about

I wrote this song as an antidote to anxiety during a period of adversity in my life. At the time I was overcome with the fears and uncertainty that often accompany an unexpected tragedy, an unavoidable misfortune, those heartbreaking moments of life that lie outside our power of control. The creation of the song was a form of real-time healing, which, over time, became a mantra and meditation for me in trying moments.

I share it in the hopes that it will perhaps offer you a moment of peace and solace too, in difficult times. For me, it is a reminder to breathe, to turn inward, to listen to the inner voice of wisdom ~ and ultimately, to look back out at the world around me with new eyes, to see the diamond hidden within every stone; and to allow my voice and spirit to join back in on this wild dance of life.

lyrics

LYRICS:

Breathe slow.
Belly deep.
Repeat, repeat, repeat.

Follow your own flow-
Take the leap.
Don't be discrete
Because your heart was made to beat, beat, beat.

Feel the life
Flooding through your veins.
That little swallow in your throat, you got to let it sing
And all the brittle butterflies inside are fluttering-
So set it free.

See the diamond
In every stone.
See it shine, see it shine.
No matter the mountain you're climbing,
Whether you're disenthroned-
You're still divine, still divine.

Feel the life
Flooding through your veins.
That little swallow in your throat, you got to let it sing
And all the brittle butterflies inside are fluttering-
So set it free.

But if you're going to sing
You've got to sing it out through the Milky Way.
If you're going to pray
You've got to feel your faith like a new day.
If you gotta scream, then scream.

Feel the life
Flooding through your veins.
That little swallow in your throat, you got to let it sing
And all the brittle butterflies inside are fluttering-
So set it free.
Set it free.
Set it free.
