LYRICS:
Pushing up, pushing up
Through the dirt just like a seed
But you’re never quite a flower
You feel more just like a weed
Driving through, driving through
You want to know where you are going
But the windshield’s always dirty
And you never get to see
What makes you think that you’ll ever get there?
What makes you think you deserve to know?
Who are you really, are you so important?
Take a look around and watch the world unfold
Watch the world unfold
Watch the world unfold
Watch the world unfold
Need advice, need advice
You have no clue what you’re doing
Moral compass it is spinning
And identity unhinged
Where to turn, where to turn?
There are so many opinions
And they’re all a little different
And the outlook’s getting dim
What makes you think that you’ll ever get there?
What makes you think you deserve to know?
Who are you really, are you so important?
Take a look around and watch the world unfold
Watch the world unfold
Watch the world unfold
Watch the world unfold
Pushing up, pushing up
Through the dirt just like a seed
But you’re never quite a flower
You feel more just like a weed
I was just diagnosed with a chronic illness that has been making me ill for years. This song was exactly what I needed right now and it moved to me to tears. Thank you so much for sharing your artistry with the world ♥ I am still grieving, but I feel hope.
I love your voice and what you're doing for your comunity. You have a beautiful way to touch people's heart. It happens to me when I hear your voice, so sweet, so pure and your lyrics mean something.
Keep spreading love, knowledge and creativity dear Gaelynn.
Absolutely beautiful! ....thank you for this.....I'm a musician also and also have a disability....significant traumatic brain injury.....and I also try to use my music to raise awareness and also to make people happy.....and you sure did make me happy today....you are a beautiful artist and advocate! I'm so happy i came across you today!
I love Gaelynn’s beautiful music❤ I discovered it on the radio, then heard her speak about advocacy. Gaelynn is so talented and I’m so grateful to be able to listen to her music.
I love your music & what it repents & presents to the world, the lyrics are powerful & your violin play g adds to the emotion of what's being told/sung. I'm a singer songwriter too🤗
Gaelynn, you are true, pure gift to all. Thank you for your generous philosophy. I adore your voice. Reminds me of my dear friend who I miss often, Debra Burke. Like you, she had tons of hutzpah and inspired me often.
just beautiful Gaelynn... thank you--for your vision for all of us too!
Can't believe it took me so long to find your music, you are absolutely singularly magnificent! Every song you have written/released has so overwhelmed me - your artistry is actually just spiritually transcendent in a way I am convinced is totally unparalleled. Thank you so much for your music and please tour Australia one day. 😍🥰🤩
Wonderful! RIP, Judy Heumann.
You bless me every single time I listen to you
I didn't know you until just now. What a stunningly beautiful talent you share! Music turns to Light in both your hands and your voice!
Only the body is maybe disabled but your spirit is very able and when you follow it, you are forever free to do all you desire in your heart. God bless you over and beyond. The Lord is your strength... Keep it up sister. You just won a new subscriber here in Switzerland though from the Fiji Islands. Shalom
You are so incredible to listen to on every level. What a beautiful voice, beautiful instrument playing. Thank you for your music. ❤😊
Thank you so much for sharing your passion and talent with the world!
I don’t know what to say except I love your sound, your voice and artistry
thank you so much for this gaelynn
We can hear her soul when she sings.
You are amazing! i remember you coming to my school!
So beautiful.
Balm for the soul.
I really needed to hear this. Thanks for making me think about disabled voices more!
Disabled artist here. Just stumbled across this and I wanted to let you know how struck I was by your music.
As a differently enabled person myself I agree with you.
Superb in every way. ❤🎉
❤
You a truly one in a trillion.
Now THIS is a quality plus video! Outstanding crew that shows you as you should be presented! And I am very glad it was a Duluth production! It's great to have the captions as they should be , every word correct.
I have always been so impressed by your eloquence Gaelynn. There was only one thing missing.. Your infectious giggle!
Me gusta mucho tu música. Saludos desde Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Beautiful piece!!!!❤😢
Gaelynn Lea you have once again touched my heart with your loving art...i love weeds, they appear uncalled where they want to be and where they belong. It delights, if you let it, with surprising beauty, more beautiful than the artificial and cold beauty of expensive orchids that are meant to flatter vanity. Where do you find more butterflies than on nettles, where more bees than on dandelions? 💗
I love your voice, the music and the message.
