about

I wrote this after doing a personal development workshop called 'The Journey' and was feeling happy to be alive.

lyrics

Journey Melody
(B.R. Wood)

How many beats has your heart beaten?
How many breaths have you breathed in?
How long for did you run away
before you turned around and dived right in?

How many miles have you travelled?
How far are you prepared to go
to meet what you gotta meet
to find yourself returning home?

Journey travellers lets go come along
The earth turns and the beat goes on
Journey melody join in sing a long
Feel your heart beat under the song
Ba- boom ba- boom ba-boom ba- boom

How far’d you crawl before you walked?
How many times did you fall down?
How long to learn to balance
and rise up beyond the ground?

How about when you got stuck?
Didn’t know just what to do?
How about when you took a deep breath
Called for help and let it come to you?

Journey travellers lets go come along
The earth turns and the beat goes on
Journey melody join in sing a long
Feel your heart beat under the song
Ba- boom ba- boom ba-boom ba- boom

How many feelings have you felt?
Coursing through your blood in your veins?
Pain and joy and fear and love and
all kinds of things you could never name


How much stuff has flowed moved
slid crashed and shifted through
this vessel of mysteriously unravelling unfolding you

Journey travellers lets go come along
The earth turns and the beat goes on
Journey melody join in sing a long
Feel your heart beat under the song
Ba- boom ba- boom ba-boom ba- boom

You used to wait for guarantees
Now you get on and do it
You used to creep around your life
Now you bravely walk on through it

When you count your blessings
and the grace on you bestowed
When you count your lucky stars
you don’t have enough fingers and toes.

All is welcome here
Everything belongs
All is perfect here
And has been all along
