about

For the longest time I didn't know what this song meant, but then I shaped the nonsensical words into a story about calling on The Fool to help me laugh myself up above the battle and the struggle ... to see everything in perspective. The second verse expresses my anger at losing my innocence, the resolution of which is to "find my fucking wand"... And the outro, "Heart, Shine a Light" is just about my calling on my heart to direct me through joy and pain, confusion and clarity.

lyrics

V1
Fool in my vision / charm me awake when / the shadow moves in and the army seizes the valley / we'll hop to her cliff then

V2
You were that shadow / darkening my playroom / I'll fear you so what do I do / find my fucking wand /

V3
then the spotlight glowing wild / shines upon that fearless child / with wings of whims / and feet of clay / all I need to stay / here where I belong in the heart of a song

Heart Shine A Light. . .
