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*]

New Day

Verse 1:
I am ready for the new day
Where all our people are at peace
I will walk down any street,
Anywhere, anytime, and be at ease

I am ready for the new day
For the rising of the morning sun
Ready for the glory of creation
When all the children are one

Verse 2:
We are entering unknown territory
Who out there can hear my song?
How many of my people
Will even dare to sing along?

We are entering unknown territory
A trail of tears we leave behind
When we arrive in the new time
I will share a glass of the divine

Chorus:
I will lift my song to the angels
Give my breath to the wind
Live my life for the music
And for love of this world we’re living in

Bridge:
We are starlight
Woven through time in infinite ways
We are the dreamers
Dancing the world awake
We are a heartbeat
Rhythm of creation
We are lovesong
Healing the nations

Verse 3:
Can you feel the power of devotion
Passion too hard to resist
Love is the sweetest emotion
Woven through all that exists

Can you feel the power of devotion
Grace of God in a kiss
Opens the doors of perception
As we glide into infinite bliss
{No it don’t get much better than this}

(Chorus), then...

We must all lift our souls to the angels
Give our breath to the wind
Live our lives for each other
And for love of this world we're living in
Yeah for love, yeah for love
Yeah for love of this world... we're living in
