Never Waver
Encouragement from dear friends compelled me to write another song. Although my first song, Place of Love, came to me without effort, I know that it came from my deep connection to my spirit and my soul, which is always there.
This morning, after a deep reflection and request for a song about the winter solstice, I wrote and wrote, then developed a song from the words. It took more effort than Place of Love. This is ok, because I loved the process. It sparked my creativity and my love of how words can work together to express meaning and sound beautiful at the same time.
Enjoy this rendition of my new song for the Winter Solstice, which is today.
Never Waver - Original Lyrics with music and vocals by Suno.com
Never Waver
As the sun sleeps in winter
I live with the dark and cold of earth
The darkness holds gloom and loss of hope
And I’ve lost my footing
I know that the dark is fleeting
The sun is always shining
Yet in my heart I feel like I’m climbing
Endlessly…
The days will get longer
The dark makes us stronger
The true light is in me
I’ll never waver
I belong here
Never waver
You belong here
The light, the hope
The light, the hope
We are light we are love
As we shine our own light outward
We leave the darkness behind
Embrace the dark
It gives us rest
Embrace the dark
And take a deep breath
Breathe in the darkness
Love the time for reflection
Breathe in the darkness
And find a new direction
This is the time to start anew
To begin again
And change the view
I’ll never waver
I belong here
Never waver
You belong here
The light, the hope
The light, the hope
We are light we are love
As we shine our own light outward
We leave the darkness behind
We are light we are love as we shine our own light outward
We leave the darkness behind
Embrace the dark
It gives us rest
Embrace the dark
And take a deep breath
This is the time to start anew
To begin again
