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

Humble Pie for the Holidays

Happy Thanksgiving! Listen and enjoy some Humble Pie this holiday season. Any flavor you like, but you GIVE a slice or DO something nice FOR someone else before you serve yourself.

Humble Pie
By singer/songwriter Shawna Ray, Open 2010, Rhythm Ray Records, ASCAP
Produced by Ahmande “Mondo” Grimes and Aaron Rice, Nashville, TN

Lyrics...
At life’s restaurant I thought I’d get whatever I wanted
Ordered up a nice cool one And said keep‘em coming, coming…
Until my bill came due The day that I met you
I was way too full of myself Didn’t leave room for…
Humble pie, it’s an acquired taste
One that I have come to appreciate
For the growth it produces as change takes place
I learned to be grateful the more that I ate
Humble pie at life’s little restaurant
(ladedade ladedadedadedum ladedade ladedadedadedum)

Browse the menu for awhile
Everything comes with a price
Spending time with those I love
Always fill me up
Spice of life is beautiful
Every color every culture
Gives us friendship for dessert
It’s a revolving display of...

Humble pie, it’s an acquired taste…
Repeat Chorus

You get what you need, not always what you want
You give and receive at life’s restaurant
Everybody gets some - All you can eat of
Everybody gets some, all you can eat of…

Humble pie, it’s an acquired taste
One that I have come to appreciate
For the growth it produces as change takes place
I learned to be grateful the more that I ate
Humble pie at life’s little restaurant
(ladedade ladedadedadedum ladedade ladedadedadedum)
