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*]
Free and innocent, indeed. Optimistic, idealistic... And yet this song still rings true today...
We are visionaries
We are dreamers
We are mystics
We are healers
And our love is strong
Love is the road we walk upon
Our love is strong
Like the river to the ocean, we sail along
And we are the ones to heal
We are the ones to heal the world
We are the ones to heal
We are prophets
We are seekers
We are students
We are teachers
And our love has grown
Love is the seed we have sown
Our love has grown
Let it flow, let it grow, the seeds that we sow
And we are the ones to heal
We are the ones to heal the world
We are the ones to heal
We are the new day
We are the setting sun
We are the elders
We are the children
And our love is wild
Like the heart of an innocent child
Our love is wild
Free and open like the heart of an innocent child
And we are the ones to heal
We are the ones to heal the world
We are the ones to heal
...
