Many original songs relate to concepts of spirituality or healing. You can hear these and similar songs at any of Nancy’s live shows…
Sold
Chorus: When you sell your soul, how do you buy it back again?
I sold my soul to him, for next to nothing.
Ah ah ah ah ah ……..
I sold my soul to him ,for next to nothing.
Verse 1: Now i gaze out a window and look back in,
sitting soul-less next to him
With the horror of emptiness,
self deceit
all for the sake of my conceit.
Repeat Chorus
Verse 2: My mother showed me, how to be,
a lifeless figure, and now that was me.
with the horror of emptiness, everywhere
I’ve got to own this despair.
Refrain: All I really know,
is the truth has set me free
and my soul’s
come back to me
come back to me
come back to me.
Kekau
(spoken Intro: Kekau is an Indonesian word meaning: the phenomenon of awaking from a nightmare, and feeling relief that you were only dreaming and you are actually ok)
Kekau means
Awake from a dream
that’s all going wrong
Can’t recall it
though it was strong
Getting dimmer,
Suddenly gone.
Indonesians say,
this way
bad luck ends
what a relief
only a dream
start again
Start again……….
Happy’s Back
Out of style, is happy out of style?
They’re calling it denial, this doesn’t make me smile
Back in style, Happy’s back in style
It isn’t a denial, sure to make you smile
I can see, we are free
To be happy as we wanna be
(skat)
People say it’s worse now today then it’s ever been, ever been before
But it’s not, if you look, back in time, in a book
They’ve been harder times than now
made it somehow
gonna do the same
get back in the game
From PTSD
set each other free
When we live in
Solidarity
Back in style,
Happy’s back in style
it isn’t a denial
it’s sure to make you smile
Climate change
but the love remains
Happily evolving brains.
We live in a town called joy,
cause sustainably we do employ.
Back in Style, happy’s back in style….Happy’s Back!
Trigger on the Memory
Intro: When I pull the trigger,
kill that memory dead.
Then I’ll make some space,
out of my own head.
Almost pulled the trigger,
on me but instead,
Righting my own story
about this life I’ve led.
Verse 1: Its a story, not a memory, with an ending, that I choose.
And the road i took to get there,
shows me how the triggers that lead to the blues,
I’m gonna loose, cause I can’t use, all this triggered bad news.
Bridge: And I say, ya ya ya, I’m gonna make it,
and I say, all my soul’s making it right
And any circumstance, my soul can take it,
because the circumstance, is just right.
Verse 2: Take the trigger, off the memory.
Then it won’t be killing me.
And I’ll make a better story,
then a worn out memory, could ever be…….
Trigger off me,
now the story,
is who I want to be
(Repeat Bridge above)
Bumble Bee
All the reasons why not, are the, reasons why,
all the reasons they say, don’t bother to try.
Like the bumble bee, that does not know she cannot fly,
that’s why, she’s wise, when she flies, when she flies, when she flies…..
Young, old, dumb, smart, fat too thin.
Don’t have the time why bother to begin.
No one’s ever done it, or they already have.
You’ll look ridiculous, it will never last.
All the reasons why not, are lies.
All the wiser I am, when i realize.
Like the bumble bee who does not know she cannot fly,
that’s why, she’s wise, when she flies, when she flies, when she flies…..
Hi, low, up down, leave it be.
Not gonna cling to some, stale old reality.
I’m gonna fly then, whys be damned,
And then I’ll find out,
How wise I am
All the reasons why not, are lies.
All the wiser I am, when i realize.
Like the bumble bee who does not know she cannot fly,
that’s why, she’s wise, when she flies, when she flies, when she flies…..
Err On the Side of It Matters
Chorus:
I'll err on the side of it matters,
Just because it does.
To err that it doesn't
is turning away from love.
Bridge 1:
Away from children and laughter,
reasons we're alive.
To err that it doesn't,
robs light from Christmas eyes.
Chorus:
I'll err on the side of it matters,
Just because it does.
To err that it doesn't
is turning away from love.
Bridge 2:
Away from all I've been given
All I plan to try,
to err that it doesn't
is laying down to die.
Chorus:
I'll err on the side of it matters,
Just because it does.
To err that it doesn't
is turning away from love.
Starry
Intro:
Everything must be as if I see, for the first time
Everything must be as if is see, for the first time
Everything must be as if I see, for the first time.
Without you.....
On the ceiling, stars appear
Like when I first came here
A Vincent starry sky,
Centuries later would never die.
So much pain would come to be:
I guess it was worth it
cause Vincent was free.
Where are you, unknown, unsung?
So many visions left undone.
Perhaps I'll find you if I don't let fear,
Cloud away all the clear.
I wish you'd hear me all the time,
Not just when I force out, words that rhyme.
Perhaps I'll find you, if I don't let fear,
Cloud away all the clear.
Traveling Around in Time
Traveling around in time, endless time
In confidence of one single mind,
It's everything I feel
It's not a wrinkle on the skin
Only a thought within.
It's only a belief
that sets up what I see
and what I'm going to see again.
Traveling around in time,
that cabin, one summertime.
there I settle in,
it's everything I feel.
The numbers of the days,
terrors of the mind
Can't hold a candle to,
the things I love to do,
traveling around in time.
Where should I go,
Only my heart knows.
Give my feet a brand new beat,
Listen to her say,
You forgot to hear me today
Be Wrong Do Right
If you want be right,
say everything is wrong
You hear it on the news everyday
your facts are strong
but if you wanna do......right, that's not the way to get along.
If you wanna do right
It doesn't matter how it IS
It doesn't matter what happened yesterday
All that matters is this:
If you wanna do .....right you gotta be an optimist.
See a better picture,
then it's gonna be.
See something prettier,
than on the TV,
then you make a new reality.
Focus on the beauty,
done with hate,
Find the love
Any kind of state
Help somebody
Participate.
What I'm saying, is it helping your day?
What I'm playing, is it helping some way?
I'm so certain, now I'm sure,
What I know is,
Love is the word.
If you wanna do right
it doesn't matter how it is
it doesn't matter what happened yesterday
all that matters is this
if you want do......right
you gotta be an optimist
Feel Good Intention
Feeling good - intention
Intervention
Having fun,
intention
intervention
Up - down again
giving in
feel good now,
I'll start
Light body, light heart
---------------What I might be able to do
---------------Imagine it coming true
How can I know,
What could happen
If I never
Dare imagine
How can I know
What could happen
Life on earth might
Just be heaven
---------------Imagine
---------------It happens
---------------What glory
----------------That story
----------------What I might be able to do
-----------------Imagine it coming true
How Can I know
What could happen
If I never
Dare Imagine
How can I know
What could happen
Life on earth might
Just be heaven.
