ABOUT THIS SONG Sometimes the road we are on runs smack dab into the road we yearn to be on. We see ourselves flailing in the familiar, struggling to hold on to what...something that does not even serve us any more. Decisions to be made. A vast unknown out there. Leaps of faith. Clinging to the old ways. Feeling guilty. Feeling confused. Feeling empty. Feeling numb... I have been there in and out of my life. Sometimes after profound losses of a relationship, a dream, a part of me just plops down in the road...and does not truly know what to do. I used to get scared about it, feeling like I had to keep moving or I would get swallowed up by the nothing. And then I learned to just let go and be in the nothing that I was running from. It soon became apparent that I was only incubating...like a bit of time needed to pass as the energy and influence of the old just faded, as the new found its way in. A chance to breathe....integration...a reboot...installation of a new OS...ultimately, an invitation to listen to the within....as if for the first time We get too familiar with the past and think it defines us and infuses our cells and tissue. It does not...we have to stop and pay attention...wait for guidance...take off the old costume and all the baggage....this song is one way to say all of this. Use it when you are in the in-between. Celebrate the incubation and know that a whole new world is rising from within...don't buy the old press clippings any more... this is a new day...and it's there for you right now... |

SONG LYRICS: IF YOU WILL LISTEN There's a hollow feeling deep within your heart It pulls you through this life Day and night you feel the ache You call someone But it won't go away You look to the future You dream of the far away You think there's somebody Who will give you all you need So you just wait and the world moves on You meet someone who steals your heart You invest and hope this is the one And to a job you pour yourself But things are never done You look to the future You dream of the far away You knock on every door But you don't hear The pulse from deep inside If you will listen then you will hear There is an answer And its so clear But you been runnin so hard For so very long There is a love that calls your name It's in your heart it is aflame Can you surrender to this song If you listen hard It's there for you right now Through the days and through the nights You do your things to steal each bit of time You can't surrender you won't let go For just one moment You just might lose your mind You look to the future You dream of the far away That loneliness carries you Away from recognizing that You really have a choice ©1996.Music for Every Soul.
