i wrote this song as an offering to the little girl i once was.
the one who learned to survive long before she learned how to trust herself,
who almost forgot that she was allowed to dream.
not long after i wrote this song, this collaborative chapter of my life came apart.
looking back, i realize this song was already leading me toward greater healing.
sometimes we write to become someone else,
and sometimes we write to remember who we’ve always been.
where did all the starlight go torn past, an ending unknown forced to fight those demons alone fueled by fear, in the dark, on her own there’ll always be sunshine always be rain there’ll always be laughter always be pain where did that lonesome girl hide the day when a part of her died just a babe, her voice stolen by lies she slipped into sleep deep inside there’ll always be sunshine always be rain there’ll always be laughter always be pain where to turn when things aren’t right an upside world, both darkness and light trace the path that leads to new sight there’s a hope found in the fight there’ll always be sunshine always be rain there’ll always be laughter always be pain now the world spins softly instead free from the poison she’d been fed like waking from a bad dream nothing’s ever really as it seems there’ll always be sunshine always be rain there’ll always be laughter always be pain
what offerings do you share with your own precious inner child now?
i am a writer, speaker, and musician devoted to healing and embodiment. i share essays, poetry, and original music through venus consciousness. i’d love to walk this path with you.
i hope others can now leave a comment here if they wish to. someone mentioned that they couldn’t!
