about

I started this song while driving to my family's cabin in Pennsylvania when I recorded ideas into my phone. I have written over 300 songs and when deciding on which ones to finally put on the album, I noticed an OPEN theme. When I first got to the studio in Nashville, I recorded just a scratch vocal idea as a possible additional song. My producer Mondo said, "I feel you" and created this amazing track.

lyrics

Open
Shawna Ray Rhythm Ray, ASCAP 2010

The air through my window today is calling me to be brave;
Moving with the blue wind and
I’m standing here amazed by a pink-purple haze
Lapping up the sun as it says goodbye to yesterday

I am open to change. I’ve envisioned one day
When the love I’ve been dreaming of will show up and say
I am open. Oh oh oh open


Sky is my teacher today as I learn how to pray
With the faith of a child
Clouds form in two-toned shades and I give thanks
In a conversation with God, we journey on

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
(open...) Through the storms that crash in
With a rain, always cleansing
The day that turns to night
While the moon is hanging
With the stars, and all is still

I am open to change. I’ve envisioned one day
When the love I’ve been dreaming of will meet me and say
I am open. Oh oh oh open
Oooooooooooopen
Oooooooooooopen
Oooooooooooohhhh
