about

Renée about this song:

Inspired by the Rumi poem “The Guest House”, this song was written while I was undergoing cancer treatment and feeling particularly rich with love and support from friends and family.

lyrics

Lyrics:

First they took me down a road
Not a road I’d ever seen, it was dark and it was cold
Mortal end, mortal gold
Fight or flight, this crazy ride, I’m better letting go
CHORUS
All rise. All rise hear the recommendation
All rise. Sometimes the guide’s disguised in pain
All rise. All rise hear the recommendation
Meet the guide with an open light, all rise

And then they came into my home
They knocked me down and took everything I owned
I tried to see beyond alone
Where empty makes room for something new and unknown

CHORUS

Then they showed me to a shrine
Tall and shimmering, it illuminated time
My eyes followed up the line
And I could not conform, and I could not confine

CHORUS
