about

Inspired by a haiku written by the fabulous Jenny Bienemann (see her music here on Bandcamp!).

Off, not for always
Down but not forever
Just for this moment

I wrote this song during the pandemic for a friend dealing with cancer, as well as for some people close to me who were having a difficult time with the emotional stress of the lock down and isolation.
There is such power in friendship and support!

lyrics

Trust Fall – ©2020 Asharta Music

I’ve turned off, but not for always
So down, but not forever
Just in this moment, bear with me, be with me
Hold space with me, I need you now

Just fall back into loving arms
We’ll keep you close
And lift you up to carry on

Nights so dark, nights so cold
Shadow creeping over my soul
Soft light shining, dawn is breaking
And there you are knocking at my door

Just fall back into loving arms
We’ll keep you close
And lift you up to carry on

Friends, you’re a miracle
You take my hand when I get lost
Your presence is a gift to me
A sweet embrace, your love enfolds me

I’ve turned off, but not for always
So down, but not forever
Just in this moment, bear with me, be with me
Hold space with me, I need you now

Just fall back into loving arms
We’ll keep you close
And lift you up to carry on
We’ll lift you up, to carry on
