Story Behind The Song
I wrote the words to Fall Until You Fly by looking into a mirror. What was I afraid of? Could I trust myself? Why is it hard, especially for women, to feel really powerful? Why do we burden ourselves with duty (I should do such and such) instead of pleasure and strength (I will...)? The answer is one of total surrender and the music goes into a groove on the chorus that wipes away all doubts. Take a deep breath and become as full and powerful as you are meant to be.
Song Description
Are you still afraid of the power you know is waiting.....A song of stepping into your full and powerful self....an open, spacious, questioning beginning slides into an easy funk groove....

Lyrics
Fall until You Fly
words and music by Carole Nelson
Are you still afraid
Of the power you know is waiting,
Waiting such a long time
Deep inside you?
And are you still afraid
To say farewell to everything
Everything you once believed to be true?
Oh girl you've got it coming
I can see your flying colours
I can see your new beginning
Its written on your face
Saying no to "I really should"
And yes to revolution
And yes to any magic that will
Help you leave this place.
Just let go and fall and fall until you fly
Just let go and fall and fall until you fly
Just let go and fall and fall until you fly
Are you still afraid
To take a breath and feel it flowing,
Flowing through my body like the wind?
And are you still afraid
To feel the earth shaking,
Waiting for this moment to begin?
Oh girl you've got it coming
I can see your flying colours
I can see your new beginning
Its written on your face
Saying no to "I really should"
And yes to revolution
And yes to any magic that will
Help you leave this place
Just let go and fall and fall until you fly
Just let go and fall and fall until you fly
Just let go and fall and fall until you fly
