Memoirs in a Song...

Stories, Stones and Bones is a name given to me in a dream some 10+ years ago. I used the title for my first book of lyrics when I sent it to be copywritten... This blog is a compendium of my book of lyrics, from 1996 to present.

The name holds a sense of ancient wisdom, which I hope begins to seep thru my songs: What are the stories the earth tells, that are written on our ancestral bones? What is the deeper pool of knowledge that we can drink from as we birth ourselves into creative evolutionary beings? Where are our roots? What is the journey we have taken, personally and collectively?...

And so begins the story, woven in song, as fallen through the lyrics of my music...

More lyrics will be coming soon (I've written well over 100 songs!)... In the meantime, I hope you enjoy!


[Please note that you will want to read from bottom to top (in reverse). The "archive by date" list on the lefthand side will help your journey - which begins in March of 1996, when the first song flew out of my lips... You can also search by THEMES: the songs which I like a lot or are in current performance rotation are in the theme of *favorites*]

Let the Story be Told

Written over 2 states - during a journey of seeking I was on... Considering moving to the West coast, even though my roots were still in Boulder... Perhaps I felt the call of the ocean, of the creative subculture?... Either way, the song traveled with me - it seems no matter where I go...

We are the children
We are ancient souls
Blood of the ancestors
Let the story be told

Reveal the secrets
Sacred mysteries of old
The wisdom must be spoken
Let the stories be told

Rainbow serpent Grandmother
Aboriginal gold
The Dreamer has awoken
Let the story be told

Lay down your burdens
Release your fears
Bury the weapons
We’ve been building all these years

Turn back the veils
Look up and through the sun
Let the chain of illusion be broken
And a web of love be spun

My mama is the Goddess
Great Mother of All
My mama says awaken
Can you hear, can you hear her call?

Sacred is the mother
Sacred is the land
Sacred is her beauty
Held within our hands

Heal, heal the nations
Heal the world
Healing emanations
Heal our souls
