Story Behind The Song
I was sent a brief for a song need similar to a Leonard Cohen. I was once told by Jason Blume many years ago(songwriter/ author) I wrote lyrics that made him instantly think of that writer. Many thanks to Paul Hoyle for his collaborating on our song! Enjoy life and sing out "Praises" ~d

Lyrics
Praises (lyric Debbie Ward 2021)
I 've been lost and all alone
I 've been places I couldn't call home
I have been dropped to my knees
Yet even with all that I have seen
I sing praises
Praise for all I am
Praise for the spirit residing in man
Praise for the light across this land
I sing praises praise for all I have
Praise for the water that carries me
Praise for the soul
One day will be free
One day will be free
I have seen the first stone be cast
The beginning before it was past
I have seen where only love last
Yet even with all that I have seen
I sing praises
Praise for all I am
Praise for the spirit residing in man
Praise for the light across this land
I sing praises
Praise for all I have
Praise for the water that carries me
Praise for the soul
One day will be free
I sing praises Oh Oh
I sing praises
I sing praises for all I am
I sing praises
Praise for the water that carries me
Praise for the soul
One day will be free
One day will be free
