This song is about singing, dancing, praying and standing to keep things moving. when I'm up against a block, feel myself stuck (especially emotionally), song is usually my first go-to tool to just shift things a bit, shake things up, physically start to dislodge that lump in my throat or the knot in my chest. It helps. It works. We all have our tools, or are in the process of discovering them (so stick in whatever verb fits for you when singing this song-- yell, swim, paint, run, play, etc). Using those when it's called for is a whole other thing--- getting past ego, and/or mustering up the energy are challenges I find myself struggling with in those moments when I know exercising my gifts would be of benefit-- maybe you can relate.
This song is a little reminder of that-- use those tools! Maybe at this time of New Year's resolutions, it's particularly good to remember to assess the gifts we have, shake the dust off, and put them into practice.
lyrics
Feel the wind blow
See the Spirit moving through
Let sense of time go
And all the things you've
"got to do"
Make space for Silence.
I seek my heart's voice
and to surrender to the ride
Witness a process
of embracing all the things I hide
Make space for Silence
Make space for Silence.
Go even deeper now
To the Devine and become the Whole
Rejoin the river
Find and dig out some heavy stones
Make space for Silence
Make space for Silence.
It's time to sing
It's time to sing,
I gotta move this
Gotta move this.
It's time to dance
It's time to dance
gotta move this,
gotta move this
It's time to pray
It's time to pray
gotta move this,
gotta move this
It's time to stand
It's time to stand
gotta move this,
gotta move this.
Won't you take my hand
won't you take my hand
Stand up
Call in the light
It is time
