Favorite Quote:
You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should've behaved better. -Anne Lamott, from Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life.


I have been lost for a while now
And I'm hanging by a thread
I have been bruised, I have been used
But I am ready to start again

It seems like the whole world is cheering us on
I can see through the ashes my defenses are gone
All the sand in my footprints, and rocks in my shoes
Gentle as raindrops I'm falling for you

Up in the mountains
There is a song
It plays through the trees
And the flowers sing along
Up in the mountains
Down by the stream
The whole world is singing
For you and me

I have been cold for a while now
And I'm shaking all of my leaves
I have been warm, I have been torn
And I'm drifting away with the sea

I found you in shadows, under the stars
I held you in spaces close to my heart
In all of the snowfalls and all of the clouds
You lift me up higher and I can't come down

Up in the mountains
There is a song
It plays through the trees
And the flowers sing along
Up in the mountains
Down by the stream
The whole world is singing
For you and me

And when it rains, oh how it pours
Makes me crazy, makes me want you more
Down in the valley I'm crying for you
Oh let me love you

With all of the raindrops
And all of the roses
I'm falling for you
And the whole world knows it
Up in the mountains
Down by the stream
The whole world is singing
For you and me
