We all have times we feel lost and can’t see the path before us. Chris Chickering is a singer-songwriter/producer whose songs shine a light on that path through messages of hope, healing and empowerment. Since 2012 he has recorded six studio albums: Shine (2012), Living in the Now (2013), The Resurrection of Me (2014), The Better Side (2015), Regeneration (2015), and The Hero’s Journey (fall, 2017).

Fueled by a desire to empower himself and others, Chris has always found music to be a refuge for guidance and inspiration, especially during his most challenging times. Growing up in San Francisco, Chris was influenced by artists like Cat Stevens, Neil Young, Train and The Rolling Stones, and moved by the humanitarian efforts of singer-songwriter Harry Chapin, to create his own unique message-driven music.

PERSONAL STATEMENT: 
Music is my oldest friend, the one I could always count on to soothe my spirit and deliver guidance, especially during the hard times.

As a kid, I remember listening intently to the lyrics of great singer-songwriters like Cat Stevens, Neil Young, Jim Croce and Harry Chapin, and to bands like The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Doors and The Beatles, feeling peace and calm.

As a young man, trying to find my way in the world, I gravitated toward personal-growth books, programs and seminars to help answer the question,“Why am I here?”

LYRICS:
Freedom Lies Within
© Words and music by Chris Chickering (Chris Chickering
Music, BMI) and Greg Barnhill (Gatorized Music, SESAC).
2013. All rights reserved.

Everybody wants to run away to some far away paradise
To get outside their lives
But they don't realize
That heaven's not a place that lives inouter-space
It's closer than you might have known
And if you'll just be still
And accept it all you will

Find everything you're lookin’ for
Has been right here all this
Time and this is what I know for sure
You won't nd it out there

Truth is that the peace lies underneath the skin
Let go
‘Cause freedom lies within

Forget about the money
Runnin' after somethin’
Someone on a dierent path
'Cause things you cannot change
Will only bring you pain

There's a realization
in the meditation
The quiet of your mind
So take your happiness
And breathe it in and live
And you will

Find everything you're lookin’ for
Was right there all the
Time and this is what I know for sure
You won't nd it out there

Truth is that the peace lies underneath the skin
Let go
’Cause freedom lies within

And you will
Find everything you're lookin’ for
Has been right there all this
Time and this is what I know for sure
You won't find it out there

Truth is that the peace lies underneath the skin
Let go
’Cause freedom lies within
Freedom lies within
Freedom lies within
Woah…
