Between the Notes

A piano...that's what this song needs to bring it to life.  Maybe someone will play the melody I hear in my head or come up with a completely new one.  Gotta love the piano! It changes the whole sound of a song vs. the guitar.  My wise friend, Marilyn, shared something with me while I was recently going through some struggles in life.  She said, "In order for you to move forward, you need to rest."  I took her advice and a new song was birthed. 

Between the Notes   

Are you living in a symphony
Where the music doesn’t sound beautiful
Is the volume getting louder
Clanging symbols with decibels out of your control
     Clashing notes that want to soar
     Like your life wrestling for control

Chorus:

Between the notes on the page there’s a rest that is placed
So you can breathe, discover and dream
Let yourself go let yourself into that space
Between the notes
Between the notes on the page

Like an invitation you RSVP
Willfully you respond
With a little hesitation it’s been a season
Where your spirit has felt parched
     Struggling just to make it through
     When you’re not sure what to do

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
If you want to move forward step back fall back
don’t run away…don’t run away stay

Repeat Chorus
