MUSIC
Music has the power to transport us back in time, to calm our worried minds or boost our moods. There really is a song for every emotion. Feel, heal, connect through music.
​
Jane Swan
“How is it that music can, without words, evoke our laughter, our fears, our highest aspirations?”
Wiss Auguste
“Once again, she was free. Once again, she found peace. It was music that freed her soul from the dungeon of her mind.”
Douglas Adams
“Beethoven tells you what it's like to be Beethoven and Mozart tells you what it's like to be human. Bach tells you what it's like to be the universe.”
New Start
There was a time when I couldn't find my way
Lost in the pain, my thoughts astray
Every memory, every sound, every sight
Triggering emotions that nothing could fight
​
Chorus
But I won't let it define who I am
I'm learning to heal and taking a stand
I'll face my fears with an open heart
And leave the past behind, a brand new start
​
Slowly but surely, I'm finding peace
Letting the light inside, the darkness release
It's not easy, but it's worth the fight
To feel alive again, to see the light
​
Chorus
​
Bridge
I won't forget, but I won't dwell
My strength is growing as I break the spell
I'll embrace the present with all my might
And let my soul shine, so bright, so light
​
Chorus
​
My journey's not over, but I'm on my way
I'll keep moving forward, day by day
So listen closely, hear me sing
I'm getting past all things, spreading my wings
Bigger
It's been a long road, filled with pain and fear
Wounds that never quite healed, scars that always here
But I refuse to let it define me, and hold me back
I will rise above it all, and begin to track
​
Chorus
As I move past the trauma and triggers
I feel myself getting stronger, bigger
All the pain that I used to carry
Slowly lifting, no longer scary
Riding the waves of the hurt and pain
Finding new ways to ease the strain
Breathing deep and reaching out
To find the support that I need to shout
​
Chorus
As I move past the trauma and triggers
I feel myself getting stronger, bigger
All the pain that I used to carry
Slowly lifting, no longer scary
I choose to take control of my life
To find the strength within and strive
To move forward and not look back
To leave behind the pain and lack
​
Chorus
As I move past the trauma and triggers
I feel myself getting stronger, bigger
All the pain that I used to carry
Slowly lifting, no longer scary
No longer trapped, no longer confined
I find myself free and unchained
A new chapter, a new beginning
A brand new song that I'm singing
