There Is Always A Way – Sprite Song

Yet ANOTHER song for Jill Jaysen’s new musical “BeautyFull”. This song is song by the forest sprites who find Iris, who has been ostracized from the Kingdom of Conformity for “not fitting in”. She’s about to discover that getting kicked out of the Kingdom of Conformity is basically the best thing that could happen to her…

World premiere is June 12th, 2010! Westport CT, The Seabury Center.

Oh, definitely listen to this in Headphones! Little computer speakers don’t do justice.
Special guest appearance by Mike Frye-Hunt who has been laboring to transcribe all the new songs from “BeautyFull” into sheet music. Scroll down for lyrics. Life In Song “BackStage Pass” Members download the mp3 here

Lyrics:

There Is Always A Way (Sprite Song) 4/27/2010 |Song #419

Part 1:
Oh to be a Sprite
And fill the world with light
To fill the world with light and love and laughter

Oh to be a Sprite
And shine so very bright
Shine so very bright forever after…
[repeat as necessary then slow and fade]

Part 2:
How do you take graffiti on the wall of life
And turn it into poetry?
How do you take a tub of sloppy mud
And spin it into pottery?

How can you be true to who you are
Even when your life feels like a mess
How can you dream upon a star
And build a strong foundation for success?

That’s where I come in Baby!
I’m the Sprite of Possibility
That’s where we come in Baby!
We are the Sprites of Possibility
We are the solution to your personal evolution
Creativity, Positivity, Originality,
Relativity, Curiosity, Ingenuity
Sensitivity, Opportunity, Inner Beauty,
(By The Way, that was a hint!)

We’re gonna help you clear your mind
And get out of your own way
And you know you’re going to find
That there is always a way…

Refrain:
There is always a way
There is always a way
There is always a way…
To get back home

The secret is… there is no secret
The answers are inside of you
Instead of trying to be like everyone else
What would it be like to simply be your self?

You kept getting tangled up in avoiding “different”
So that you could feel special and important
And you seem to have missed the fact totally
That you are already full of beauty (that’s another hint!)

Refrain:
There is always a way
There is always a way
There is always a way…
To get back home

How do you take graffiti on the wall of life
And turn it into poetry?
How do you take a tub of sloppy mud
And spin it into pottery?

How can you be true to who you are
Even when your life feels like a mess?
How can you dream upon a star
And build a strong foundation for success?

Refrain:
There is always a way
There is always a way
There is always a way
There is always a way
There is always a way
There is always a way
There is always a way…
To get back home

Part 1:
Oh to be a Sprite
And fill the world with light
To fill the world with light and love and laughter

Oh to be a Sprite
And shine so very bright
Shine so very bright forever after

[Fade out…]

They love (your song) and ask to listen to it, ALWAYS.

My name is Cecile. I teach kindergarten at OMSD. I had the pleasure of using your song Together We Can Change The World to help my students make a difference in this wonderful world! They love it and ask to listen to it, ALWAYS.

Cecile Arvizo

Been singing the chorus since the first day I heard it…

I sh*t you not when I say I’ve been singing the chorus to Honest Rock since the first day I heard it. I sing this every single day. Many times a day. Seriously. It’s like a mantra to me. It soothes me:-)

Gene Moore

I loved the song and listened to it 3 times….

Hi Mark, I just had to tell you this. I emailed my 3 granddaughters the song you wrote who are sisters with the youngest being 11 years old, has cerebral palsy and is very smart, is able to talk, very funny, uses a computer, is able to write, now is learning to play drums, emails me ‘Thanks. I do.’ I loved the song and listened to it 3 times.

Gail Russ

Enjoying your songs so much…

Hello Mark. I am enjoying your songs so much! I’d love to see you play live somewhere.

Marianne

You have put a grown man in tears…

Mark, this song and message really hit home for me today. You have put a grown man in tears. Thank You for what you do. Sometimes I think you sound kind of cheesy, and then others, I think you are a genius, and I’m beginning to realize that you actually care about helping people. So hard to “get out of your own way” sometimes…thanks for the reminder.

Jeremy

For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love…

Dear Mark, THANK YOU for sending *Spark & Flame*!!!! This CD certainly is a compilation of Conscious Love Songs! As I listen I am transported to memory after memory past, present and future, fulfilled and unfulfilled. I was flooded with many different emotions. I cried, laughed, held my breath and also breathed deep heart-centered breaths of connection to the Divine. I feel joy, grief, sadness, compassion, love, awe, freedom, kindness, gratitude and appreciation. For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love, releasing, acceptance for what was, what is and who I am. Knowing that I am enough and that I am Divinely Loved.
