175 Coming Home Version 1

24994777_sThis song reflects work I was doing in the late 80’s and 90’s healing my life. I was struggling on many fronts. Physically, I was exhausted and seemed to be unable to digest my food properly. Emotionally I was full of anger, sadness, fear, shame…you name it I was getting clobbered by it. I could not for the life of me seem to be able to do anything significant with my music. Couldn’t perform it or sell it or market it or anything. So I began to study Energy Healing with a woman named Mearah Marqua who was one of Barbara Brennon’s first students. I studied with her and a group of other people seeking to heal their lives one weekend a month. Slowly things began to change. But first of course they fell apart even more! Eventually, step by step (always taking way longer than I wanted :o) the healing began and the thriving and joy followed. Please share this link with anyone you know who may need some healing support. Thanks for listening! – Mark

Coming Home Version 1

Song #175 | 3/31/92 | CD: Visions and Voices | See Also Version 2 from Thirsty For The Sky |

I’ve been walking through frozen winter fields,
I have been stalking this strange new way I feel
I’ve seen shadows rise up and become real
I have seen the children who live on what they steal

Look around you can you tell me what you see?
What part of it is illusion is illusion
What part of it is real
Glance beyond me, Can you tell me where I end
We are all much farther than we’ve ever thought we’d been

Refrain:
It’s been a long time that I’ve been gone
It’s been a long time that I’ve been gone
It’s been a long time that I’ve been gone
But I believe I’m coming Home

Take me with you to the higher lands
Touch my sweaty forehead and teach me how to dance
Lay your hands upon me and touch me where it hurts
Raise me up and heal me with your gentle words

Refrain:

You are chosen to live within the Light
And I was born to tell you that it is yours by birthright
I am holy, but if only you could see
You are just as holy, as holy as me…

Refrain: (X2)

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

Your song was just perfect to start my day…

Mark, your song ‘Freedom (It’s Been  Long Road)’ was just perfect to start my day. I LOVE IT!  Thank you, Thank you.  Blessings to you and much gratitude for your musical gift.

Robin Bridgeford

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.
