Nicola Sleeping Heart Awake V2

Sleeping Heart Awake (Mastered version by Dai Simpson)

Lyrics:
Trying not to trip upon my insecurities..
Refraining from a conditioned place where I used to 'people please'
In you I saw a woman in me I hid from society
To think I had forgotten that it's safe to just be me
You've lit a spark, sunshine in the dark
Shining so bright, lighting up the night

To fall from grace there I land gently on my feet
Where there's no judgement, shame or fear
Your gorgeous energy 
Peeling off the layers from my soul so we can breathe
The water that we carry, long journey to the sea
You've lit a spark, sunshine in the dark
Shining so bright, lighting up the night

I don't need you to save me
Because you understand me
I don't need you to praise me
Just please don't leave me
I want you in my life in whatever way or form

Peeling off the layers from my soul so we can breathe
The water that we carry, long journey to the sea
Spill over me let your heart be free x 5

Heart  Be Free

Lyrics:
There was a halo around her head but now it's too exposed
When she's ignoring who she knows
The chemical feeds what does not belong to me
You'll take what you need, abrasion of reality
Tangled up like a puppet on a string
Please remember an angel should never lose her wings

The snow falls so slowly on the floor
But when it stops the angel starts to thaw
mmm mmm mmm mmm

Floating fast like a dark cloud in the sky
Wait for the rain for when you get too high
Thunder shakes your body and your mind
Lightening strikes another chance to shine
I miss you, I miss you
I know what you've been going through
Your trapped under your own skin
Under the surface I know what lies within

There is a halo around her head and now it's time to go
The halo is now yours to grow

Full version with trumpet solo available on most streaming platforms including spotify, Deezer, Apple, Amazon, Shazam and Boomplay. Vinyl albums available really soon. All links in my bio.

Halo Raw version without the epic long trumpet solo from the album "Thankful"

Lyrics/chorus

"I've been a pebble in your shoe still you can run quite fast
I felt so low I didn't know what to do so I'll keep following my heart"

It's about being strung along by "straight" women when you are actually a gay woman. Not fun. But guess what. This song is a fun song. I turn my pain into positivity. that is what music does. It transcends pain into feeling understood. We should express our emotions in healthy ways and learn to grow and evolve through the transformation. Music is to share with the world. We are all ONE!
