about

"Step Into Your Essence" is a piece for anyone that has ever dealt with self-doubt. This is an anthem of self love, and is an invitation for all of us to bravely and deeply be ourselves.

lyrics

I have something to say, I can be no one else but me.
I have something to share, and not something to prove.
I'm tired of being afraid,
An age old condition of waiting on permission,
And feeling like you're not enough.

I am more than net worth, and I am not my things.
I am not my hair, or the fancy clothes that I wear.
I'm tired of trying to be perfect,
An age old condition of waiting on permission,
And feeling like you're not enough.

Step into your essence, for the time to live is now!
There's a courage in your wisdom, and a strength boulder than doubt,
When we step into our essence, for the time to live is now!
There's courage in your wisdom, and a strength boulder than doubt.

I have something to give, I have got so much love in me.
I have something to live for, my spark is now aflame.
For I am light, and you are light, and we are light.

When we step into our essence, for the time to live is now.
There's a courage in your wisdom, and a strength boulder than doubt.
When we step into our essence, for the time to live is now!
