From the recording Opal Essence (digital download)
Lyrics
There’s no place I’d rather be
I’m more alive and live more freely
What truly matters in life is pushing its way forward in me
All the excess is falling away and I am fighting to keep it at bay
I am fighting to keep it this way
In this place I see the face beneath my face
A true reflection
So beautiful the ocean waves to spend these days
Watching sunsets
These landscapes slow me down bring forth the sound
Of my heartbeat
In the presence of something pure
There is no past and no future
What a gift bestowed to me to be permitted aside the wild
There are no accidents in this amazing providence
This amazing providence
In this place I see the face beneath my face
A true reflection
So beautiful the ocean waves to spend these days
Watching sunsets
These landscapes slow me down bring forth the sound
Of my heartbeat
And I get so caught up
I lose my breath
Tears fill my eyes
In the midst of so much grace
Such majesty
Only innocence thrives
In this place I see the face beneath my face
A true reflection
So beautiful the ocean waves to spend these days
Watching sunsets
These landscapes slow me down bring forth the sound
Of my heartbeat
