about

This is the originally inspired version of this song. Learning to love unconditionally is an endless quest, and this track captures the deep yearning of that goal.

lyrics

Teach Me How to Love

Teach me how to love. Give me the strength to open this window.
Teach me how to love, to let the light shine in to every dusty, dark corner.


A faint flicker burns in the far end of this room.
The darkness yearns to be awakened from the night, to feel the love of illumination.
Cold chambers sleep and wait for the warm breath of daylight.
A stroke on the cheek is all that it takes to bring senses to life again.

Teach me how to love. Give me the strength to open this window.
Teach me how to love, to let the light shine in to every dusty, dark corner

Sunlight streams through revealing the hues of the rainbow,
on a painted canvas come true; the animation of dreams through heartfelt emotion.
Hope comes alive as melodies dance on a ceiling.
Imagination arrives with palate in hand to add detail and meaning.

The room now ablaze, consumed by the warm kiss of firelight.
While hungry flames shoot out across the sky, leaving sprinkles of starlight.
New sparks take hold. Each twinkle a song of rejoicing.
And so goes the flow, burning past this windowpane in a silent voice.

Music is the language of my heart and my favorite form of creative expression. Writing songs all my life, I feel the healing love and truth that come through. I'm humbly grateful. I sing because songs are given to me. I pass them on so that anyone who resonates may also benefit. As we each step into our full light, we encourage others to do the same. Thanks so much for your love & support. Enjoy! ... more
