So, I finished this song about an hour ago. It is kinda raw, unpolished, and extremely rough around the edges – somehow it seems appropriate to share it that way. When I started writing the song it made me cry. By the time I finished, it had me smiling. This is for all of my island family who are displaced and wishing they were back on St. John…(lyrics below)

BACK TO LOVE CITY
I miss my island. I miss my home.
My people have scattered.
The strong winds have blown me
Back to mainland where I feel out of place
But I do my best to find hope in these spaces

Cuz they offer me shelter and kindness and love
And can’t understand why it’s not quite enough
It just isn’t Love City
Get me back to Love City Continue reading “BACK TO LOVE CITY”

FREEDOM IN THE WIND

I want to ride on the waves,

Sail on to another place.

Won’t you take me away?

I know there’s freedom in the wind.

 ————————-

I hear the ocean call my name

And feel this blood course through my veins.

Strength it washes over me,

My fears release and I am free

To see this world for all it is,

So full of blessings, full of gifts.

Gifts of love, of hope and peace

Flow out and then rush back to me.

(Chorus)

I watch the sun rise in the east

And dream while everybody sleeps.

In waves my thoughts roll by and by,

They ebb and flow just like the tide.

I think of all that I’ve been shown,

The greatest wonders I have known.

As sure as anything I’ve seen,

I know I’ll have all I believe.

(chorus)

The shade is pulled on the sunshine

And stars, they fill up the night sky.

Some will fall and some will shine,

But we all know when it’s our time.

(chorus)
