SONG OF A
THOUSAND
LEAVES
Return to Love
Devon, UK 2013
I wrote this song in December 2013, by Dad’s bedside in the last two weeks of his beautiful life and I dedicate it to all the souls who are facing the biggest journey of their life, may they surrender to this river that will carry them home. May their families and loved ones open to the magic of this profound time, and receive all the teachings and blessings of death in peaceful acceptance. May we all experience life to its fullest with hearts wide open and embrace the next chapter with open arms when the time comes.

We return to love
Leave behind the fears
That stops your wings unfolding
We return to love
Surrender to the river
That carries you home
We return to love
We return to love
We return to love
And we
We return to love
We return to love
We return
And
May the light in thine eyes
Guide you on your way
A path of strength and faith
You are a star that never fades
May the light in thy heart
Forever grace my words
My breath, these songs, this earth
Sing a new star into birth
May peace be with you
Let peace be with you
May peace be with you
Repeat all
