Amen

Story Behind The Song

"This one just flowed out of me, as if it was being channeled. It was such a humbling creative moment, and I feel this may be the song I'm most proud of. I wanted to write a comforting song - the visual could be a soft blanket of clouds that you can float in...something that, for me, recalled the spirit of Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah"...something to convey a calm, spiritual peace in the face of this complicated life. I sing "at times this world can be so beautiful," but that includes the pain - the pain is beautiful, too, since it's all part of this symphony of life...yeah, bittersweet."

Lyrics

AMEN
words & music by jen foster 2004

When the light of love surrounds you
When the dark of night confounds you
When the shadow life astounds you
Breathe in, and say amen, amen, once again

The day breaks in technicolor
A mother wakes her child from slumber
A little boy peeks out from under the sheets and grins
Say amen, amen, once again

At times this world can be so beautiful
It?s hard to take it all in
But don?t you be afraid, just let it rain
And say amen

A boy kisses a girl for the first time
A bird leaves her nest and takes flight
A broken man gets up and tries again
Say amen, amen, once again

At times this world can be so beautiful
It?s hard to take it all in
But don?t you be afraid, just let it rain
And say amen Amen...
