Rise- Sonya Heller Music ©2016-ASCAP
VERSE I
I stand in the frozen
here against the Winter sky
hands in my pocket
move along the trees
seeking shelter
from the northern wind
gonna walk with the right
gonna walk with the Left
VERSE II
out of the shadows
gonna take the next step,
the next step
the next right step
into the trenches I have stumbled
uot of the trenches I have come
a martyr for the fallen Angels
who dwell beneath the wooded ground
And they fade away and I fade away
CHORUS
gonna rise inside gonna rise inside
gonna rise, gonna rise,
gonna rise, gonna rise... hmmm
VERSE III
gonna put one hand up, gonna put the next hand, one foot
one step one hope one dream one line one little me
one big little me one big little me
oh don’t you see it now
oh don’t you see me now
oh don't you see me now
yes I can see me now
I can see me now oh I can see me now you better watch out cuz
I can see me now I can see me now.

Rag and Bone -(c)2017- Sonya Heller Music- ASCAP
Verse
Thinner than a rag & bone
Colder than a rolling stone
Hung his hat and called it home
Never cared about being alone
Something’ ‘bout him pulled me in
Free as air free as the wind
Part of me was just like him
On the outside looking in
I lived inside the books I read
Roadside shows and travelin’ bands
Magic tricks and sleight of hand
Robin Hood and far-off lands
Chorus
Word out he was back around
Caught him at the edge of town
Packed a bag and stood my ground
I said
Take me I’m your lost and found
Your lost and found
take me I’m your lost and found
Your lost and found
instrumental..
Verse
I see myself in you my son
Felt the same when I was young
I’ll see you on the road somewhere
Now go back to your Mama's care
I'm gonna find you rag & bone
and when I do we'll take the road
I’ll hang my hat and call it home
Watch you when you're good and old
I’ll watch you when you're good and old
I’m gonna find you rag & bone
Gonna find you rag & bone

No Questions Asked-©2017 Sonya Heller Music-ASCAP
Long day slow start
my breath is scented by a kiss that lingered far into the night air
salt sea
jasmine layered longings
always draw you back to me
One thought one glance
a mindless slip and then the hours pass
while hands keep working on mundane tasks
and in the Sacred Silence there are
no questions asked
I would gladly trade the everyday for one more chance
but on this path of parallels
there are no questions asked
no questions asked
no questions…

Timeless Time-©2021-Sonya Heller Music-ASCAP
Verse
ancestors come alive
thru me with me
they have taken breath
in this very place
their stories preserved
told thru your
sweet and mournful sound
of loves and losses
children born and grown
souls in waiting
whisper from beyond
I shall come to be your teacher
and you shall come to know my song
Chorus
Skin and bone shall fall away
all you long for washed away
in the book of ages
yours is but a single page
In Timeless time
Verse
caverns echo
whistle in the wind
do you hear them call
to sit beside your clan
where hands have touched
what you have touched
and all have walked
where you have walked
take your place
for all you’ve come to learn
then take your leave
and here you will return
where hands have touched
what you have touched
and all have walked
where you have walked
Chorus
Skin and bone shall fall away
all you long for washed away
in the book of ages
yours is but a single page
In timeless time
In timeless time
in timeless time
