New sketch I'm working on, it's been a while so I thought I'd share :) 

Thanks so much for listening everyone! 

If You're Listening
Hey you up there are you listening?
Because I feel so all alone
And I mingle with the people
But it doesn't feel like home.
I greet them with an open heart
And the smile will reach my eyes
But somehow this soul is set apart
Wearing courage her disguise

Love, love, love
Oh it's just beyond my reach
But I feel it in the sunrise
In the dancing of the leaves
Love, love, love
Oh I've seen it in my dreams
So hey you up there, if you're listening
Show me you can hear my plea.

I float on with the river
And as I crash upon the stones
The cleansing flow it brings new hope
And it's seeping through my bones.
Spirit guides, please guide me
I've surely lost my way
I don't know if I should fight or hide
Paralyzed by fear or faith.

Love, love, love
Oh it's just beyond my reach
But I feel it in the rainfall
And I hear it on the breeze
Love, love, love
Oh I've seen it in my dreams
So hey you up there if you're listening
Show me you can hear my plea.

Here I stand with my arms open wide
I raise my voice up to the night
And the lady moon she shines so bright
And I swear she whispers..... "It's alright"
Love, love, love
Always just beyond my reach
I feel it in the starlight
In the ground beneath my feet
Love, love, love
Here I'm down on bended knee
So hey you up there, if you're listening
Will you save some love for me
Hey you up there if you're listening
Will you save some love 
For me?

If You're Listening

Innocence

Take me to where,
Take me to where the sidewalk ends
Hold on to your, hold on to your sweet innocence 
And pray cause every day a little love dies
And young men cry, tears of blood and rage

What fools are we
What fools we silly mortals be
Ignoring our race, ignoring humanity's disgrace
Who will we hold on to, when the ground beneath us breaks
If we burn all our bridges, burn them all for shame

Why does the sidewalk, why does the sidewalk have to end?
Sometimes a boy is wiser than a man
Cause you can see there's still truth behind his eyes
No pretense and no lies

We wear this disguise 
Look at the world through narrowed eyes
Reverie fades
Open hearts join the masquerade
No, I will not grow cold
Gonna love with all I know
Hold on to the magic
Let it bring me home.









Innocence

Okay, so I must let it be known that I'm no fragile flower..... just sayin'. Sometimes I take an emotion and run with it. This is about the many sides of being in love.... the beauty, the magic, the vulnerability..... feeling the fear and doing it anyway. Please forgive the roughness of the track.... it's a work in progress. Thank you for listening!

Beautiful Madness

I just read an amazing book on life, death and what's beyond.... it got me thinking, then it got me writing.... then turned into a little song :) Thanks for listening my friends.

Calling
Over the hills and far away
Or possibly closer than they say
With the flowering trees and a sky of gold
Where no one ever grows cold
Over the hills and far away
Beyond a world of fire and faith
You watch me with those love lit eyes
And you bear my pain when I cry
Do you hear me calling?
Do you hear me calling?
I think you do.

Over the hills and in my dreams
There's a river that runs a deep blue green
It's the greenest blue you've ever seen
And its waters warm with healing
Over the hills and in my heart
Close as can be, yet oh so far
I feel you've loved me all my life
In the dark you hold a candle high
To guide me home
To guide me home
To guide me home

Let them judge and call me crazy
Let them try to prove me wrong
But this little light inside me
Burns on

Over the hills and far away
Or possibly closer than they say
You watch me with those love lit eyes
And you bear my pain when I cry
Do you hear me calling?
Do you hear me calling?
I think you hear me calling.....

I think you do.

Solace

Every once in a while, I'll post a song that is not a sappy love song..... this is not one of those times. Maybe next time :) What can I say? I'm a hopeless romantic. This is a new idea I'm playing with, in it's beginning stages. Thanks for listening!

Must be.....

So many struggle with depression and anxiety, it can feel like you're watching the world pass you by from a bubble... unable to reach out and touch anyone, watching life pass by while  worries and fears keep us apart and hold us back. But I think what we fail to realize is that we're not in the bubble alone. 

Lyrics

Do you ever feel
Like you were born in the wrong time
Born in the wrong time
And does it ever seem 
Like everyone around you 
Is losing their minds?
Oh oh...
I wake to face each day
Give thanks for the blessings
That've landed my way
But there must be something more
Otherwise what are those fairytales for?

Oh oh, what have I done?
Oh am I the only one?
Oh oh what have I done?
Oh am I the lonely one?

I close my eyes and see
All the dreams that I hold
All the me I could be
As I reach above my head
I wonder how in the hell
I get a hold of this feeling
Oh oh...

I think of how I've spent these years
I see my mistakes and I see how my fears
Kept the tale to just one page
Kept me locked up inside 
My self imposed cage

Oh oh, what have I done?
Oh am I the only one?
Oh oh what have I done?
Oh am I the lonely one?

