Lyrics:

Welcoming the parts of me that felt so far away
To come home in my heart right now
And here let you stay

And come on home inside me
It's where I know you belong
Come on home inside me
'Cause this is your true home
This is your true home

Come on now inside my heart
I trust that you will find
A welcome for you always, yes
You're welcome anytime
Yes, you're welcome anytime

You may have been a distance
You may have been far away
But that doesn't matter now because
I'm calling you to stay
Yes, I'm calling you to stay

You're welcome right where I live
Right where I am
You're welcome here to feel at home upon this land

The land of my soul, the land of my soul
The land of my soul, the land of my soul
Come home, come home, come home to me
Come home, come home, that's where you need to be

Come home to me, come home, 
That's where I would have you be
Come home, yes, it's where you belong
Come home, it's where we all are strong together
Come home to me and see that I am open my heart to you
You're part of me and I can see that I'm a part of you

Yes we're together all the time
Yes we're together, what's yours is mine
We're together, not apart anymore
We're together, together we open all the doors
Together now we open all the doors.

Come Home To Me

Lyrics:

It's a miracle that we're here
It's a miracle have no fear
There's a greater good in store for you and I
There's a greater good beyond this earth and sky

But it's right here now, it's right here now
It's right here now, it's right here now

No matter what is happening 
There's something going on
No matter what is happening 
Inside us there's a song
No matter what is happening 
In truth we all belong

And a greater good is here for you and I
Yes a greater good is shining from the sky
A greater good in you right now
A greater good in you coming through somehow

And we do not have to know 
The way it's gonna take for us
No we do not have to know 
The way things gonna shake for us
No we do not have to know
The reason for it now

Just need to let go and be grateful for this day
To let go and be grateful all the way
To let go and be grateful 
For the way the sky it opens to our eyes
Let us realize that the time has come
To remember true, yes we are one, me and you

And a greater good is here and happening all the time
Yes a greater good is here, it's yours and it is mine
Yes a greater good is here and happening all the time

And we are grateful for all, all that comes our way
We're grateful for all that shows us where to play
We're grateful for all that lives inside of you and me
Yes we're grateful for the light that lets us see
The light that lets us see.

A Greater Good

Just As I Am
Intuitive song for Steph

Lyrics:

Nowhere to go, nothing to prove
Got everything I need and I'm in my groove
Got nowhere to go, I'm fine as I am
Everything I need, I understand it's true
It's shining from me to you

Nowhere to go, everything's fine
When I feel the love inside me
I know I'm, I'm already home
Just as I am, as I am I'm here
I'm home inside of me

Just as I am, I am free
Just as I am I feel
Beautiful to be 
Just as I am being me

Just as I am I'm good
Nothing else that I need
O nothing that I could do do I need to do
'Cause it's all here inside of me

I'm feeling fine the way I am
I'm feeling fine the way I feel
I'm good the way I am
And this goodness I know is real

Nothing else that I need to do
To prove that I am well
I am fine just being me
And I think, I think that you can tell
I'm fine as I am, I'm fine just to be

Just As I Am

Every Good Thing
Intuitive Song for Anna Maria
from Online Honoring Ceremony, March 27, 2021

www.innerharmony.com

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

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

There Is A Peace

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:

Hold on my little angel, hold on
Hold on my little angel
Spread your wings
Don't be afraid to fall

Hold on my little angel
Spread your wings
And don't you be afraid to fall

There's no falling out of this universe
You are held by the love of God
There's no falling out of this universe
You are held, you are held
You are held

There's no falling out of this universe
You are held by the love of God
There's no falling out of this universe
You are held by the love of God

Hold on my little angel
Spread your wings, don't be afraid to fall
Hold on my little angel
Spread you wings, don't be afraid to fall

There's no falling out of this universe
There's no falling out of love
There's no falling out of this universe
Don't be afraid you're gonna fall
Don't be afraid to fall
Don't be afraid to fall

Don't Be Afraid To Fall

Lyrics:

Everything is flowing, everything in me
I’m letting the lightness flow on through
In everything I do 
I’m letting the lightness be
I’m letting the lightness be
I’m letting the lightness be in me

Something new is born in me
I can feel it now
Something new is born in me
I can feel it
Something new is born in me
I am letting it flow on through me
Something new is born in me this day

I’m letting it flow through me
Nothing else I need to do
Letting it flow through me
Nothing else I need to do (repeat)

This day is born anew in me
This day is born anew I’m just letting it be
This day is born anew right now in me

Letting it Flow Through Me

Michael Stillwater is an innovator with music, words, and images.
An award-winning songwriter, recording artist and filmmaker, he provides
artistic and transformative reflection upon core societal issues, catalyzing
creative expression in people of all ages.

musical artist / songwriter / filmmaker / intuitive musician / educator / producer


MUSICAL ARTIST/SONGWRITER: Stillwater’s interfaith chants and healing songs are enjoyed in singing circles, gatherings, churches and communities worldwide, with multiple recordings by other artists as well as himself. An interfaith minister through the Chaplaincy Institute, he ministered through Heavensong, a
non-denominational church based in California and Hawaii, from 1978 through 1990.

FILMMAKER: Through Song Without Borders, the nonprofit creative arts agency he co-founded, Stillwater produced films and other programs applying song to personal and societal transformation. He created his first film, Shining Night: A Portrait of Composer Morten Lauridsen (2012) together with his wife, Doris Laesser Stillwater. Acclaimed ‘a heartening rarity’ by the Wall Street Journal, the film received four Best Documentary awards at US film festivals and enthusiastic response from a global audience, including Europe and South Africa. The movie tells the story of the life and music of National Medal of Arts
recipient Morten Lauridsen, recognized as the most performed choral composer of recent times.

The Stillwater’s second film, In Search of the Great Song: Fifty voices. Twelve countries. One question. (2016), received two Best Documentary awards, including at its US Premiere, Moondance Int’l Film Festival in Boulder, CO. Providing an existential and metaphorical context, the film serves as a conversation starter for exploring our inherent creativity and essential spiritual unity. With interviews recorded worldwide, including at the 2009 Parliament of the World’s Religions in Melbourne, the film was screened at the Parliaments in both Salt Lake City (2015) and Toronto (2018).

Their third film, Beyond the Fear of Singing: Unlock Your Voice, Release Your Song (2019), winner of three film festival awards, focuses on the inhibition so many feel about their singing voice, together with healing pathways for overcoming limitations and the rewarding discovery of expressing one’s voice.

INTUITIVE MUSICIAN/EDUCATOR: Stillwater’s unique intuitive recording artistry provides a way for people to feel seen and supported at an essential level. His intuitive songportraits demonstrate empathic connection, while Song Sanctuary seminars and retreats combine a variety of interactive elements in a
one-day, two-day, or longer program. SongLife Training serminars, both local and online, provide anyone with a forum for unlocking their musical aspirations individually and with others.

PRODUCER/AUTHOR: With Emmy-award winning film composer Gary Malkin and Swiss contemplative psychotherapist Doris Laesser Stillwater, he co-authored Graceful Passages: A Companion for Living and Dying (over one million readers/ listeners) and Care for the Journey: Messages and Music for Sustaining the
Heart of Healthcare, created for reducing stress in healthcare and palliative care practitioners. 

Since 2020 he has published a monthly column in Meer, an international online magazine. Together with his wife Doris he leads Song Sanctuary Retreats in Europe and America, providing support through contemplative, creative and personal growth practice. A resident of Europe since 2005, he now lives in the Alps of Switzerland, travelling frequently, offering online and local musical events and creative educational programs.
