about
This is a song dedicated to the creative force of life
And to the humans who despite the world being a really hard place sometimes, still go inward and continue creating, bringing more beauty and more truth into the world. I know how hard it can be, and I love you so much and am so thankful to those of you who create.
Looking back now, and listening to this song, it seems that this dear girl Maree has so much to share - there is so much resistance and emotion there in the act of creation itself. Still I really feel this - the amount of work to just let myself do what I love is immense, battling many voices and traumas to just be able to squeeze out a song.
I am so proud of this dear little human and how far she has come. And I am so supportive of those of you who strive to be better and challenge yourself - learning how to put aside your own self-limiting beliefs to create things. I love you.
lyrics
I was born to be, all that I can be
I will fly high, you can not stop me
You will not tell me a thing, no shouldn'ts or buts,
I exist to follow my dreams
Watch me moving through all eternity
Spiraling higher and higher
You could come for a ride with me
Just do all you got to do and
Naturally we'll vibe together
Watch me move Watch me breathe
Watch me hear Watch me see
Watch me follow Watch me lead
Watch me live Watch me be
Chorus:
Shouldn't doesn't exist if you made it
Shouldn't doesn't exist if you care
Shouldn't doesn't exist if you made it
Shouldn't doesn't exist so beware
Take it slowly if you want it
Step by step each day
Just hold tight to what you see and you will make this world a better place
Just hold tight and do not show
That your afraid at all
Take it slowly if you want and you will make this world a better place
Chorus:
Shouldn't doesn't exist if you made it
Shouldn't doesn't exist if you care
Shouldn't doesn't exist if you made it
Shouldn't doesn't exist so beware
I was born to be all that I was born to be
I'm gonna keep on living this dream
I'm going to turn it into
A reality watch me, watch me unfolding
I was born to be, all that I was born to be
I'm going to keep on living this dream
I'm going to a reality watch me
Who am I meant to be today baby
Every little play it changes everything I see is changing all around me
I don't know what to say but I'm going to keep on pushing forward
Each and every part of me I'll open up the heart of me and
Follow you to see
Chorus:
Shouldn't doesn't exist if you made it
Shouldn't doesn't exist if you care
Shouldn't doesn't exist if you made it
Shouldn't doesn't exist so beware
