SOUL FEATHERS (2015)
All songs by Sandi Kimmel
All chants by Sandi Kimmel & Thomas Barquee
 

1. MORNING LIGHT
I woke early one morning in the pink light of a new day with the thought
that every single morning is a chance to begin again…

CHORUS:
In the morning light
The world begins again and everything is new
In the morning light
I see more clearly that not every thought is true

My mind is filled with memories
Of lovers who have left me and ones who wouldn’t leave
Decisions I regretted, relationships I grieve
Ah, what’s gone is gone...

CHORUS

I breathe into remembering
This is the present moment, everything is Now
The ocean is my anchor, the waves remember how
Every day and night...
In the morning light...in the morning light

CHORUS

I dream of what’s ahead of me
A thousand new tomorrows are calling out my name
All I know for certain is no two are the same
But they’re mine to claim!
In the morning light…in the morning light
In the morning light...in the morning light

2. TAKE ME HOME
A call for peace, nothing less.

Faith is my oasis 3x
Faith take me home

CHORUS:
Shalom, Salaam
May peace prevail on Earth
Shanti, Satta
May peace prevail on Earth

Love is my foundation 3x
Love take me home

CHORUS

Grace shines like a beacon 3x
Grace take me home

CHORUS

Peace lives deep inside me 3x
Peace take me home

CHORUS

May peace prevail on Earth
May peace prevail on Earth
Let there be peace on Earth

3. RARE RAINY DAY
A reminder to surrender, relax and trust the unfolding.

It’s a rare rainy day
And the wind keeps on blowin’
A rare rainy day
Will I get where I’m goin’ today?

I think that the trick is to trust the unfolding
I think the trick is to trust the unfolding
I think the trick is to trust

All our stories make stitches and stitches take time
Friends connecting together embroidering mine

Stitching stories together the patterns reveal
More and more of the essence as parts of me heal

I think that the trick is to trust the unfolding
I think the trick is to trust the unfolding
I think the trick is to trust

It’s a rare rainy day
And the wind keeps on blowin’
A rare rainy day
Will I get where I’m goin’
A rare rainy day
Well, at least it’s not snowin’ today
Rainy day, rainy day…

4. MAY I
A simple prayer for inner peace.

May I feel protected and safe
May I be contented and pleased
May I feel connected to Grace
May I move my body with ease

May I, May I
May I, May I

5. JUST FOR TODAY
One day at a time, we can shine the light in all the dark places.

Be like the wind that blows around things
Be like a river - flow downstream
Then listen deeply to the silence
To see that life is but a dream
A dream…

Be like the waves that play the ocean
Be like the stars that dance the sky
Then listen deeply to the silence
For every answer to every why
Ask why…

CHORUS:
Just for today, just for today
Just for today
See the light, not the shadow
The shadow’s just waiting for light

Be like a wheel that keeps on turning
With no beginning and no end
Then listen deeply to the silence
There is music hidden in the wind
The wind…

CHORUS

Be like the wind that blows around things
Be like a river - flow downstream
Then listen deeply to the silence
To see that life is but a dream, a dream
Life is a dream, a dream
Your life is your dream…

6. DIVINE FEMININE
Many say we are now moving into the time of the Divine Feminine.
This is my invocation and appreciation.

Wisdom, Love, Grace and Gratitude
Wisdom, Love, Grace and Gratitude

Calling in, calling in
The Divine Feminine
Calling in, calling in
The Divine Feminine

Sophia, Shoshanna, Maria, Sarai
Sophia, Shoshanna, Maria, Sarai
Sophia, Shoshanna, Maria, Sarai
Sophia, Shoshanna, Maria, Sarai

Her love is pure and strong
Inspiring every song

Wisdom, Love, Grace and Gratitude…

Calling in, calling in
The Divine Feminine…

Sophia, Shoshanna, Maria, Sarai…

Her voice is all her own
Maiden, Mother, Crone

Sophia, Shoshanna, Maria, Sarai…

7. UNSUNG HEROES
For caregivers everywhere. And after all, aren’t each of us responsible
for caring for ourselves?

Here’s to all the unsung heroes
Tending loved ones deepest wounds
Hoping someone notices
And that help will be here soon

