Lean In Toward The Light - Words and Music by Carrie Newcomer
From the 2016 album "The Beautiful Not Yet"
©2016 Carrie Newcomer Music (BMI), Administered by BMG Chrysalis

Connect with Carrie:

"I believe longing toward something that as sacred and whole is part of the human condition. To lean into the light and into hope is not about wishful or positive thinking. Hope is about doing the heart opening and gritty daily work of getting up each morning and trying again (each in our own way) to make the world just a little kinder place. To be cynical is so easy. When you are cynical, you are never disappointed. But when you choose to hope, to take the risk that eventually your heart will be broken- and then to get up the next morning and try again. Hope is the conscious choice to live leaning into something of reason and light."

FULL LYRICS:
Winter is the oldest season
But quietly beneath the snow
Seeds are stretching out and reaching
Faithful as the morning glow

Carry nothing but what you must (lean in toward the light)
Let it go, shake off the dust (lean in toward the light)
Today is now, tomorrow beckons (lean in toward the light)
Keep practicing resurrection

The shadows of this world will say
There's no hope why try anyway?
But every kindness large or slight
Shifts the balance toward the light

Waters wind and open wide (lean in toward the light)
Don't just walk when you can fly (lean in toward the light)
When justice seems in short supply (lean in toward the light)
Let beauty be your truest guide

The shadows of this world will say
There's no hope why try anyway?
But every kindness large or slight
Shifts the balance toward the light

The prayer I pray at eventide (lean in toward the light)
All left undone be put aside (lean in toward the light)
When forgiveness is hard to find (lean in toward the light)
Help me at least to be kind (lean in toward the light)

Have LOVED this song from the first time I heard it years ago!!! Perfect to happen onto it again today (tomorrow is the last day to vote in the US Presidential election). Have been longing for people to stop demonizing each other and start respectfully listening to each other. Learning from each other. This song makes it so easy because Living in Light truly is the Answer to Everything! May God Bless the USA + every other country (and location) on our Beautiful planet Earth.

My favorite "Prairie Mystic." There is a difference between a life of width and a life of depth.

Beautiful! I first heard this song recently in church and was completely enthralled by it. Immediately started searching for a source and found your website. A purchase of the album will soon follow!

I love all of your faster higher vibration songs. Beautiful voice, but the faster songs like this one and "room table" I prefer. More fast fun high energy ones like this, less of the slower paced ones
