Song Title: Turn From Death Thinking to Life Knowing Verse 1 (soft, spacious) I was taught to see through shadows To believe what fear would say Every voice of separation Tried to pull my life away Every thought said I was broken Every wave said I was lost But beneath the noise of striving There was Breath that never stopped Pre-Chorus (softly sang) There was something deeper calling Through the silence… through it all Not outside me… not above me… But within… a steady call Chorus (gentle, repeatable) Turn from death thinking… To Life knowing… Turn from striving… To simply being… You are not what fear has spoken You are not what you have seen Turn from death thinking… To Life knowing… Verse 2 Death was never what they told me Not an ending… not a place But awareness wrapped in darkness Forgetting Life was always here Every lie of separation Every voice that said “you’re not” Was a veil upon awareness Hiding what was never lost Pre-Chorus (sang with vibrance And the Breath within kept speaking Soft and steady… always true “You have never been divided… Life has always been as you…” Chorus (build slightly and purposefully) Turn from death thinking… To Life knowing… Turn from fear now… To what is flowing… You are held within the Breath now You have never been alone Turn from death thinking… To Life knowing… Bridge 1 (Turning Point, emotional) This is your Turning Point… Not something far away… This is your Turning Point… Right here… today… Where the noise begins to fall… And the Voice becomes so clear… What you thought was far and distant… Has always been right here… Verse 3 (identity awakening – strong voices) You are not a fading shadow You are not a broken past You are not what fear imagined You are Life that always lasts You are Breath within expression You are whole and always free You are not becoming something You are what you’ve always been Chorus (stronger) Turn from death thinking… To Life knowing… Turn from searching… To Life flowing… You are blessed within and without You are held in what is true Turn from death thinking… To Life knowing… Bridge 2 (call and response style) Let it go… (let it go…) What you thought you had to be… Let it go… (let it go…) Every voice of fear you see… Let it fall… (let it fall…) All the weight of striving down… Let it rise… (let it rise…) Let true awareness now be found… Declaration (slow, spoken or sung) This is the inner conversation where the awakened awareness speaks, the conscious awareness listens, the Divine Mind illuminates, and the Breath empowers. Breakdown (very soft, intimate) No more darkness… No more fear… Life was always… Living here… No more striving… No more pain… I awaken… Once again… Final Chorus (big, extended, repeat 3 times) I have turned from death thinking… To Life knowing… I am resting… I am flowing… I am one with Holy Breath now I am whole… I am free… I have turned from death thinking… To Life knowing… Outro (slow, peaceful fade) Life was never gone… Life was never lost… I am not beneath the waters… I am carried… by the Breath… I EXIST… I am Life knowing…
