"Step into the Light"

Last night Daniel and I attended Mike Brush's concert at the Temple Theatre. It was a performance by his students (Vocalocity from SASA), his newest band, Brush Street, and some of his solo work. All of it original music. Mike is an excellent mucician and 'regular guy' and the program was just hard to describe; words like 'awesome' or 'great' just don't cut it.
Here are the lyrics from his song "Step into the Light" :

You know we've been hiding - way too long
It doesn't feel right - something is wrong.
Hard to define what is holding us down
And we can't find the answers just standing around.
The messages coming are chattering noise;
Creating confusion and clouding our joys.
The answers we need aren't so hard to find
It we could just set all this thinking aside.
Got to be quiet; Got to be still.
Let go of the ego. Let go of the will.
Give it to God to set it right, and sooner or later,
We'll step into the Light.

Second-hand lving - remote control
It all seems so distant. It all feels so cold.
So hard to surrender - so hard to let go,
To simply allow our days to unfold.
Throw open the doors and walk on in;
It's never too soon to start over again.
With each revolution comes a brand new day.
Don't let the old ones get in the way.
Got to be quiet; Got to be still.
Let go of the ego. Let go of the will.
Give it to God to set it right, and sooner or later,
We'll step into the Light.

It's time to shine through - and be who we are,
Radiant lights - Dazzling stars.
All of us are - in God we are one.
And seeing it clearly, we dance in the sun.
We can't long deny it - or hide it from sight.
Sooner or later, we'll step into the Light.

Thanks, Mike Brush, for sharing of our thoughts in such powerful music. Let 's all find some line of this piece and make it a reality today!
