Lyrics

In this moment, in this moment. 
Passion for life, passion for life in our souls, in our hearts, in our dreams. 
Hopes and dreams for now and tomorrow. 
Hopes and dreams in joy and sorrows. 
You can dream in the glory of today and tomorrow. 

This day is a garden I can make bloom by sowing love. 
This sky is a canvas for my imagining.
This moment’s a wave I can surf.
This community has hidden adventures.
These people have incredible stories deep inside.

The magnificence of an ordinary day, can be revealed with the right questions.
What are my blessings, where can I go out today?
How can I delight someone? 
What can I create?

Water and greens energizes with walking outside.
Writing my thoughts out validates my mind.
Showing up for people in my life and sharing my gifts.
Staring my fears down makes them smaller than I thought.

The magnificence of an ordinary day, can be revealed with the right questions.
What are my blessings, where can I go out today?
How can I delight someone? 
What can I create?

In this moment, in this moment. 
Passion for life, passion for life in our souls, in our hearts, in our dreams. 
Hopes and dreams for now and tomorrow. 
Hopes and dreams in joy and sorrow. 
You can dream in the glory of today and tomorrow.

Magnificence of an Ordinary Day - Original Demo (Based on Happiness Research)

An interpretation of Mt 16:24-25 [ESV] with God as Love and Life as Dreams
Something I pondered with my transition to motherhood as a music artist. Dedicated to caregivers and people going through big life transitions.

[Chorus]
Am       F               C                 G
If anyone would come after Love, 
Am             F                                       C                              G
they must forget themselves and run through their pain.
Am                              F                          C           G
Whoever loses their dreams for the sake of Love,
       Am           F                        C         G
will find new dreams on the other side. (x2)


Am                  F                           C                G
Death of one chapter leads to rebirth in another
Am               F  C                                          G
by embracing Love 'cause God made it so.
Am                  F             C                
Holding on tightly to dreams that break,
G
just shatters hearts
Am                        F          C                     G
but resurrection exists, resurrection exists. (x2)

[Chorus]

For the Sake of Love - Demo, Original

Cool morning with the wind in the trees
Grey light in my eyes and falling leaves
Changing seasons like seasons in my life
Who will I meet today, where shall I walk? 
To meet the pleasure of nature, the joy of friendly talk?

Copper beneath my feet, gold flakes descending around me
Whistling birds and freshness in the breeze
The peace of melting thoughts, the joy of a heart that is set free
To know that hope is more within, no matter what's outside.

People I meet along the way, have stories to share about their day
and insights about life that I want to know
Each day there's something new to learn and places to explore
and things to create to share with my friends

Copper beneath my feet, gold flakes descending around me
Whistling birds and freshness in the breeze
The peace of melting thoughts, the joy of a heart that is set free
To know that hope is more within, no matter what's outside

Lyrics and melody by Rachael Dillman

Forest Bathing - Demo, Original

Power and prestige don't speak to my heart 
as a thing to be chased.
There's been so much damage done
putting these in the highest place.

Power doesn't make you happy as you think
it can mess up connecting.
Humility can actually uncover things we didn't see
before reflecting.

Can we be peace in the eye of the storm,
making waves of hopeful change?
Can we be hope in the eye of the storm,
and help alleviate eachother's pain?

Treating people with equal dignity
makes life fuller and more profound.
Because it opens our eyes to things 
we were blind to and frienships we would not have found.

Peace In The Eye Of The Storm - Demo, Original

Fauna in nature and wind in the trees,
sparkling river and falling leaves,
celebrate preserving waterways!
What will we see today, where shall we walk?
To meet the pleasure of nature, the joy of friendly talk?

Walk by the river, see the bright nature,
migrating birds and freshness in the breeze.
Fish swim upstream to spawn, we’re enjoying the Fall!
Along the riverbank, we’ve got all you to thank!

People I meet along the way, have stories to share about their day,
and insights about life I want to know.
While we’re here there's something new to learn and places to explore,
and things to create to share with our friends!
