Thank you checking this out. I called this song “Sandpainting of My Life”. This song was inspired by the tremendous amount of work that goes into creating a Mandala, which is then scattered by the wind. For me, it resonated with the amount of work we do during our life, which… ends. And although, billions of lives end, those alive today are either pushed down or propped up by the people from their past.  

I guess, it’s an appreciation that I have no choice but to pass. The only choice left then: what do I leave behind?  I could leave hurt. Or I could leave love.  So, maybe, we can let go a bit more, and instead of worrying about rights/wrongs, re-focus on the joy that comes from working on a piece of art – your life. Just like the creators of Sandpaintings.  Your life is your Mandala! 

Lyrics:

One for all – all for one. It’s still war – lost or won 
Show up, hang out, play, have fun 
Help grow love before you’re done and gone 

Sand painting of my life 
What will it matter the choice of colour 
Scattered around by the wind 
What’s left is love you gave another 

One for all – all for one. It’s still war – lost or won 
Show up, hang out, play, have fun 
Help grow love before you’re done and gone 

My moment flair for the Universe 
My happened life, like a Mandala 
To-do lists swell and quickly fade 
What’s left is love you gave another 

One for all – all for one. It’s still war – lost or won 
Show up, hang out, play, have fun 
Help grow love before you’re done and gone 

Sometimes I get caught up in the work 
Mainly at stronger gusts of wind 
Harder to see my love through the murk 
Push all aside, straining to win 
Then, gently notice with a grin and do a 180 spin 

One for all – all for one. It’s still war – lost or won 
Show up, hang out, play, have fun 
Help grow love before you’re done and gone 

And then Georgie would make the fire light 
As it was, love would burn in through the night
My fear is my only courage
So I’ve got to push on through, and what I’m gonna need…

(Imagine all the people, living their lives in peace 
You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one 
I hope one day you will join us and the world will be as one) 

One for all – all for one. It’s still war – lost or won 
Show up, hang out, play, have fun 
Help grow love before you’re done and gone
