The lead track on my last album is called “Feel the Sun.” I wrote it at time when I was coping with deep loss, alongside dealing with a very distressing situation that spanned months. I was exhausted and depleted. Time spent in spiritual direction was one of my key lifelines, and I have been blessed with a very skilled director. She encouraged me along the path of healing with much wisdom and, at times, simple recommendations such as to get out in the sun again. This song is about hope on the path of self-revival. You can listen to “Feel the Sun” by using the MUSIC page of this website. It’s the first track. May you be inspired!

Collecting all my tears for you
Cause I know you’ll know what to do
When I run to blue
When I run to blue
Funny how I’m not to see
The way the roots grow underneath
When I roll on green
When I roll on green
Oh, all I want to do
Is feel the sun on my face again
And oh, what keeps me holdin’ on
Is trusting it comes round again
Trying to choose good things to wed
Appreciating all you’ve said
When I pull on red
When I pull on red
I close my eyes to see the light
And mediate on all that’s right
When I dream to white
And I dream to white
Oh, all I want to do
Is feel the sun on my face again
And oh, what keeps me holdin’ on
Is trusting it comes round again
Working on a peace that lasts
Practicing in overcast
And this too shall pass
Oh, all I want to do
Is feel the sun on my face again
And oh, what keeps me holdin’ on
Is trusting it comes round again
Oh, all I want to do
Is feel the sun on my face again
And oh, what keeps me holdin’ on
Is trusting it comes round again