And I wonder when will I find
A solution to this sadness to this melancholy mind
Is this the life I'm meant to lead?
Is this really me?
And oh oh tell me I'm wrong
Tell me there's someplace that I still belong
Oh oh tell me I'm right
Tell me there's someone to hold me tonight.

Lonely One

www.pledgemusic.com/projects/cyramorgan

Religion is such a sensitive and intense subject for people. I believe that everyone has their own path. I was raised Catholic, 12 years of Catholic school, I’ve studied the Bible. And Jesus was all about love and non judgement. I am an extremely spiritual person, however, I no longer consider myself Catholic because I don’t believe in dogma. I’m more of a Hindubuddhistian…. that’s right, I might put it on a t-shirt :) Spiritual beliefs from all around the world hold so much beauty, there is much to be gained from openness, from admitting that maybe our way isn’t the only way. I don’t believe that there is a human on earth that “knows”, without a doubt, the exact path the powers that be want each and every one of us to take, except to be kind to one another. 

When I read comments or see interviews with people that hide behind the Bible, that use religion to justify discrimination, judgement and hate, it makes me want to quit the internet. Instead I wrote a song. Hopefully I won’t lose too many friends because of this one, but this is what I believe…. my religion is love, compassion and kindness. I try to practice this every day, to choose love.

I have to send out a special thank you to @James Altucher for inspiring part of this song with his wonderful post a couple of months ago about Jesus. 

Lyrics
What if Jesus came back gay? 
What if Jesus came back gay?
What if Jesus came back and you just turned Him away…
What if Jesus came back gay?

How would you excuse your shame?
How would you excuse your shame?
How will you excuse it, 
Will you use the Bible’s name?
How will you excuse your shame?

Can we choose love, love?
Can we choose love, love?
Can we choose love, love?
For everyone.

What if Buddha came back a bug?
What if Buddha came back a bug?
What if Buddha came back and 
You squashed him with your Uggs?
What if Buddha came back a bug?

Let he who is blameless cast the first stone
Let he who is blameless cast the first stone
If it's you who is blameless, 
Will you judge from your glass home?
Let he who is blameless cast the first stone

Can we choose love, love
Can we choose love, love
Can we choose love, love
For everyone.

What if all you thought you knew was wrong?
What if all God asked of you was for us all to get along?
when blind devotion tarnishes our faith
all that’s left behind is fear and hate.


And the Lord wouldn’t like it one bit  
And he’d tell you that you’re full of shit
Cause he gave you no right to condemn
Or the guns you so fiercely defend
I hope that when I go to meet my maker
I can say…. 
That I chose Love... 
Can we choose love?


Choose Love

Sometimes all we can do is send light and love with all our hearts but personally, I think there's magic in that.

Shine

I have recently lost my dear friend Megan, who left behind two beautiful children. This song is for her, her children and her family and friends. 

You will be... 

My friend you will be missed 
My friend you will be missed 
They say that time will heal a wound 
But I can’t make sense of this 
You will be missed. 
You will be missed. 

My friend you are so loved 
My friend you are so loved 
I’ll find you as I search the sky 
In the gleaming stars above 
You are so loved. 
You are so loved. 

You can’t be far, I feel your arms around me 
I hear your voice, your laughter in my ears 
I feel your light, I know you’ll go on shining 
But oh…. why’d you have to go so soon. 

My friend you will be missed 
My friend you will be missed 
This world has lost a heart of gold 
And I can’t make sense of this 
You will be missed. 
You will be missed. 

Though you can’t be seen 
Now you’re a part of me 
I live within your light 
As you walk by my side 
You’re still loving me 
Watching over me…... 
You are so loved.

You Will Be....

This is an idea that popped into my head during a yoga class..... my teacher was talking about presence, about truly listening to your inner self, your higher power, whoever that may be. It resonated with me, so naturally had to make it a song :) Thanks as always for lending your ears.

Waiting

I've been waiting, waiting, waiting
But for what I'm not quite sure
I'm waiting, waiting, waiting
keep my eyes upon the door
Will I like it? What I find?
Or will I be stubborn blind?
All caught up in me.

I wait, I wait, wait
hope I don't dry out on the shelf
anticipating, with breath bated
for this thing to show itself
sitting on my treasure trove
where the hell did that key go?
Must be lost at sea

And if God calls will I be listening?
Will I pick up the phone?
If God calls with all the answers
Will there be anyone home?

I've been waiting, waiting, waiting
For my time to come around
It's been grating, grating, grating
all this wait has got me down
But what I have failed to see
That I've been missing everything
waiting for me.

And if God calls will I be listening?
Will there be anyone home?
If God calls with all the answers
Will I pick up the phone?
Please leave a message
While I sing my song
I'll sing it loud, I'll sing it strong 
Come dance along
Don't matter if we do it wrong
Come dance with me

And if God calls will I be listening?
Will I pick up the phone?
If God calls with all the answers
Will there be anyone home?
Please leave a message at the tone.



Waiting

As always, thanks for listening and much love.

