Aftermath

Aftermath

Music in the Making by Shawna Ray, today 5/7/14

You might have liked the young and pretty me

So full of armor, light and energy

Choices were made and now I’m living

Consequences of a worn down dream  

There’s a new growing grass

Flowers bloom again

All is well, no regrets

What remains intact?

Unbroken, unharmed, unscathed, complete

Untouched, uncut, undefiled, indiscrete

Is a good, good heart

With a love to laugh

There’s a free bird soul

With an olive branch

Coming back from the aftermath

I'm coming back from the aftermath

Some lessons we must learn the hard way

So we can help another someday

Divided we can fall and ruminate

Still love that penetrates is worth the wait

There’s a new growing grass

Flowers bloom again

All is well, no regrets

What remains intact?

Unbroken, unharmed, unscathed, complete

Untouched, uncut, undefiled, indiscrete

Is a good, good heart

With a love to laugh

There’s a free bird soul

With an olive branch

Coming back from the aftermath

I'm coming back from the aftermath

There's some things beyond our control
I'm ready to finally let go

With a good, good heart

And a love to laugh

There’s a free bird soul

With an olive branch

Coming back from the aftermath

I'm coming back from the aftermath

See You Tomorrow

Candy girl thinks she can't get through this
In the dark we get lost and dissorient
Listening I can see that she needs help
More than me redirecting to someone else

Don't give up
Look for the good

'Cuz we all need love
And we all fall short
And we're all connected
To an energy source
Walking in the light
Look into those eyes
I will hold the line
Know the sun will rise tomorrow
I want to see you tomorrow!

Calling out for the one who feels weak
When in need seeking help shows your strength
Standing up for ones who are bullied
Celebrating the ones befriending

Don't give up
Look for the good

'Cuz we all need love
And we all fall short
And we're all connected
To an energy source
Walking in the light
Look into those eyes
I will hold the line
Know the sun will rise tomorrow
I want to see you tomorrow

I will hold your hand seek to understand
There is no judgment with a fellow friend
You are beautiful and I see your soul
I won't claim to know I'm no savior
But I do care...

'Cuz we all need love
And we all fall short
And we're all connected
To an energy source
Walking in the light
Look into those eyes
I will hold the line
Know the sun will rise tomorrow
I want to see you tomorrow!

Collective, by Shawna Ray 3/11/11

When what we sow is what we reap
The energy will feed and seed
The whole, I am collective

We turn the darkness by receiving light
In understanding another's viewpoint
Asking why and listening
Talking less with heartfelt giving
What we sow is what we reap
The energy will feed and seed
The whole, I am collective

We break the cycle sharing ourselves
Staying connected to the Spiritual realm
Loving each other when we are in Love
Lifting our voices, laughing out loud
When what we sow is what we reap
The energy will feed and seed
The whole, I am collective

As we heal
As we grow
As we feel
And let it go

When what we sow is what we reap
The energy will feed and seed
The whole, we are collective
In peace
Collectively
In love
Collectively
We are one 
This energy will feed and seed
The whole, I am, collective
