Same Side
As golden autumn days give way to colder winter nights, or as the seasons of our lives turn from one chapter to the next, we can be faced with difficult challenges. Change is hard. But when we seek it out instead of hiding from it, it can transform us for the better.
I Will Listen is a song about being present in the moment, grounding oneself in the sounds of nature, and paying attention to how the world speaks to us. Practicing patience and mindfulness can help us navigate our changing lives.

On a changing day,
Turning amber skies to gray,
Autumn falls away,
Winter's chill is here to stay.
And with a setting sun,
I wonder what's to come.
What has begun?
I hear the cold wind blow as it races down the peak.
I feel the frozen snow as it melts upon my cheek.
When darkness starts to grow, I will always try to hide before I seek.
But when the world starts to speak,
I will listen.
As the seasons change,
Some things never stay the same.
With each passing day,
The familiar fades away.
What will my future be?
What's that in front of me?
Who will I be?
I hear a voice inside as it urges me to fly.
I feel the rising tide, but not the reason why.
I freeze, for in my mind I will always try to hide before I seek.
But when the world starts to speak,
I will listen to the sound of the forest asleep,
Listen to the threes as they bend and creak,
Listen to the birds and the song they sing
And more will be here in the spring.
Listen to my footsteps in the snow,
Listen to the path I choose to go,
Listen to my heart, it shows the way,
Even if we change, we will be okay.
I hear the voice inside as it urges me to fly
I feel the rising tide, and I know the reason why.
I see a new sun rise when instead of choosing hide, I choode to seek.
So when my heart starts to speak,
I will listen.
