Greetings! If you are on this page, you are probably singing with me in our song circle meetings. I will keep recordings of songs we are working on here for you to hear and sing with. Getting a “song in your ear” is key to EMBODIMENT. The music literally enters you and lives with you. This is why I choose carefully all the songs we sing together! Making sure they are enlivening, inspiring and enlightening!
Songs below are taken from Lisa Littlebird’s webpage. You can find her at: www.thebirdsings.com. She generously shares her music in the spirit of inclusion …and I am so grateful!Lisa is a member of the Ubuntu Choir Network.

LYRICS
I don’t feel in no ways tired
I’ve come so far from where I started from
And nobody told me that the road would be easy
But I don’t believe you* brought me this far to leave me
(x2)
I don’t believe you brought me this far (x3)
I don’t believe you brought me this far to leave me
(x2)
*Originally “He”
