Hello Music-Makers,

While I work on fixing Ideology, I thought I'd go ahead and share my latest project. I wrote the lyrics eons ago...maybe 2002 or so. I had the melody in my head all these years, and BIAB finally made it possible to bring it to life. The song arose as part of a long healing journey and it feels very good to bring it to fruition. I hope it inspires others to think about where they came from, but also to realize that none of us are bound by the past. Yadda...yadda... I'm super please with the band! I'm always appreciative of comments to help improve anything.

Lyrics:

Puppeteer to a king
The raising of sheep
Escaping the slums
Emotions run deep
Some rich and some poor
The foods and the dance
A history of stories
An ancestral trance
Endurance and courage
Survival and fear
Their hopes and their dreams
And shadows draw near

Not as real as we seem
We were dreamed into being
We sing the creation
The ancestral dream

Family secrets
Deep family ties
Our fate to heal them
And follow their cries
Bring light to their darkness
Love to their shame
Live in integrity
Let go of the blame
With each of their gifts
And wisdom too
Fulfill every prayer
And dream something new

Not at big as we think
Nor as small as we pretend
We have to awaken
For the dream to end

May we fulfill the hopes you had for us
May we heal your sickness too
May we recognize the doors you open
With hearts open as we walk through
