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!

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...

Bringers of the Dawn

Ha ha ha, this one became a hippi anthem at Rainbow Gatherings for some many years...

...
Verse 1:
We’ve got to believe in the power of the people
Got to believe in the power to heal
Got to believe in the power of the people
Got to believe that this power is real
Got to believe in the people

Verse 2:
We’ve gotta be calm, cool, clear and connected
With conscious intention in every single act
Changing with courage in every situation
Cosmic unity is where it’s at
Conscious community is where it’s at

Chorus:
Because we are the bringers of the dawn
And love is the road we travel on
Letting truth be the reigns that we ride
Letting hope and faith be our guide

Bridge:
So we made some mistakes
There ain’t nothing we can’t change
So we made a few mistakes
There ain’t no fate we can’t rearrange

(Chorus)

Verse 3:
We are free. . .
We are free of our negative thinking
Reality’s born of that which we believe
Knowing that heaven’s wherever we create it
A new and sacred world for you and me
A new and sacred world for you and me

(Chorus)
