ABOUT THIS SONG All along, from the point when I could articulate the thought, I felt different than those around me. I thought differently, and saw the world differently, and, despite some pretty intense experiences as a boy, I still held the world to be a beautiful place, and thought people were basically all good. My sense of difference steered my journey for a long time in my early days. I grew very comfortable being on my own and found respite in the silence. I was drawn to an organization, Support Group Network, created by Robert Simmons, which taught groups of people how to create self sustaining support groups. My comfort in being on my own was inviting me to learn to find similar support in the company of like minded community. I was all in. I became a major player in the leadership of that organization, teaching and facilitating groups to launch into their new ocean of support. It was here where I started to develop my sensitivity to working with others on clearing old emotional debris and baggage. My own journey of therapy and work had well acquainted my double Virgo self with the virtue and the power of living fully in body, rather than dancing exclusively in mind and spirit. I became really good at moving people into emotional release, and being fully present for them all through it and beyond. Here also my music became more of a conscious vehicle to move energetic baggage. Utilizing ancient chant repetition practices, I turned to affirmative songs I call, Intentional Song. We used them a lot when experiences got too "intense"...and I saw first hand how the musical frequencies could ease the journey and balance the room and all its members. This song is a recognition of all of these, penned when I had committed to doing a special concert for all the Support Group Network members, of which there were over a hundred by then. The premise is that through the choice to be conscious, I avoided some potential pitfalls that could have been based on my personal story. I chose differently and worked into and through the wounds, and the resistances, and the fears, and the patterns. I was choosing to use the vehicle to champion the importance of being transparent, open, and honest. I invite you to entertain that possibility as you listen to this song. I have personally walked into and through many fearful places within, places I never thought i could or would re-enter. And in every one of them I found the illusion that paralyzed me for a while. It fell and I was released to a higher, more loving vibration...ready for the next trip into the shadow. So, I say, go there...for there is nothing there that is bigger than you. Trust me..I'll sing it for you... |

SONG LYRICS: I'LL SING FOR YOU If I was just another man In the middle of space Pulled blindly along With the rest of the race I couldn’t sing for you tonight I’d be down in some empty corner Of the world If I was just another wanderer Falling behind Waiting for an answer that was Somewhere in time I couldn’t share my song tonight I’d be down in some empty corner Of the world But I have listened to the voices And I have heeded the call And I have made my choices And, yes, I want it all So I shall sing If I was just another wisher With no action in heart Dreaming of the end but so Unable to start I wouldn’t have a song tonight I’d be down in some empty Corner of the world But I have listened to the voices And I have heeded the call And I have made my choices And, yes, I want it all So I shall sing For this I’ll sing for you To show you these places I’ve been For this I sing to you To take you these places my friends I want you to know me I want you to see I want you to share in this Life that I’ve seen Holding my heart in the Palm of my hand I want you to feel me And then if you can I want you to see We are so much the same Our faces are different And so are the names But what we are feeling Stems straight from one Source Connected by Love as we Travel this course I want you to know me I want you to see I want you to know that We truly are free If I was just another man In the middle of space Pulled blindly along With the rest of the race I couldn’t sing for you tonight ©1996.Music for Every Soul.