Every day is the same - only different
Time marches on standing still

Here’s to all the unsung heroes
Tending their own deepest wounds
Hoping no one notices
And that help will get here soon

Every day feels the same - nothing different
Time hurries by standing still

Gentle sacred heart, let the healing start
Gentle sacred heart, let the healing start

We are all the unsung heroes
Each with our own secret wounds
We think that no one notices
Surely help will be here soon

Every day’s not the same - no, they’re different
Life passes by being still

Gentle sacred heart, let the healing start
Gentle sacred heart, let the healing start

Here’s to all the unsung heroes
We are all unsung heroes too
Here’s to you…here’s to you…

8. WELCOME HOME
Appreciation for the present moment, wherever I am in it.

Be at peace where you are
Wherever you are…

There is only Now
There is only Now

Om, Om
Welcome Home

9. I FEEL YOUR GRACE
Knowing that I don’t know is the most important part of my journey.

I know, I know, I know that I don’t know
I know, I know, I know that I don’t know

I know I’m searching for direction
I know that I’m headed this way
I go for the path of introspection
I go to the mountain to pray

There – I know my place
There – no time or space
There – I see Your face
And I feel Your grace, I feel Your grace

I know, I know, I know that I don’t know
I know, I know, I know that I don’t know

I know I’m always in Your vision
I know you hold me in Your heart
I go blindly following my mission
I go forward doing my part

Here – I’m in my place
Here – this time and space
Here – I see Your face
I feel Your grace, I feel Your grace

I know, I know, I know that I don’t know
I know, I know, I know that I don’t know

I know my footsteps sometimes falter
I know I’m bound to lose my way
I go and I kneel before the altar
I go seeking light every day

There – I’m in my place
Here – this time and space
Now – I see Your face
And I feel Your grace, I feel Your grace
I feel Your grace, I feel Your grace

I know, I know, I know that I don’t know…

10. LOVE MOTHER EARTH
“There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the ground.” ~ Rumi

Love Mother Earth
Love Mother Earth
Love Mother Earth
Love Mother Earth

Feel the wind blow
Watch the grass grow
Wildflow’r meadow
Dances in flow

Feel her heartbeat
Under your feet
Each breath complete
As your hearts meet

Love Mother Earth…

Morning sunlight
All is all right
Evening moonlight
Mother, goodnight

Birds and bees and dogs and trees
Open fields and summer breeze

Love Mother Earth…

Bless the sky above and
Open to the love

Oceans bathed in Light
All creatures bathed in Love

Love Mother Earth…

Oceans bathed in Light
All creatures bathed in Love

11. FORGIVENESS
I needed to forgive myself before I could forgive anyone…or anything else.

For all the times that I said yes
When I meant no
And all the places that I went
That I didn’t want to go

For all the things I should have said
And could have done
For all the battles that I lost
And especially those I won

CHORUS:
I forgive me, I forgive you
Time to let it go

For all the things that I began
But did not end
All the fences I put up
And ones I failed to mend

To all the friends I left behind
And ones to come
We’ll always be connected
Because love lives on and on

CHORUS

And anything that happened - real, imagined, big or small
In this one mighty moment I release them all

For any time I promised but
Did not come through
For grudges that I carried
That hurt me instead of you

It doesn’t really matter
If you’re here or gone
I finally choose forgiveness
And it’s time for moving on

I forgive me, I forgive you
Time to let it go
I forgive me, I forgive you
Time to let it go
Finally time to let it go…

12. BREATHE DEEP
The breath is conveniently located in the present moment, but most of the time,
I live in the half-inch between my eyebrows. This gentle reminder puts me back
in my body, where the present moment is always waiting patiently…

Bring it back to the body
Back to the body
Back to the body back

Give the mind a rest
Give the mind a rest
Give the mind a rest
Give the mind a rest

Breathe deep
Breathe deep
Breathe deep
Breathe deep

All is well
All is well
