Story Behind The Song

This song was written shortly after I came out of an emotional abyss, following a heartbreak.

Song Description

a song about letting go of the past and waking up to the power of today.

Lyrics

Today I felt a yearning to let myself be free
to let myself be happy with every part of me
and so I killed the critics and skipped between their stones
and found I could be happy in my time alone

today I grew a little more like the way I felt in love
my heart and mind exchanged a warm embrace
with all the world inside me running through my blood
and for a while I felt a sense of place

so it won't really matter what happens down the road
cause I'll get a little wiser with each day I grow old
but I'll bundle up for winter to keep from growing cold

today I cried a little but I smiled a whole lot more when I thought about the things that I choose to see
and I learned more how to love you for the person that you are and not the one I wanted you to be
today I took my heart out and I set it in your hands with faith that you would keep it warm and wild
and I began a new creation that the hollow parts demand
and finally heard the laughing of my inner child
(chorus)
