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!
