A new beginning
I am trusting all my heart
A new surrender
Time alone brings a new start
I know that I am stronger now
I understand what went wrong
I treat myself with kindness now
I’m singing a new song
I trust the learning
I am open every day
To hear the message
That my heart has to say
Before I used to look for love
And lean and doubt and cry
But now I know I’ve got it all
It’s up to me to try
It wasn’t easy
I had to face the pain
You must surrender
Let it out and then you’re sane
Like magic you fall through and then
Something catches you
You realize it’s not your fault
And then you believe in you
Was it God
Catching me with such relief
Or the magic
Of the universe and this belief
Does it really matter who
Or what is there for us
As long as we know someone does
Mother Nature’s sunshine loves
I am happy
To know I can stand alone
And give to others
What my soul has always known
If we can set aside the blame
And know it wasn’t fair
Yet we can all begin again
And trust our hearts and share
A new beginning…a new beginning…a new beginning
I just wanted to let you know that I sit and listen to your songs and cry and cry. They help me mourn. You remind of Joni Mitchell. I love your folksy straight – forward style. I’m a singer too and I know what its like to have a mother who is jealous of you and doesn’t allow u to sing. I am encouraged to see that it is possible to heal and sing again.
Aja, Thank you so much for your kind words about my singing and my songs. This is what I had hoped, that my music would help others to mourn and heal. Thank you for letting me know–it means so much. What a compliment–Joni Mitchell–and that you like my style. Wow, thank you. Yes, you can sing again–as you discover the truth about you under the pain, your true voice will gradually emerge with a new-found confidence to share it.
Wishing you comfort as you continue to heal. Love and Light, Elaine
