Shadow Light

I’ve been searching for light in the shadows

I’ve been traveling the world just to feel it spin

I’ve witnessed pure joy

And I’ve witnessed deep suffering

I’ve felt so numb I just want to stand still

But I practice my will

Let it move

Just let it move on through

In the power of expression

We find the connection

To live our truth

I’ve been trying to learn how to face this sadness

I’ve been trying to learn how to feel this grief

From moments of love

To moments of loneliness

I surrender in gratitude for being

In the process of healing

Let it move

Just let it move on through

In the power of expression

We find the connection

To live our truth

Anger will turn to advocacy

Sorrow will turn to bliss

There’s no reason to fear my love

All arises from the darkness

When everything’s spinning around round round

Everything’s spinning around

As everything’s spinning around round round

Our light is found 

When everything’s spinning around round round

Everything’s spinning around

As everything’s spinning around round round

Our light is found 

Let it move

Just let it move on through

In the power of expression

We find the connection

To live our truth

If I can love your shadow

I can love all of you

I am here to witness

What you’re living through

Cuz I’ve been searching for light

I’ve been searching for light 

I've been searching for light 

In the shadows

About the song: 
This song was written by Emily Hall in August 2019. It was inspired by the practice of healing dance (5 Rhythms) and the power of letting emotions move. After the dance, a friend shared that "the opposite of depression is expression." This song was written to honor the process of moving through all emotions in order to express one's truth. 

Official studio recording coming soon!
