Channeling Erik

I don’t ordinarily post anything on the weekend, but this wonderful gift from Donna F. moved me to tears. I believe this is important to share because I feel like it’s been channeled to Donna for a reason…to give us all encouragement and hope. I don’t know if this was channeled by Erik or by Donna’s guides, but it makes little difference. Regardless of the source, it touches the heart. I’ve included the lyrics and the mp3 file. Please enjoy and know that I love you all. Thank you, Sweet Donna.

BELIEVE – Trans Siberian Orchestra -

So after all those one night stands
You’ve ended up with heart in hand
A child alone
On your own
Retreating

Regretful for the things you’re not
And all the things you haven’t got
Without a home
A heart of stone lies bleeding
And for all the roads you followed
And for all you did not find
And for all the dreams you had to leave behind

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams

Don’t turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I’ll be right there
I’ll never leave
And all I ask of you
Believe

Your childhood eyes were so intense
While bartering your innocence
For bits of string
The grown-up wings you needed
But when you had to add them up
You found that they were not enough
To get you in
And pay for sins
Repeated

And for all the years you borrowed
And for all the tears you hide
And for all the fears you had to keep inside

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams

Don’t turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I’ll be right there
I’ll never leave
And all I ask of you
Believe

I never wanted to know
Never wanted to see
I wasted my time
‘Til time wasted me
I never wanted to go
Always wanted to stay
‘Cause the person I am
Are the parts that I play

So I plot and I plan
Hope and I scheme
To the lure of a night
Filled with unfinished dreams
And I’m holding on tight
To a world gone astray
As they charge me for years
I can’t pay
Yeah

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams

Don’t turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I’ll be right there
I’ll never leave
And all I ask of you

    Hello Elisa,

    Thank you for sharing this song. It also brought me to tears as well. And I don’t know who it was, but someone, a spirit was here with me while it was playing. The song just really speaks to me. It just says to believe, you know. Believe in yourself, believe your feelings….anything fits really. For me, I feel it means for me to believe in myself, to trust myself. That’s what came to mind when I listened to it. Again, thanks Elisa for sharing this. And thank you Donna for sharing it with Elisa to share with us.

    Thanks to you and Donna for sharing this. Wht a powerful song. Music is universal language adn healer of grief. A year after my father died I was driving when a song came on the radio that reminded me of him. I had to pull off the road because I was sobbing so hard. “…when you had to add them up
    You found that they were not enough
    To get you in
    And pay for sins
    Repeated”
    Is that a reference to having to earn our way into Heaven? I’m so glad we know better. Universal Love is stronger, purer, more forgiving than the theologies developed by humans.

    skoshi: I know what you mean…shortly after I lost my Mom I heard a song on radio that brought me to tears again..it was Boyz to Men “A Song for Mama” an absolutely beautiful tribute to all Moms.

    Chorus:
    “Mama, mama you know I love you
    Oh you know I love you
    Mama, mama you’re the queen of my heart
    Your love is like
    Tears from the stars
    Mama, I just want you to know
    Lovin’ you is like food to my soul”

    even now, as I listen, the tears spill….12 years later.

    Love to all…
