about

Back in 2019, I was deeply moved and touched by the latest fires in Australia and the Amazon (before the pandemic hit) and that led me to write a song about change. Moving from deep sorrow to the need of making a difference through my music, I sat down at my piano and let this song come through me in a very natural way.

I am deeply inspired by the possibility of having people reconnect to their leadership, coming together as a community to protect the Earth. We often say 'our planet' but is it ours? We are simply guests and I feel the urgency now more than ever to use my music and words to support positive change.

lyrics

Screams of fears

but no words come out

eyes of love

when everything looks wrong



They don't have a choice

but to run away

the fire is burning

and the body is frail



CHORUS

a wave of love across the world

somebody has never lost hope


now it's time to wake up

even if you don't know where to start

Pain is easily buried

when your life is noisy

and frantic

not held accountable

when nature is harmed

You'll be pretending

it's just another false alarm


CHORUS

a wave of love across the world

we're faraway, yet it feels like home

now it's time to wake up

even if you don't know where to start



We spend our time

running around like butterflies

loving the beauty when we see it

Our self esteem is torn down

when our actions rely on relentless approval


There's plenty we can do

Whispering our truth

Avoiding that our words

will be dust on earth

will be nothing but splinters
