Just trying to use song as a form of personal growth. Listened to an awesome meditation on the Calm app by Jay Shetty this morning that inspired this song. Would like to eventually rework the vocal on this but it's close enough for FAWM.
INTRO
He-ee-yay-ee- ay
VERSE 1
My mind is a garden
These thoughts are the seeds
I’ll tend to the fruits
And pull out the weeds
I’ll let in the sun
So my blossoms can grow
The beautiful truth is
You reap what you sow
CHORUS
Remind me to sing this song every day X 2
Every day, He-ee-yay-ee- ay
VERSE 2
My body’s the earth
These thoughts are the sky
I’ll sit like a rock
And let ‘em pass by
Some days they are stormy
And some days they’re gray
I’ll let them mold
but not wash me away
CHORUS
Remind me to sing this song every day X 2
Every day, He-ee-yay-ee- ay
BRIDGE
Awakening
Every day
Rising up
To make my way
Reprogram codes
Inside my brain
To find my joy
Release my pain
Breathing deeply
Seeking grace
Moving toward a peaceful place
VERSE 3
Every one that I meet
Has something to teach
About how I think
And what I believe
So I’ll move through my days
With my eyes open wide
& honor the gift
Of this one precious life
CHORUS
Remind me to sing this song every day X 2
I will sing this song every day X 2
Every day, He-ee-yay-ee- ay

I was looking to hear a song and picked this over "I Love You But..." I think I made the right choice for my frame of mind! I'm listening for the mando in here, is it there or is that guitar? Just haven't had a chance to add it in yet? Ok, that's cool.
This is delightful, and it sounds like a Beth K. song that already existed just under the surface of the dark soil garden, waiting to sprout, at which point you spotted it and dove down to nurture and encourage it up out into the air. It is a delight. Let me say that again, if only for my own benefit. A delight!

I like the images in this. I've listened to several of your songs here, and I like the way your voice adapts to the music and the message in each one.

Think Calm might be interested in putting this on their app? This is the feel good song to end all feel good songs, Beth. Glad you are here this year.

Thank you for taking what you received in meditation and sharing it in the form of a song with all of us! Great message, so catchy and fun!

Such a lovely sentiment that rings through with a feeling of heartfelt sincerity. Gorgeous clear vocals that make the melody so beautiful.

What an upbeat hopeful song! A great lyric to show a positive way forward!

You must be the most inspired person ever, Beth. Or at least the most inspirational! You are chock full of uplifting messages, each one as beautiful and moving as the last. This one belongs in a film; I can imagine it as the soundtrack during the montage when the character finally decides to get their act together. Probably in a Pixar movie while they rebuilt a boat that's been in disrepair for ages.
Do you need a reminder that your voice is gorgeous? I don't know, but here's one anyway. :)

Your voice is so beautiful. Gentle but strong. The harmonies and dynamics make it so easy to absorb. This was a needed ray of sunshine for me today. Thanks for the lift! Please keep writing
