It's Time

EFFORTLESS
©Julie Rust/SESAC

In a magic moment
I watched a miracle
It took me by surprise one winter day
At the bus stop waiting
The day was cold and gray
Then one by one the snowflakes fell

And the world changed
From gray to white
And the world changed
From bleak to bright
It was effortless
Effortless

Watching silent snowfall
I felt a sense of peace
Everything slowed down and I could breathe

Beautiful and simple
Original designs
Frozen water from the great Divine

And the world changed
From gray to white
And the world changed
From bleak to bright
It was effortless
Effortless

It was easy
So easy
It was easy
So easy
And people are all the same
Inspired by the same design
The great Divine
Created by the same design
The great Divine
Effortless
Effortless

One by one the people changed the world

Effortless

I AM FREE (from the CD, "Effortless")
©Julie Rust/SESAC

I used to ride my tricycle
Up and down, up and down the sidewalk
Back it up, check the tires, fill it up, ring the bell
I was free
I was free

I’m looking at an open door
Gonna run, gonna run right through it
Take the brakes off my life
Fill it up, ring the bell
I am free
I am free

I choose my life to be alive

I live my life in moments now
Look around, look around for beauty
Take it in, check it out, fill it up, ring the bell
I am free
I am free

I Am Free (feat. Victor Wooten)

THIS IS HOW LOVE FEELS (from the CD, "Effortless")
©Julie Rust/SESAC

It feels like a rush
Like caffeine and sugar
It feels like when I was young
I don’t know if I’ve got the guts to believe it
Greet it or turn away and run

So this is how love feels
Floating and flying and totally real
This is how love feels

So much time’s gone by
I’ve built a resistance
So tough, it almost repels
But now there’s a crack
And if you persisted
You might help me break away this shell

And this is how love feels
Explosive, impulsive, erodes hearts of steel
This is how love feels

I’m light-headed and laughing
Loving relearning desire
Learning to let go
I’m living a life that’s inspired

I think this is where I say yes
I’m ready to give it my all
This could be easy
This could be rough
I’m taking my chances I’m breaking the wall
CHORUS
This is how love feels
Uplifting, enlightening and totally real
This is how love feels
This is how I feel

This Is How Love Feels

YOUR EYES (from the CD, "Effortless")
Julie Rust/SESAC

I can never be lost
I can never be tossed aside
I can never be cross
When I look, when I look
Into your eyes

I will never be sad
I will never be bad
I will never be mad
When I look, when I look
Into your eyes

Oh, oh your eyes
Deep love resides
Oh, oh your eyes
I love your eyes

I don't think about fate
I don't think about state-of-mind
I don't think about hate
When I look, when I look
Into your eyes

Oh, oh your eyes
Deep love resides
Oh, oh your eyes
I love your eyes
Oh, oh your eyes
Deep love resides
Oh, oh your eyes
I love your eyes
I love
I love
I feel love
When I look
Into your eyes

Your Eyes

I placed my hands on the piano and this song played in its entirety. I felt tears roll down my face as I recognized it and thanked God for letting me hear this song from the other side.

HOW CAN LOVE BE DISTANT?
©Julie Rust/Baba’s Music-SESAC

Why do raindrops fall up 
Against the window
When I drive?
And how are clouds suspended
While the wind blows
In the sky?

How can love be distant
From a mother to a child?
Why is it more painful
When the hurt comes from inside?

I don’t know how hurricanes
Can be so violent
As they pass by.
Yet if you’re in the middle
There is silence
In the eye.

How can love be distant 
From a mother to a child?
How can pain be silent
When a heart screams inside?

Why do leaves change color
Right before they die?
Trees show off their beauty
Like a lie

How can love be distant
When you take away the lies?
Keeping nothing hidden
Only love remains inside

I’m glad that there are rainbows
After rainfall

Paint The Sky Green