Lyrics:
Can I curl up next to you for awhile?
I'll tell you a joke make you laugh, make you smile
Leave all that chaos behind
Lace your fingers through mine
There's a place where
No one will find us, let's go there
Bring all the love we can bear
If I bury my face in the crook of your neck 
Will you take me away, will you make me forget?
If I let myself cry will you pull me in tight
Wipe the tears from my cheek, tell me love it's all right?
I've got you, and as I live and breathe
You've got me, and this is all we need
It's precious, this stolen moment's 
A blessing, 
you're head at my heart
pressed against me 
It’s beating its Opus for you
If I bury my face in the crook of your neck 
Will you take me away will you make me forget?
I feel lost, I feel broken but here by your side
All is right with the world and there's no need to hide
I’ve got you, and as I live and breathe
You've got me, and this is all I need.
you're like starlight 
illuminating the 
black night
my sanctuary 
you're soft sigh, 
so temporary 
but true.
I've got you, and as I live and breathe
You've got  me, this is all we need

Sanctuary

The hummingbird symbolizes accomplishing that which seems impossible..... I love that. A few times over the past year, when I was feeling particularly low, I'd get a funny visit from one of these little guys and somehow felt better. Happy New Year everyone! 

Small side note: I'm fumbling my way through learning Reason so, record level is low and still trying to find my way through effects and such, so please bear with me :) Thanks as always for listening.

And a special thanks to

Hummingbird

He walks on wings
Does marvelous things
Drinks nectar sweet
Lives life so complete
He hovers by
And catches my eye
Then backward he flies
Hummingbird
It's only impossible until it's not
So if you believe and if it's all you've got
Don't stop..... 
Walk on wings.

They say stick to the ground
Keep your head from the clouds
Tell you life isn't fair
Leave you naked and scared
As I walk to the edge
I hear a low hum
And I know that he's come
It's only impossible until it's not
So if you believe and if it's all you've got
Don't stop..... 

They'll tell you that you'll never fly
But how will you know?
If you never try
Appeal to your practical side
Break out of those chains 
Let go of that pride
Take to the sky



Hummingbird

It's been so long, I know and, this one is still has a ways to go... but better late than never? As always, thanks for listening my friends ❤

If We Stay

It's been a little while since I've posted, but this is a little something I've been working on, still needs work, but they all do :) Thanks as always everybody!

Breathing
When you fall out of love
And you're falling apart
And you feel like you've lost
A piece of yourself, a piece of your heart
And you burn in the fire
Cause the only way out is through
And I'm so very tired
And I don't want to fight with you
Anymore

When your world comes crashing down
And you can't keep it up
And your ship's run aground
Impossibly stuck, Impossibly stuck
And we burn in the fire
Cause the only way out is through
As we sift through the pyre 
I don't want to keep hurting you
anymore

Every breath is a new one
Every second a start 
Each new blink
A reminder
The tears in my eyes 
Can sparkle like stars
So I just keep on breathing
I try to keep breathing
Come on keep on breathing
And I'll be okay
Just get through today

Breathe in and out
Breathe in and out
Through all the shouting
All the doubt
It's so overwhelming
But we'll figure it out

Every breath is a new one
Every sunrise a start
Each new smile
Is a Godsend
Reminding me I
Have made it this far.....

Breathing

Some of you may have heard this on David's page already but a couple of months ago I had the wonderful pleasure of collaborating with David Noel and adding some vocals to his beautiful guitar sketch. So grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with him! As always, thanks so much for listening!

Look around and 
hold that love in your eyes 
stars surround you 
pluck them out of sky 
Cause they'll all drift by in moment 
so tuck them away one by one 
keep them safe in the place in your heart 
where you shine like the sun 
And the grass lies so softly beneath you 
and the wind gently kisses your cheek 
each second so precious 
this moment the treasure you seek. 
Look around 
with all that love in your eyes 
Hold on this moment, it's all for you 
No one can take it away now it's safe 
in your heart where the sky will forever be blue

I thought I'd try another piano sketch, my keyboard is on it's last leg and my piano skills are rudimentary at best but this one has been floating around in my head for a bit now..... much love and thanks to you all for your inspiration, encouragement and overall awesomeness. 

And special thank you to Rockshamrover (Vinny) for talking me off the ledge and keeping this one out of the trash bin :)

Woke up with this in my head this morning..... thought I'd post.

Enough

Hey everyone!  I'm predominately a singer songwriter, my style is an intimate acoustic folk. Most of my tracks on here are sketches, in their most raw and vulnerable state. My truths. My therapy. The incredible support from this community gives me the courage to keep writing and posting, imperfections and all. SoundCloud has kind of changed my life and for that I will be forever grateful. I've also had the opportunity to work on some incredible collaborations with some amazingly talented artists. Some tracks are free downloads and some others are available for purchase on itunes, CD Baby and Bandcamp. Thanks so much for listening..... 

Much Love,
Cyra
