If you’re curious about my songwriting process, I actually had the video camera running late at night when the first nudges of this song “came through”… check it out here: https://markshepardsongs.com/515-light-a-lamp-1st-draft/
I Will Light A Lamp
Inspired by “Suffering” Stage # 1 of 12 Stages of Extraordinary Experiencing by Donnie Epstein.
Song # 515 | 2/17/16 | Tuning: DADGAD
Disconnected and in despair…
Everything seems beyond repair…
Helpless, hopeless and afraid…
Nothing works and it won’t go away
But I am more than this dis-ease…
I am more than this field of pain
When I accept that there is no release…
That’s when everything begins to change
Refrain:
Suffering is where we all begin.
Breathe the Love in to the wounded place within
Overwhelmed and tangled up in pain
I must stop attempting to explain
Why “what is,” is not what I wish for it to be
When I accept it as a gift…I set myself free
Refrain:
But we are more than…what we think is real
We can’t heal… what we can not feel…
The Love I feel for you caught me unprepared
Because I love myself more than I have ever dared
Refrain:
Bridge: How does the rage of open wounds
Pull us through the night?
How does the Source of countless tunes
Always bring the light?
I will light a lamp for you…. and I will leave it on…
