A SONG FOR SOFIA!

Sow a seed and make it strong 
Tread the path that pulls you on
In the valley of the night
Shut your eyes from darkness 
Cover your ears from whispers 

See the star that leads you on
Through the wastelands into dawn
Embrace the sunrise with your arms
Wade through troubled waters
Protect all sons and daughters

Take your soul and make it grow
Plant the seeds in undergrowth
Build a fortress made of stone
Protect you from the tempest
And resurrect your embers

Cleanse your body in the stream
Purge your dreams from their beliefs
Seize the moments as you breath
Resisting their temptations
Granting your Redemption 

Take your soul and make it grow
Reap the crop that you have sowed
Feel the river water flow
Deliver you To comfort
From the thunder above us


Take your soul and let it grow
Bless the sinners who don’t know 
Take your soul and let it grow 
Deliver you from darkness 

Take your soul and let it grow
Walk with caution on this road
Take your soul and let it grow
Don’t believe the doubters

Take your soul aNd make it grow 
You are stronger on your own
Take your soul and make it grow
There is love around us

Take your soul and make it grow
Don’t be shamed for what you show
Take your soul and make it grow
You are stronger than you know

A song for Sofia

The majority of these tracks are demo songs, recorded on mobile devices  whenever and wherever I could, some good, some absolutely dreadful.

Fully aware that many are shit.
