Lyrics:

Where do I go from here?
Where do I go where the sky is clear?
Where do I go when this life it opens?
Where do I go when my heart has spoken?

I would hear the song that the angel sings
I would hear the song that life it brings
I would hear the song of everything that's good for me
That's good for me 
That's good for me

Where do we go from here?
Where do we go right now?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go right now?

I know that I would open up my heart
Open up my heart right now to you
I know that I would open up my heart
And trust that every good thing will come true
And trust that every good thing will come true

And trust that every good thing
And trust the song that's here to sing
And trust that every good thing will be true

Every Good Thing

Here I Am 
Intuitive Song for Sandi
from Online Honoring Ceremony, May 29, 2021
Words & Music by Michael Stillwater

Lyrics:
 
I’ve been waiting my whole life
To come here now
I’ve been waiting my whole life
To wake up and see 
That I am here to be who I am
All of me, who I am
My heart can see who I am
I'm here and I’m ready to breathe a breath of life
As it would breathe through me who I am
Everything is opening now
A new world is showing itself
And I’m ready, ready to find
The one that was hiding for such a long time
 
Here I am, ready to be 
All that I came for, I came to be
Here I am ready to see
That love is what’s been living in every part of me
Here I am nothing to hide anymore
Opening to see what’s behind the door of my heart
Looking into every part
I know that now is the right time to start to be
Start to be who I am
I’m ready, yes the world is ready for me
So I’m coming clear here I am
And nothing's in the way for me
Here I am
 
Nothing's in the way here I am
Nothing's in the way here I am
Here I am, here I am

Here I Am

Lyrics:

Now is the time for me to see
That all of the parts, the parts of me
Are here to be received
Are here to be accepted
Are here for me right now
To let it all be, to let it all be
Exactly as it is inside
Exactly as it is inside

O I've come a long way and now I find
That here so deep inside my mind I'm free
As I let myself be, 
As I surrender to the one I really I am
I remember and I truly understand

That everything has brought me here to be
The one that I've been waiting so long to see
Yes everything has brought me here to be
The one that I've been waiting for

I'm the one that I've been waiting for
I'm the one that I've been waiting for

The One I've Been Waiting For

Lyrics:

I Let The Healing In- Michaela


I let the healing in every part of me
I let the healing into me
I let the healing in every part of me
Now I let the healing into me (repeat)

And I know that I’m really fine at the center of my soul
I know that this life is mine even when I’m not in control

I let now the healing in to every part of me
I let the healing into me

And in this moment I return
To the best inside of me
In this moment I return 
And I come into the place where I am free

I let the healing in to every part of me
I let the healing in and I am feeling free
I let the healing in to every part of me
I let the healing in and now I’m feeling free

And when I stop the turning of my mind
And come back to the place that feels so fine
Where everything is like an angel singing true
Deep inside my soul I feel the light and I can feel it now

I let the healing in to every part of me
I let the healing in and I am feeling free
I let the healing in to every part of me
I let the healing in and now I’m feeling free  (repeat)

I Let The Healing In

Lyrics:

There is a peace so deep in me
Beyond the games that used to be
There is a peace so deep in me
Beyond the games I used to play
So frequently
But now the drama doesn’t seem
So interesting to me 
I am loving this peace, I’m loving this peace
The drama’s not interesting anymore for me
I’m loving this peace I’m feeling deep inside of me
I’m loving this peace deep inside
I’m loving this peace, my O my
I’m loving this peace so deep inside
I’m loving this peace here I cannot hide from who I am
I cannot hide from who I truly am
I cannot hide from who I truly am
I’m loving this peace, I’m loving this peace  (repeat)
I feel deep in me, I’m feeling it now in me

Lyrics:

O it’s a long, long time that the river runs
Yes, it’s a long, long time since the sun first begun
O it’s a long, long time since you knew me
And I knew you were mine and 
All that remains is our love

All that remains when the sun goes down
All that remains when the day is done
All that remains when only it’s moonlight that shines
All that remains is love, is love, O is love, is love

All that remains when the work is done
All that remains when the sun goes down
All that remains when only moonlight shines
It’s the love that we found, it’s the love that we found
It's the love that we found, it's the love that we found.

