comment. Connect. Your presence is felt.

Lyrics by Bonnie Legion
[Verse 1]
Baby, has it been so long
Since I been gone, since I been gone?
It ain't no time for me to say goodbye
We all be living, we be livin’ a lie
We're on the wrong side of the road
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm saying baby, we could change the world
I'm saying maybe, we could save the world
It’s a long stride down the road
[Chorus]
I got a hope inside of my pocket
I'm not waiting for the cold to come down
And I got a dream inside of my locket
I'm not waiting for the sun to burn out
Baby, has it been so long
Since I been gone, since I been gone?
Trouble—did it all go wrong?
Where did I go wrong?
Maybe I been gone too long
[Verse 2]
There is a time for you to brave the streets
There is a time for you to plant the seeds
May all the forests grow
There is a dance and it’s ever wild
Stars in the sky dream loud as a child
May all our eyes glow
[Bridge]
I got a pen inside of my hand
Puttin’ ink to the page like dirt on the land
Gonna plant this road
I've been gone, yeah, that’s been said
I turned a whole lot of minds with an empty bed
I gotta move this soul
[Final Chorus]
Baby, maybe I been gone
Maybe I been gone
Maybe I been gone too long
Trouble—where did I go wrong?
Where did I go wrong?
Maybe I been gone too long
Baby, has it been so long
Since I been gone...
Maybe I been gone too long

![Losing Grip - Qrittix | Bonnie Legion [ONE LOVE - GLOBAL PROTESTS]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jGnWovArV7E/mqdefault.jpg "Losing Grip - Qrittix | Bonnie Legion [ONE LOVE - GLOBAL PROTESTS]
Last week, I immersed myself in the discussion about the conflict between Israel and Palestine, expressing my ideas and feelings. I also shared some video clips and historical information on several platforms, including Facebook. While there are many people who support and resonate with the message Im trying to convey, its disheartening when others misinterpret it or fail to see the bigger picture. Im open to being corrected and enjoy exploring information that can change my perspective.
For a while, I felt defeated and helpless, especially for the innocent victims suffering in the Middle East. Today, I decided to create this video featuring a song I collaborated on with the Dutch producer and my friend and brother, Qrittix. He, like me, is deeply passionate about humanitarian causes and absorbs the worlds pain as an artist striving to express and evoke love and emotional exploration through music.
The song, titled Losing Grip, was composed earlier this year. Its a humanitarian piece that focuses on rising up, using words and imagery that connect with the souls in my town, Mount Shasta, California – a spiritually rich community. The song is about rising above and grasping the light that unites us all. I thought of this song while observing various global protests for the sake of humanity happening worldwide.
I wanted to share a powerful sentiment with you all: people from across the globe coming together in support of innocent lives being lost in Palestine. The genocide and ethnic cleansing of a people didnt start on October 7th; its been an ongoing tragedy. I stand against the deaths of innocent people worldwide, including those in Israel who tragically lost their lives.
I hope this video brings some light to a dark situation and demonstrates how much people around the world care. I care deeply and wish I could do more than create a song or a video.
I feel this is my part right here and if I can lend any hope or heart to the situation at all I would be ever so grateful for that.
I realize the situation is incredibly complex and I am open to much learning so I can be used in this world as a better tool for peace, love creation, and all the good shit, for my friends, my family, and people everywhere.")
