(New song lyrics that I feel led to share tonight...)
Weeping willow
Standing solo
Let your heart grow
Baby don't you know you're beautiful?
Weeping willow
Dodging shadows
Please don't let go
Baby you are meant for so much more
Sometimes it's hard to see beyond
Emotional is chemical
So step outside and let it out
The fragile soul longs to belong
Weeping willow
Standing solo
Let your heart grow
Baby don't you know you're beautiful?
Weeping willow
Dodging shadows
Please don't let go
Baby you are meant for so much more
The tears will fall, the voices shout
Talk to someone that you can trust
Retrain the brain, look for the good
Let yourself laugh breathe in and out
Weeping willow
Standing solo
Let your heart grow
Baby don't you know you're beautiful?
Weeping willow
Dodging shadows
Please don't let go
Baby you are meant for so much more
Stay open, ride the tide
I see your smiling eyes
Pray through the darkest night
There's hope in the new sunrise
Weeping willow
Standing solo
Let your heart grow
Baby don't you know you're beautiful?
Weeping willow
Dodging shadows
Please don't let go
Baby you are meant for so much more
So much more
So much more
So much more

Live, Give, Love, Laugh, Learn,

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!

Around the Bend
Once I caught the vision, dream was deep inside
Somehow lost direction on this bumpy ride
Got a bowl of popcorn to keep me occupied
Tired of pretending that I'm satisfied
What looks like the end is changing road when you get there
Around that sharp bend is the view you haven't seen yet
If you stop short of your dream, you won't get to where you can see
Around the bend, just around the bend
Dragging all these worries, my "but" gets in the way
List of frazzled questions and wounds from yesterday
Help me claim the victory, fighting to revive
But I'm tired of being alone at night
What looks like the end is changing road when you get there
Around that sharp bend is the view you haven't seen yet
If you stop short of your dream, you won't get to where you can see
Around the bend, just around the bend
Around, around, around, around
Friends who do not understand
They try to keep you down with them
One climbs out, the crab effect
Don't go there, what's up with that?
Family they might mean well
Say work for retirement
I cannot wait I want to live
They fear you're falling off a cliff...
But what looks like the end is changing road when you get there
Around that sharp bend is the view you haven't seen yet
If you stop short of your dream, you won't get to where you can see
Around the bend
Don't give up! Don't you dare give up!
Tyler Perry Just said that
Thank you man, I needed it
You inspire me to live and keep going
Around the bend, just around the bend
shawna ray, today I found a sound I wrote in 2005. It has kept me going, and I can see everything I have been through as part of the process, while I still don't feel as if I will ever arrive.

Schemer
Schemer
From one who has been there done that with “that guy”, shawna ray today, 8-31-12
He’s a schemer
You can see it in his eyes
There's a devil in disguise
And you know that
To your face he’s telling lies
Learn this lesson and be wise
Steer clear, steer clear, steer clear of the schemer
You know the type, all front and hype
Deep down something just don’t feel right
He stalks the scene, maneuvering
Seems cold but he keeps talking talking talking about nothing but a…
Schemer!
You can see it in his eyes
Do not go there!

She acts like you are nothing new
You sense intentions are not true
Backlash she’s fast starts talking trash
Heart cold as cash that could care less no feeling there’s no felling from a…
Schemer!

Steer clear, steer clear, steer clear

Please Don't Preach
He tried to share his life. I went and missed the mark
Been burned a hundred times, He wasn’t hearing much
(He said), you speak their language, there is a tone I sense
All that just seems connected, to one who first rejected
Didn’t understand; Wouldn’t hold my hand
Didn’t show the love I needed back then
Please don’t preach at me
Please don’t preach at me
Love me just where I am
Let me tell you where I’ve been
I will learn to call you friend,
If you don’t preach at me, please
She had her own faith walk, nature with shifting views
I grew to understand what she was working through
Seeking a place of peace; daily discovering
Questioning the things that hypocrites release
You who throw a stone, hey what's with all the judging?
Please don’t preach at me
Please don’t preach at me
Love me just where I am
Let me tell you where I’ve been
I will learn to call you friend,
If you don’t preach at me, please
Each journey is its own. Don’t try to put a notch on your belt
This pain goes far and deep. Respect the time and need for healing
Please don’t preach at me
Please don’t preach at me
Love me just where I am
Let me tell you where I’ve been
I will learn to call you friend,
If you don’t preach at me, please
Let life speak, let love speak, let hope speak to those who are listening
Let life seek, let love seek, let hope seek those who are seeking
Open to see all God’s children connecting
Don’t be condescending if you want to pray for me
I'm a fellow traveler; willing to share this journey
Conversate and contemplate, I’ll learn from you, you learn from me
But please, please, please don’t preach
by shawna ray, this was written on 4-22-05 but is a remindable thought for today

Bug Off
Interrupt the bugs
When they try to invade
Growth that is in progress
Plants will need protecting
Keep sowing good seeds
Nutrition for the healthy
Stand up as a team
Not afraid to say
Bug off, bug off, bug off
Watch out for the thieves
Who try to come and take
All of your belongings
And steal your energy
Lock and use the key
Sensors are alarming
Action as a team
Not afraid to say
Bug off, bug off, bug off
Look up to the light
Find a new awareness
Purpose is refined
Recognize our oneness
Heart can lead the mind
Look inside with kindness
Change will come in time
Chase away the darkness
Bug off, bug off, bug off
You buggers better bug off!

Miraculous
"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." - Albert Einstein
Where is this road leading?
What do you have for me?
Find myself on my knees asking why?
So many variables
Juggling too many balls
Will this work for the good? Seek and find...
Everyday miracles
Nothing is impossible
When I watch one door close
I believe there's something more
Miraculous
Miraculous
Lead me into your will
I'll follow and be still
Even as storms will come I see your hand
Calming the raging sea
Arms open beckoning
Walk on the water with me, you can stand...
Everyday miracles
Nothing is impossible
When I watch one door close
I believe there's something more
Miraculous
Miraculous
Look for the rainbows in the rain
Come expecting healing through pain
Being rich has nothing to do with money
I can say that I have seen...
Everyday miracles
Nothing is impossible
When I watch one door close
I believe there's something more
Miraculous
Miraculous
Let God blow your mind
Seek and you will find...
Miraculous
Miraculous