Thanks for sharing, Gaelynn. :)
💙🌬🌹
I celebrate with U!
You have amazing talent ! you deserve the best💖💖
Gaelynn tienes todo lo que muchos no tenemos! gracias
Just beautiful, keep going Gaelynn i'm sure you'll get there!
Ah Gealynn 😊 Good to see you again. Good to know you're still there 🙏😊
Downright amazing what people can do.
what a beautiful song and performance -- I loved what you said at the beginning and end as well -- such beautiful, wise words
I love you. Your voice is so beautiful.
You are a flower, a beautiful flower!!!
❤❤❤
Beautiful. Your music is very special.
WISEEE!!!
AND LOVE!!!💗💗💗
That was wonderful, it took me a while to come back out of it :)
There are phrases like "Different-Ability" (which is ok but a bit patronising) but it's not the language/words that necessarily need changing but the meaning and understanding behind them. This understanding comes first and fastest from personal experience, otherwise from someone in your immediate family or closest friends can provide the relevant experience. As an example: Attempt to go through a single day (including at least one shopping trip) confined to a wheelchair (they can be hired but a donation is always welcome). Yep, just one day and you'll understand just SOME of the challenges that someone truly confined cannot escape from.
The negative bias in any form of "disability" is always prevalent and in certain circumstances make the situation worse. Just as the human brain has the flexibility to "boost" one sense when deprived of another, talents and abilities get shuffled around so there's often a balance where you're pants at one thing and absolutely stunning in another.
Many of us prefer to live looking at the positive side of life and not to rot, being dragged back by the negative. (I'm ASD, ADHD, PDA, EUPD)
much love
👏👏👏👏❤️ Gaelynn🙏
Beautiful!!!
Замечательно!
💚💚💚
Just Love it 💙🕯️🐚
Definitely not a weed, but a bud of hope to people battling with disability. What a cool young lady, I wish I had her outlook and confidence, she's awesome.
This was amazing
Great song! Love the lyrics, playing and all of it. Nice imagery in the lyrics.
I hope it's ok to mention a project I have going. It's a music collaboration on any kind of music with the focus on peace, rights, sustainability and basically anything that can make this a better world and can be done over the internet. It's not for monetary profit, but a better world is a return isn't it? 🙂If you would like to work on a song together Gaelynn Lea or anyone just drop me a line.
And to anyone reading this, please NOTE.... I am not trying to distract from Gaelynn's song or channel, so please make sure to check out all she has here. I am just mentioning what I mentioned since I thought it tied in with some of what she was saying.
Thanks again.
Peace.
❤❤❤

*You’re amazing*
Your songwriting CAPABILITY is from God Himself. Truly divine. Music is such a gift. I don't see you as disabled. You are clearly enabled, and unlocked. If you were like everyone else, you would probably have gotten normal people blessings, but the blessings that means the most are the ones that God gives SPECIFICALLY to those who are considered "weak" simply to confound the wise and prudent. Seek God. He's watching you closely and has His hand on your life. There is 100% satisfaction under His wings.
I love you as a solo artist but I'd also love to see you as part of a touring ensemble. It'd be so great to see you in a band with multiple soloists working all together sort of like Fleetwood Mac or Belle and Sebastian. But that's just me and maybe not your dream at all. Regardless I really enjoy hearing and seeing your work.
Should do something with Regina Spektor. Gorgeous song!!
Great song! Great message! I don’t deserve to know but I do know! 1John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God that you may KNOW that you HAVE eternal life and that you may believe on the name of the Son of God.
May the Lord richly bless you Gaelynn!
It is time to acknowledge the toxins in our "for-profit" world which contribute to making so many people less than abled. Disability is not celebratory. We need to do better at preventing it.
"Abled" is necessarily celebratory either. Handicaps are far less dire than the world wants to pretend. Sure they can be a challenge, but so is everything.
Trust me when I tell you this...
You don't want Equality... You don't want to be part of the Herd (the majority)... You as you stand are unique and that is very rare title / label to achieve !
You simply lack perspective and that's a good thing...
Yeah, but you're not trans...
