Hello all. I would like to share this. I wrote this in 2012 after reading the most saddening news about a young beautiful highschool girl who after enduring extensive bullying by her classmates, chose to fall back on to an on coming train right in front of them at her train station.

The tragic and sensless event brought such sadness and despair to me and has never left me.

Today, this song is one of my 18 original songs included in my some day to be performed musical, Hypnotta. www.hypnotta.com

thanks for listening. comments welcome,
and I have to thank my dear friend Shaune Anne Feuz for the amazing vocals!

The Knowing

young ones  ,what is your purpose ,why are you here?
living , wasn’t made easy wasn't made clear
listen , not from the outside, listen from here
its coming , the game to an end now ,nothing to fear

keep your-self growing  with love  ever flowing  
forgiveness will set yourself free... its all you have to do    
its much simpler than they told you.

remember, keep all together and work it all out
laughter, will lighten your days so laugh it all out
quiet, theres a time to be silent so sit and be still
playing, run fast with the wind till you had your fill

when sadness brings crying , theres no sense denying 
let crying empty your tears … its all you have to do
its  just a door that you must pass thru  

Im sorry,  this is all i can tell you to show you the way
Im going,  cant stay any longer leaving today
the knowing , is hidden within you deep in your heart
and time ? you have plenty of time
to play out your part

so just keep on going ,with love ever flowing
the secret lies deep within you  
you know this to be true
so let this carry you
