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.
