“Ballad of Renewal” though uplifting has made all kinds of people weep; from lovely 16 year-old girls to 60+ year-old men. It has won honorary mentions in the American Songwriter Mag. Lyric Only contest (may/June 2009 issue) as well as the Billboard Mag. Songwriters 2009 Competition. No wonder it was the first song I wrote that so many people want to cover! -N.
Ooohhhh
Let the rain fall
And wash right over me
Ooohhh let the rain fall
And cleanse my body clean
Let my spirit be untroubled
Tranquil and serene
Ooohhhh
Let the rain fall
And wash right over me
Ooohhhh
Let this fire
Burn out of control
Ooohhh let this fire
Revitalize my soul
And sow the seeds of renewal
After losing you
Ooohhh
Let this fire
Burn out of control
Ooohhhh
Let the wind blow
And sweep my fears away
Ooohhh let the wind blow
And dry my tears today
Let its breath restore my convictions
And give me peace of mind
Ooohhhh
Let the wind blow
And ease my fears with time
Ooohhhh
Let the Earth
Heal me as it warms
Ooohhh, let the Earth
Shield me from lifes storms
Let my heart be soothed by nature
As I learn to endure
Ooohhh
Let the Earth
Heal me as it warms
