ABOUT THIS SONG When I traveled with Hay House author, Sonia Choquette, I was always making up songs to serve the moment. As she would complete her books she would give me a copy to make music for the key points. The first book I did this for was Heart's Desire. As I searched through titles and topics I was reminded of our inherent capacity of magnificence that gets tossed into the scrap heap when our familial and cultural programs infuses limitations, not good enough, and normal. I then recalled or had just seen the Olympics opening ceremony that featured Mohammed Ali lighting the cauldron flame. I recall seeing him walk into the mist, having obvious difficulty in moving, the result of years of pummeling...likely. I cried when I saw him because he was the greatest, representing how powerful one could be, how confident, how likeable, how loved... I sat at the piano at home and the melody through itself into my hands. The words followed and I remembered that I, too, was magnificent, born for glory, unserved by the limitations I had so easily bought into and wore through the years. No more, I said. I Am born for glory and I shall do that from now on. Under the influence of that decision this song lyric revealed itself. Potent. Powerful. Inspiring....just like you...like me...like us all. Claim it, my friend...and see how life shows up for you then. |

SONG LYRICS: BORN
We were born perfect in every way Beaming with golden light Blessed with “I can” Can you remember? You were born filled with your holy plan It is not lost to you It’s waiting inside What keeps us cradling belief in our own limitations What keeps us circling below what we are What keeps us looking on while life whirls around us What keeps us living “no” when we’re made to be “yes” We were born to medal in every race See God in every place To dance the I AM can you remember? You were born with power beyond your dreams To embrace every living thing With heart open wide What keeps us holding on to mem’ries of deep separation What keeps the distance between you and I What keeps us wishing hard starving on “what-if’s” and “maybe’s” What keeps us living “no” when we’re made to be “yes” Here’s to the wounded years here’s to the pain Here’s to the blame I’ve laid here’s to mistakes Here’s to the critic’s eye born in childish fears Here’s to the shaky walls all covered with tears Here’s to the ways I bought here’s to lost time Here’s to leaving it all behind We were born with not one care in the world Why not return to there I know we can I know we can © July 20, 1996.
