Story Behind The Song
Though I've had an amazing career writing, recording, performing inspiring music around the world, I had this restless feeling almost a couple years ago - wanting something else, whatever was next. It was somewhat of a dark time as I tried to figure out what that was & ultimately it was about me getting over the fear of becoming a mother & saying yes to having a baby. So that's the new story in my life & in the interlude you can hear sounds from this new life - it's my baby cooing :)
Song Description
All it takes is a decision & this song starts with the mighty decision to trade in the rain/bad times for better times by focusing on yourself & wanting more for yourself. It's a song about encouraging yourself to take that step from darkness into the light, to have the courage to write a new story & feeling the gratitude of this new found life.

Lyrics
WRITE THE STORY
Gotta quit this rain, gonna find the sun
It's time I started taking care of number one
Tired of this song about a broken me
Gonna turn myself into the me I want to be
It's all in front of me
All my hopes & dreams
Become reality
Write the story of my life
Change the script from wrong to right
Turning darkness into light
I'm grateful to finally be alive
Breakin' through the clouds, shootin' for the stars
Cause where you place yourself's exactly where you are
I was lost in pain but I have found my heart
And now my soul & I will never be apart
This is my destiny
It's all meant to be
The love has set me free
(chorus)
Every day's another chance for a new life
When you open up your mind (gotta open up your mind)
Step into the power that's always been inside
Live your joy & let your light shine
Let your light shine...
(double chorus)
