As I traveled through the different landscapes of my inner world, with its moods, feelings, beauties and challenges: the writing, the singing, and the producing of this album became the transformation. The music was the alchemy.
The lyrics and music attempt to give form to something mysterious and formless, as they come from the depth of my heart as it reaches out to express that which cannot be said.
A heartfelt thank you to all my musicians for the love and talent they brought to this album, and to the friends who listened and supported me during this journey:

Lyrics
9. CLEAR LIGHT OF DAY (Courage)
May the seed that I am
Break apart in the soil
Make its way through the dark
To the clear light of day
Tis' the silence that heals me
And sings to my soul
Callin' me home
Makin' me whole
No more time to pretend
Getting close to the end
Whoever I am meeting my destiny
What will be, will be.
(Mandolin Solo)
Facin' up to the fact that the journey is long
Gotta keep my heart strong
Gotta keep movin' on
As I looked in your eyes
I could recognize
An ocean so vast
A home at last
So long have I traveled
Life upon life
Your call to come home
Has shattered my world
(Violin Solo)
Take my life in my hands
Give it up to the whole
Something big is at stake
There's no time for a break
I've been here for so long
Many forms, many lives
Then I met you and knew
That my time had come
As I die to my past
I'm released from my shell
And a new song is born
From the ashes of all that was me
Though I scream and I cry
As the shell splits apart
I will thank you again
For that clear light of day
Thank you again for that clear light of day.