All that remains when the sun goes down
All that remains when the work is done
All that remains when only moonlight shines
All that remains is love, all that remains is love
All that remains is love, all that remains is love
All that remains is love

All That Remains

Lyrics:

There's a river in me always flowing
Flowing to you, always growing
Like a stream down to the sea
Life is living through me
And it's finding its way, this I know

And this river of life it's always showing me the way
This river of life it always shows me where
Where the energy leads me, where the energy needs me
Needs me to be, where it all is leading me
Where it all is leading me
Don't have to know
Just have to let go and let the river carry me
Just need to let go and let the river carry me

And as it carries me I know that I am on my way
Into the place where I feel the grace of my soul
As it carries me I know I'm on my way
Into the heart of the sea, into the heart of me
Into the heart of the sea, into the heart of me
Right now, into the heart of me right now
Into the heart of me right now

And when this treasure inside needs to flow
Where it's going I do not need to know
I'm just trusting more and more every day
I'm just trusting more and more that I know the way
I know the way for me

I know the way for me
Yes, I know the way, I know the way  (repeat)

And the river keeps flowing on
It's living at the heart of my song
The river keeps flowing, bringing me along

I Know The Way

Lyrics:

There comes a time when nothing else will do
Than simply letting in the love, the love for you

Simply letting in, simply letting in
Simply letting in the love for you (repeat)

And as you let this love pour in to every part of you
The past it falls away and only this moment shines through

Let the love pour into you
Let it find its way to your heart
Let this love pour into you
This moment is the time to start

Let this love pour into you
Let it flow into your heart
Let this love pour into you
And now is the moment to start
Just letting it in, letting it in
Letting it in, letting it in

You know so well how to let your love
Flow out upon this world
Now's the time to let it 
Come on back to you, come on back to you
Come on back to you, come on back to you

Let it come back to you, let it come back to you
Let it come back to you right now
O come back to you, come back to you
Come back to you right now (repeat)

Your love come back, come back to you
O let your love come back to you
O let your love, let it come back to you
Let your love come back to you

Let Your Love Come Back

Lyrics:

I want to know, I want to know who I am
I want to know who I am
With no doubt and no questions
I just want to know who I am
Really and truly, deep in my soul
Really and truly, yes I want to know
Really and truly, deep in my soul

I was looking for O so long
But now I can hear it just like a song
Inside my heart I feel it call to me
It’s whispering the message that I need to hear
Reminding me

And as I know who I am my life is filled with light
As I know who I am I’m waking up from deep in the night
As I know who I am my life is filled with light
As I know who I am, I'm waking up from deep in the night
And now I can see the colors that were hiding before
Can see the colors I no longer ignore
All the colors of life they shine in me
‘Cause I know who I am

I know just who I am, I know it truly
I know just who I am, I know it here and now (repeat)

I know it here and now, here and now
And I knew it long ago, I’m just remembering
Coming back home, I’m remembering
And here I’m not alone.

Lyrics:

I’m leaving behind what I thought was true
Leaving behind the everyday, the everyday happenings
Opening up to the new life flowing through me

I’m feeling like it’s always been
This life that lives in me
Feeling like it’s always been
This lifestream that flows through me

There’s a radiance that’s shining now
Shining here in me
Opening up to the skies and the oceans
Opening up to all of me

It’s a radiance shining in me
An exuberance and here I’m free

I’m free as I feel it streaming
I’m free as I feel it now
I’m free as I feel myself dreaming myself
Awake again, I’m awake again
My own best friend, I’m awake again

And I’m free as I feel it
Streaming on down through me
I’m free as I reveal it
To every part of me

It’s a light that is shining
And it’s always been
It’s a light that’s reminding
From deep beneath my skin

It’s a light that is shining deep within
It’s a light that’s reminding me
That’s it’s always here and it never ends
Because it never begins
Always shining from deep within.

Lyrics:

The rain it falls on down
Falls so peacefully
And the water’s lapping on the shoreline O so free
And everything it has its place inside of you
And everything it finds a grace inside that’s true

And there’s a silence in your heart that knows the way
Always enough you are, always enough you are
Every night and day, every night and day, every night and day

Always enough, enough for you
You know in your heart it’s true
Always enough for you
Just as you are, just as you are
Always enough for you
You know deep in your heart it’s true
There is always enough for you
You know it’s true

When you let yourself return to the silence
When you let yourself return to the peace
And the rain it keeps on falling
And the song it keeps on calling
Deep in your soul, deep in your soul

There’s always enough wherever you are
There's always enough for you
Always enough wherever you are
You know that it’s shining through

Always enough for you whatever you’re feeling now, now
Always enough for you doesn’t matter how
It comes to be, just like the rain that’s falling down
You trust there’s enough here in the air and on the ground

Always you know there’s enough, there’s enough for you
To live your life in a way that’s the right way for you
To live your life in a way that’s the right way for you
Yes always enough to live your life in the right way for you.

Enough (The Right Way for You)

My day’s they’re passing by
My night’s are passing too
But I stand like a mountain
I’m standing in the clear, the clear blue sky of light
Upon my lifetime, I’m here, I’m shining with you
Let light shine on my lifetime
And see every day anew
Let every day be new  (repeat)
In my lifetime, in my lifetime
The light it shines in my lifetime
O the light it shines in my lifetime
Let every day be new.

