about

A contemplative prayer song featuring violin and cello, giving it a string quartet feel, over an ethnic groove provided by udu drum. The verses are punctuated with Enya-like choral vocals, speaking to blessing, forgiveness, gratitude, and being our best selves.

lyrics

VERSE:
As the twilight falls, the evening sings to me with one voice --

LITHUANIAN BACKGROUND VOCALS:
Susijungiam Diev' su Tavim (TRANSLATION: We unite, God, with Thee)

And I contemplate just how today I used my choice –
Did I take a stand To reveal who I truly am?
Or did I let the world win? Did I give in?
Can I find strength within Once more to begin?

VERSE:
As the nighttime comes, the moon and all the stars shine their light --
And I think of all the things throughout my day that went right --
Oh I know I’ll never be the perfect one
But let me more often than not Be my Higher One
Let me not give in Let me find strength within
Once more to begin

BRIDGE:
So I turn my thoughts to those around me,
Everyone I have ever known -- friends and family.
If we’re hurting now, May I forgive them and they forgive me.
I’m praying that each of their lives be expressing their greatest blessing.

And I give thanks for the whole world
Sending thoughts that the Highest Good
Take place everywhere for everybody -- synchronistically.

VERSE:
As I close my eyes, the crickets’ chirping lulls me to sleep --
I have asked that solutions come to me from the deep --
For my dreams bring me my answers by the dawn,
I wake up to surrender to my Highest One
So I don’t give in So I find strength within Once more to begin.
