Lyrics from the New Album, RAIN
RAIN is the culmination of a writing partnership with the ever-inspiring French composer, Tristan Des Pres (Keyboards. Piano, & Programming). The album includes a stellar lineup of featured artists including Jerry Goodman (Electric Violin), Jeff Snider (Guitar), Mick Rogers (Acoustic Guitar), and Calvin Lakin (Drums). “We've worked to create a positive ripple, our "Stitch in Time", messages left behind for those who listen, those who seek to find.” ~Lorah

All This Time
© 2014 Lorah Bodie
All this time, I have missed your hand in mine
How I’ve missed the way you smile
I’ve missed the way you laugh
Longed to kiss
Feel your strong and smooth caress
Hear your heart beat next to mine
Here with you in time
All this time I have missed you, love of mine
Spoke your name a thousand times
Wishing you were here, feeling you were near
All this time I have missed you, love of mine
Spoke your name a thousand times
Wishing you were here, feeling you were near
Will this kiss take me to another place, in time
Will this heart beat in rhyme with mine
Familiar smile, draws me in, hypnotic eyes
Now to feel your tender touch
Proves that nothing dies
Another Way Out
© 2014 Lorah Bodie
I’m trapped you say, well not today
There’s always another way out
For strength you pray to find a way
There’s always another way out
Don’t give up, rise and say
There’s always another way out
Time will come, we’ll rise as one
There’s always another way out
Pay attention now, the signs will soon appear
Trust in your perceptions, the out is near
It seems your options are in doubt
Your future quite unsure
But, don’t give up, it’s more than luck
The path will soon appear
Don’t hesitate, don’t be late
The opening is near
Your time will come, all will be done
The choice is crystal clear
Keep on Breathing
© 2014 Lorah Bodie
Somewhere in time, your hand in mine
Keep on Breathing
Warmth of the day, slipping away
Keep on breathing
Feels like I’m steeling time
Just to stay in line/rhyme
Keep on Breathing
It’s like it was before, just find the open door
Keep on Breathing
Back to when we shared the same memories
Two lives as one
Find a new start, but could be worlds apart
Keep on breathing
How can I find you now
Reach out and show me how
Keep on Breathing
I know it’s here somewhere
The door that takes me there
Keep on breathing
The Hills
© 2014 Lorah Bodie
The road seems long
The story never ending
One more conflict ends in suffering
For some manufactured cause
Many cried as brave ones died
Blood ran cold in the hills that day
The hills where all the bodies perished
The hills where all the bodies lay, yea
The hills where all the memories faded
And all tomorrows melt away, melt away
The hills sing out of days gone by
The hills sing out your name
The hills sing out, no more vengeance
And no more pain
The hills sing out, no more war
The hills sing out again
The hills sing out, no more killing
Pray for Rain, ah, pray for Rain
RAIN
© 2013 Lorah Bodie
Rain is here, it’s raining down upon me
Rain is here again
Something new is waiting just beyond you
Waiting to break through
Let it through, melting the ties that bind us
Rain will make us new
Rain is here, I was lost and then it found me
Breaking down the fear
Wash away all that hurts and binds us
Wash it all away
Raining down on all the grief that finds us
Wash it all away
Movin on, it’s time for starting over
Waiting to be gone
Rain is here, it’s raining down upon me
Rain is hear again
Same Mistake
© 2014 Lorah Bodie
I remember back when we were lovers
I remember when all was new
I remember tenderness and longing
I remember when it all broke through
It’s the same mistake I always make
The same mistake I always make
The same mistake
I won’t let go of all the times
we laughed and sang
We thought that we would
always have each other
We thought that all we had would last forever
You and I weren’t meant to last forever
Just for a time and them be gone
It’s better now, but sometimes I remember
It’s drifting by, don’t know why
just drifting by
It’s drifting by, don’t know why
just drifting by
Can't You Hear Them
© 2014 Lorah Bodie
You said it didn’t matter
That words can always change
But who’s the king; were you the pawn
In this eternal game
Giving up on what you believe in
Cause it didn’t seem so wrong
When on the day of reckoning
Your life’s your only song
Can’t you hear them
Can’t you hear them callin
Can’t you hear them call your name
This is the day of reckoning
Things will never be the same
You bid for all you wanted and
And, you paid for all you got
You add it all together
But, it doesn’t seem a lot
The sacrifice was hidden
So, you couldn’t see it’s face
But, you can’t ignore the feeling
That has brought you to this place
Don't Stop Runnin
© 2014 Lorah Bodie
Don’t stop runnin, cause they’ll keep comin
Keep on movin on 2) Comin after you
They’ll keep gunnin
So you can’t stop runnin ,no
The void is just ahead
You travel to worlds in view
Those who might survive
Vision freed for the ones in need
To find the other side
You’re nearly there, don’t despair
Catch the wind, ride on air
Steady through, tride and true
Standard protocol
Now discovered, all uncovered
Time to make anew
All that’s wanted, grieved and haunted
Goodbye, all that’s troubled you
Life is strange, rearrange
All you thought was true
Lead us to something new, come on
The void is just ahead
10.001
© 2014 Lorah Bodie
Imagine where you want to be
And then that’s where you are
Any time and any place
Nowhere is too far
Cruising at an altitude
Just above the stars
Moving through a million years
Past Jupiter and Mars
Past Jupiter and Mars
All is equal; all is fair in 10,001
Engineered to take you there in 10,001
All figured out; no more doubt
Everything is clear
Every wish and every dream
Imagine and it's near
Imagine and it's near
Catch Me
© 2014 Lorah Bodie
Catch me I’m falling
Falling back in love with you
Catch me I’m calling
Catch me as I fall for you
You’re all that I need
You’re the one to turn the key
You’re all I’m thinking of
All consuming song of love
It’s brand new, still back to
The way through, back to me and you
Plug into, we’ll pass through
The doors that lead to everywhere
Your gaze takes me away
Long lost love now here to stay
Back to where we belong
Two strong hearts will live on
It’s brand new, still back to
The perfect place to start anew
The fire burns higher
It rises melts the years away
Melts the years away
It’s brand new, still back to
The way through, back to me and you
Plug into, we’ll pass through
The doors that lead to everywhere
Everywhere
Stitch in Time
© 2014 Lorah Bodie
Movin forward, yet tied to past
Each new feeling, born to last
Rollin onward, each new day
Paints a picture, shows the way
Stitch in time, yours and mine
Links each moment, with a stitch in time
Everything matters, every smile on every face
Every moment, every act of grace
Everything matters, every right & every wrong
Every whisper, every word in every song
Stitch in time, yours and mine
Links each moment, with a stitch in time
Everything matters, every bird in every tree
Becomes the fabric, including you and me
Everything matters, every creature in the sea
Becomes the fabric, including you and me
