I can hear the river singing I can hear her call my name I can feel the river flowing flowing deep within my veins Let the crystal waters lead me to my home In the ocean of perfection That lives deeper than my bones It lives deeper than my bones Can you hear the river singing Can you hear her call your name Can you feel the river flowing Flowing deep within your veins Let the crystal waters lead you to your home In the ocean of perfection That lives deeper than your bones It lives deeper than your bones Will you meet me in the water Will you leave fear on the shore Will you come and swim beside me And we'll live in pain no more Let the crystal waters lead us to our home In the ocean of perfection That lives deeper than our bones It lives deeper than our bones It lives deeper than our bones It lives deeper than our bones

Ocean Song 04:23
Oh take from me this suffering And take from me this yearning For life without death For light without dark For knowledge without the learning Lead me to the ocean's edge To the tides of holy water Baptize me in the cool moonlight And take me down Mother, take me down To the place beneath the water And wash away this suffering And wash away this yearning For life without death For light without dark For knowledge without the learning I knock on the door of the one who knows She opens the ancient castle I meet her gaze eyes open wide And I follow her down Yes I follow her down Past the depths of my unknowing Please take from me this suffering Please take from me this yearning For life without death For light without dark For knowledge without the learning I dance with her on the ocean's floor In a current always churning I learn the ancient waltz of time What is born must die What is dead must rise What is lost is still returning

Already Know 05:17
My life is mine alone to live I've come this far to learn to give Myself the space to take it slow And trust my soul's desire to grow Oh hear my prayers wash over my soul Remind me what I already know My heart is mine alone to take Out of its shell though it may break Oh take me on a journey of Surrender through the grace of love Oh hear my prayers wash over my soul Remind me what I already know My mind is mine alone to fill With thoughts, ideas, cares, and will I watch them as they fade away Inviting in the space to pray Oh hear my prayers wash over my soul Remind me what I already know My breath is mine alone to send throughout my body end to end Oh move through me and gently heal The wounds that left me scared to feel Oh hear my prayers wash over my soul Remind me what I already know My voice is mine alone to give Expression to the song that lives Inside my heart, I let it flow And trust it knows just where to go Oh hear my prayers wash over my soul Remind me what I already know My story is mine alone to tell The pleasure and pain on which I dwell Depend on how I choose to see My own responsibility Oh hear my prayers wash over my soul Remind me what I already know My life is mine alone to live I've come this far to learn to give Myself the space to take it slow And trust my soul's desire to grow Oh hear my prayers wash over my soul Remind me what I already know Oh hear my prayers wash over my soul Remind me that I already know

about

Carrie Firestone New York

Carrie Firestone's music was born from a vision of a tree that appeared in a moment of hardship and said, "You must sing your way out of this." With the support of a circle of musical friends she did just that. Her debut album, Deeper Than Bones, is a deeply personal collection of songs that double as prayers unbound from dogma, unabashed in their celebration of womanhood in its myriad forms. ... more