You are in the heart of everything
You are in the heart of everything and those you love

And even when you do not feel connected
And even when you feel so all alone
Even when you feel misunderstood
Even when you’re searching for the good

You are in the heart of everything and all you love
You are in the heart of everything
You are in the heart of everything and those you love
You are in the heart of everything

And even when you feel alone you really are not
Life is holding you wherever you go
Even when you feel like you’re somehow far apart
Deep inside you always know

You are in the heart of everything and those you love
You are in the heart of everything
You are in the heart of everything and those you love
You are in the heart of everything (repeat)

The Heart Of Everything

Lyrics:

When there are no words between us
And the silent light just shines
When there are no words between us
I feel heart and you feel mine

When there are no words between us
And only the light it shines
When there are no words between us
I feel your heart and you feel mine  (repeat)

When there are no words between us
And only the light it shines
When there are no words between us
I feel your heart and you feel mine
O I feel your heart and you feel mine  (repeat)

When there are no words between us
And only the light it shines
When there are no words between us
I feel your heart and you feel mine (repeat)

I’m letting love into every part of me
I’m letting love into every part of me
Letting love now into every part
Letting love into my heart
Letting love into every part of me

Letting love now into every part
Letting love now into, into my heart
Letting love now into every part of me

I’m letting love now into every part
I’m letting love now into every part
I’m letting now into every part of me 

I’m letting love now into every part
I’m letting love now into my own heart
I’m letting now into every part of me  (repeat)

Letting Love Into Every Part

Ocean of Love

The water flows, always flowing
From here to there
No one’s knowing
Just where it takes us to
And so we come to peace
Deep in our hearts we make a place for release
To let go of what we knew before
Like entering a land we’ve never seen
Making a place inside for peace to abide
And we pass through our dreams
We pass through our dreams
Into a new light that holds us
A new light that’s born inside
There’s a new light, it’s shining within
And just like the waters changing
On the evening tide
We’re moving into this ocean of love
Just like the water changing on the evening tide
We’re moving into the ocean
We’re moving into the ocean of love

I feel you as you’re swimming
As you’re swimming O so free
And my love is ever with you
‘Cause I love you O so deeply
We’re all moving on the evening tide
We don’t know the time when we will move on 
But we can trust that, that love will guide us
Into the ocean of love, into the ocean of love 
To the ocean of love, O we are guided
We are guided to an ocean of love

A Treasure Inside Me (Lyrics)

I've always found a way
I've always found my way
To walk in this world, to give what I came to give

There are diamonds inside my heart
There are diamonds inside me
I know there's a precious treasure within
And I'm asking how to share this treasure from within
I'm asking how to share the gifts I have and where to begin

I've got a treasure inside me, here to share with the world
I've got a treasure inside me to share with the world
A treasure inside me to share with all the world
A treasure inside me to share with you, to share with you

(chorus)

And it's life's own pleasure to share me
It's life's own pleasure to share me here and there
There's always places, there's always faces to receive
There's always time and there's always spaces to receive

(chorus)

And I'm trusting, I'm trusting ife
I'm trusting every day and night
Yes I'm trusting life will find a way for me
I'm trusting I will find a way to be

(chorus)

We Are The Song

This song, 'I Let You See Me', (composed and recorded in the same moment)is from an Honoring Ceremony, held within the Song Sanctuary seminar in Bielefeld, Germany, October 19, 2019, hosted by Christina Guertler following the first SongLife Training at Wilde Rose seminarhaus in Melle.

A part of the training is for musicians and aspiring musicians to discover their own intuitive songmaking gifts- how to create song for others which may serve their life journey, as well as traditional songwriting skills, guitar artistry, and songleading practice.

This song was the first one created in the ceremony, for a participant in response to her readiness to step even further into life and be seen. As you will hear, this created a strong ripple of response from the group, who added their singing voices into the song.

Lyrics:

I Let You See Me

I’m here right now
Nothing in the way, nothing in my way
I’m here right now
Nothing’s in my way, nothing’s in my way

I’m here right now and I show myself to you
I’m here right now, the light it streams on through
There’s nothing in the way of who I truly am
I know I’m on the way, and I truly understand
That everything that happened before
It led me right to now as I walk right through my door
And I show you my heart, I show you my soul
Show you my heart, show you my soul  (repeat)
I show you my heart and I know I’m whole
I know I’m whole, yes I know I’m whole
O I know I’m whole
I show you my heart, I show you my soul  (repeat)

I am here, all of me
I am here I let you now see
Yes I am here, all of me
O I am here, I let you see me
Yes I am here, I let you see me
I am here, I let you see me
I am here, I let you see me
O I am here, I let you see me
All of me, all of me, I let you see me
All of me, all of me, all of me, I let you see me
All of me, all of me, I let you see me
All of me, all of me, I let you see me
I let you see me, I let you see me, I let you see me
All of me, all of me, I let you see me
All of me, all of me, I let you see me
All of me, all of me, I let you see me.
