A Choice

Liner Notes
#emptybowls #folk #girlwithguitar #girlwithpiano Today I am playing a 45 minute set for an Empty Bowls charity event, so I was thinking about this and about writing a song of hope and this happened. Quick demo it very well could morph a lot down the road!
Lyrics
If your bowl is empty We will fill it here Offer you some safety Shelter from the fear
Listen for my voice Watch for special friends They might show up anywhere Through a brand new lens
Fill your eyes with light Fill your soul with air Fill spirit with sight There is refuge there Fill your bowls with hope Fill your cup with joy Fill your heart until it knows We all have a choice
Once my power drained Spilled out on the floor Hope held out her hand I knew there was more

I think this is really sweet and encouraging -- I especially like the melody of the "fill your" section and the opening lyrics. Nice writing!
