Be Nothing Like Me, Wilma (Dec 2023)

A song about a man who thought he'd never find love again, but was wrong

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
I thought I knew love, but I was wrong
My heart was  empty, like an unfinished song
Then you came along, and everything changed
You filled my world with love, my life was rearranged

Chorus:
You're my second chance, my forever love
A love that fits me like a glove
With you, I know I'm finally home
In your arms, I'll never be alone

Verse 2:
Your love's a force, so strong and true
It lifts me up, and makes me new
You're the missing piece, I've been searching for
With you by my side, I know I'll soar

Chorus:
You're my second chance, my forever love
A love that fits me like a glove
With you, I know I'm finally home
In your arms, I'll never be alone

Bridge:
I never knew love could feel this way
But you've shown me, every single day
That love is real, and it's here to stay
With you, my love, I'll never stray

Chorus:
You're my second chance, my forever love
A love that fits me like a glove
With you, I know I'm finally home
In your arms, I'll never be alone

Outro:
I'm so grateful for this second chance
To love again, to take this dance
With you, my love, I've found my way
Together, forever, is where we'll stay

Second Chance

sleep And I
have never been the best of
friends And I
can tell you how the story
ends 'cause I
know you're in there waiting for me

every night
I lie awake beneath the
starry sky
always seems so endless
and your eyes
are out there looking back  at me
 
ethereal
elucidated through the air 
a vision whispered In her eyes 
the stars are braided through her hair 
the universe her ribbon ties 

celestial
Illuminated by her lips
collision colouring her words
her starlight eyes are in eclipse
It's all cosmologically hers 

sleep And I
have never been the best of

can tell you how the story

every night
I lie awake beneath the
starry sky
always seems so endless
and your eyes
are out there looking back  at me
 
ethereal
elucidated through the air 
a vision whispered In her eyes 
the stars are braided through her hair 
the universe her ribbon ties 

celestial
Illuminated by her lips
collision colouring her words
her starlight eyes are in eclipse
It's all cosmologically hers

With lyrics that speak to overcoming denial and embracing acceptance, "Rainbow Garden" inspires us to stand together, heal our land, and create a brighter future with love and grace.

Lyrics:

Enlightenment, a gift from deep within, 
A beacon of hope, a light in the dark, 
A power that ignites a spark.

Denial may try to hold us back.
But the truth will always lead the pack, 
We're all connected, a part of one whole, 
With greatness within us, a mighty goal.

The world's troubles, they may seem so great, 
But with our power, we can change our fate, 
Acceptance is key, the first step to take, 
To build a brighter future, for our own sake. 

Together we stand, united as one, 
Our strength will rise with the morning sun. 
Our potential is limitless, let's make a vow 
To heal our land and make it proud.

So let's be grateful for this gift we've been given, 
A power to change, to make life worth living. 

Let's use it wisely to create a better place 
For all of humanity, with love and grace, 
With love and grace, with love and grace,

For all of humanity, with love and grace.

A wife of many years sings to her husband in his decline from Alzheimer's Disease.

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
In the fading light of evening, I see you drifting away,
Lost in the fog of memories, that won't let you stay.
Your eyes search for answers, in this cruel and confusing haze,
And I wish I could reach you, but you're lost in a maze.

(Pre-Chorus)
I see your frustration, as you struggle for words,
The pain in your eyes, as your voice goes unheard.
I'm here by your side, but I can't make it go away,
The heartache I feel, as I watch you fade each day.

(Chorus)
A shadow descends, casting a veil on your mind,
But I'll be your light, through the darkness we'll find.
Though you might not remember, our love it won't change,
I'll hold your hand, through the pain and the strange.

(Verse 2)
You talk of the past, like it's happening now,
The lines of time blurred, on your furrowed brow.
You're searching for comfort, in a world that's lost its face,
And I'm here to embrace you, in this heartbreaking place.

(Repeat  Chorus)

(Bridge)
I'll sing you our song, and dance with your ghost,
Through the echoes of laughter, and the time that we've lost.
Though your mind may be wandering, your heart beats the same,
And I'll cherish each moment, in this heartbreaking game.

(piano solo)

(Outro)
I will cherish the love, that's stronger than time,
All the moments we shared, and the feelings divine.
Though your mind may be fading, my love will remain,
I'll be right here waiting, 'til we meet once again

A Shadow Descends

You're the missing piece that I've been searching for Without you, I'm incomplete, I need you more and more Every moment without you feels like a chore Come closer to me, I'll never let you go

You Needing Me

Welcome to the musical world of The William Altig Choir, where ancient wisdom meets contemporary sound.

Inspired by the teachings of the Lotus Sutra and infused with deep spiritual themes, my music blends the rich traditions of blues and folk with modern elements, creating a unique fusion that resonates with both the heart and soul.

I've been captivated by the Lotus Sutra's messages of compassion, wisdom, and transformation since my youth. It's a journey of self-discovery that has found its voice in my music. Each song is a reflection of my own spiritual awakening and a celebration of universal truths.

My style is characterized by emotive storytelling, powerful lyrics, and a commitment to exploring the depths of human experience. Featuring contemplative blues, acoustic slide guitar, saxophone melodies, and the harmonies of a gospel choir, my music reflects a quest for enlightenment and a better understanding of the self.

Join me on this musical journey. Together, we can explore the teachings of the Lotus Sutra, finding solace, hope, and a deeper connection to the world around us.
