About

It’s my birthday. I made it another year heart intact and full of purpose. I am so grateful to God for music and expression. I don’t know how I’d live this life without those two elements. I could never really tell you the story; all the tears, every test of faith, the doubt, the loneliness, the love. This song is an effort to acknowledge the journey the triumphs and the despair, and witnessing that somehow I find the joy no matter what the circumstance. Perhaps this is a superpower. Perhaps this is the how and the why of my life. Trusting in the ebb and the flow. Rejoicing in the ebb and the flow. Finding that Spirit is indeed all around and with me all the time. Hope you enjoy the tune. Shout outs and love to Quelle Chris and Chris Keys for the production and to Alberto López for engineering the mix and master.

Lyrics

And my river has come to a bump in the road
a rock in the creek
the fear of unknown
she still can flow
she still can sing
she doesn't know what the future will bring
so she babbles along
like a brick against stone
she ebbs she flows
a little alone
I just float in my boat on my little stream
the rain may pour the birds may sing
the sun will shine again and again
some people I'll love
some more than just friends
a smile, a kiss, a laugh, a hug
a love that's new
someone to trust
i can finally see what is special bout me
i keep finding the joy no matter where I be

And my river has come to a bump in the road
a rock in the creek
the fear of unknown
I still can flow
I still can sing
I still don't know what the future will bring
so I babble along
like a rose in a pond
I ebb I flow
I keep finding the joy.

it fills me up
its easy to find
it glows in the dark
at the back of my mind
I just float in my boat on my little stream
the rain may pour the birds may sing
sometimes I'll feel good
sometimes I'll be sad
it tickles my soul when I'm feeling down

and my river may come to a bump in the road
a rock in the creek
the fear of unknown
I still can flow
I still can sing
I still don't know what the future will bring
so I'll babble along
like a rose in a pond
I ebb I flow
I keep finding the joy.

I can finally see what is special bout me
I keep finding the joy no matter where I be

I still will flow
I still will sing
I still won't know what the future may bring
but I'll babble along
like a rose on a pond
with a tidbit of joy
this is the end of the song.
