    Lyrics:
    How can I be found
    If I don’t know where I am?
    How can I start over
    When I don’t know where to begin?
    I had a place to call home
    But I’d never felt so lost
    A picture perfect life of lying
    And they didn’t know that I was dying
    See, I left everything behind
    A husband I could call mine - kind of
    And that’s a problem
    And yeah, everybody’s got 'em
    But
    I’m not one to up and quit
    And I got tired of faking it
    Escaped into the night just...
    To finally be the girl who says
    Yes to what she feels instead
    No more breaking into pieces on the ground
    I have heard that there's a light in me
    Like mighty fire that’s burning free
    So I’ll chase it till the day my heart stops beating
    They can wish that I would die - But I’m still breathing
    No matter what the cost…
    I don’t wanna feel lost
    Who am I alone?
    Well, I guess I’m finding out.
    'Cuz I feel like I'm a feather floating
    Just spinning ‘round, and never knowing…
    My father showed me anger
    From a darkness deep inside
    And my mother, sweet as pretty a flower
    With no voice to stand up to his power
    See, Dad taught me to fall in line
    To pray and let my “light shine” - kind of
    And that’s a problem
    And yeah, everybody’s got ‘em
    But
    I couldn’t take another hit
    From his religion or his fist
    Escaped to the night just…
    To finally be the girl who says
    Yes to what she feels instead
    No more breaking into pieces on the ground
    I have heard that there's a light in me
    Like mighty fire that’s burning free
    So I’ll chase it till the day my heart stops beating
    They can wish that I would die - But I’m still breathing
    No matter what the cost...
    I don’t wanna feel
    Lost inside
    The what if I…
    Should’ve i…
    Could’ve i done it?
    'Cuz a wife is taught to be quiet
    So I tried to stay,
    But i couldn’t fight it
    I thought if I was saved -
    And I obeyed things would be perfect
    But the lying just isn’t worth it, when you’re hurting
    And don’t deserve it
    It feels worthless - but maybe
    It’s worth it
    If I could
    Finally be the girl who says
    Yes to what she feels instead
    No more breaking into pieces on the ground
    I have heard that there's a light in me
    Like mighty fire that’s burning free
    So I’ll chase it till the day my heart stops beating
    They can wish that I would die - but I’m still breathing
    They can wish that I would die - but I’m still breathing
    No matter what the cost…
    I don’t wanna feel lost
    I don’t wanna feel lost

    Unbelievable, It's not just the voice, but the staccato phrasing, the altering between voice and song. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. The difficult tempo is perfect, the careful breathing, the sighing. The bitter laughter, the poignant pauses, the rueful phrasing. The song is so HARD, rough and stark. If it doesn't bring a tear, there is truly something wrong with you.

    Today I listened to Peter's performance of "I'm Still Here," and the word "still" made me remember that his wife once released a song with that word that I recalled being something quite special. Returning here now, I can see again why this song and this performance left that lasting impression. Peter once did a neat promotion where people covered his wonderful Christmas song. I'd love to see this song get that same exposure. This song shakes me.

    Sweet Evonne, you have no idea how your voice and the music and lyrics have wildly changed our lives. You have given us words to articulate how we often feel.Poverty of language is a huge barrier to feeling seen, heard, and understood, and this song gives me those precious gifts. As a person with a h/o CSA, we often feel like we're free falling with no net, and your music makes us feel so subjectively-held. We've shared this song with friends, our therapist, peers from support groups, fellow survivors, etc. Keep singing - you're changing lives. The Butterfly Effect is real 🦋

Thank heavens we live in an age where this kind of magic can reach across the pond to France.

      Well, we're just at the beginning stages of writing Milagro. In a perfect world, maybe we can perform it in France someday.

    Wow. Really, just wow. If this is just one of the songs from the musical, I cannot wait to hear the rest.

    So glad I came across your channel. I really liked this first song and can hardly wait to hear more.
