Lyrics, music, and photo by Linda Straub

I barely ever saw him,
yet he was always in my life.
He spoke to me words of comfort 
a man so gentle and so wise. 

No more a man of flesh and sinew,
set free from life's human form, 
his voice speaks loudly to me,
live, let go, no longer mourn or conform. 

Rise up, look around, be profound.
Chase down your dreams
and don't stop until you astound.


Step out of your own shadow
and you will find me waiting there
in every beam of sunlight, 
in every breath of air. 

Open up your mind to the possible, 
be not afraid to do and dare.
Step out of your own shadow
and you will find me waiting there. 

Rise up, look around, be profound.
Chase down your dreams 
and don't stop until you astound. 

Chase down your dreams 
and don't stop until you astound.


Waiting There (Original) by-


I am drawn to folk, blues, soft rock, and country music, new and old. I love songs that tell a story, especially the Irish, English, and Scottish ballads of long ago because their stories are often timeless, and most everyone at any time can relate to. 
 
I also am a pastel painter and find being able to express universal emotions through my art, as well as writing lyrics and putting them to music that I can sing and play on my guitar or ukelele so rewarding and comforting.

Memories of people, places, and events throughout my life influence the songs I write.
