What is going on? #lorijeanfinnila #grateful #healing #creator

 I feel like I’ve been fighting for my life with my teeth trying to be fixed. And then today after the worst but still healing I see this? I’ve never been #1 anywhere ever with my music. A man who’s promoting my latest book going out nominating me for the Hoffer award (that has to be the biggest), and now I have over 700k views this week on my EPK? 😱🤷‍♀️👏👍❤️🤗 #grateful to be #alive You know when you’re beaten down you can help but to feel coming from your body why fight? But my mind says don’t go there. In then in an instance it’s

like you’ve never been there. #lorijeanfinnila #grateful #healing #creator

“Like a Broken Horse” #updatedlyrics #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter

 Like a Broken Horse


Verse

You’re taken down 

when u speak out

Ones that leave 

to bring strength

are chased after to break their spirit


Chorus

Run free before you’re found

before life tames you down

like a broken horse


Verse

The steam that gurgles 

as it drowns in our heads, our bodies

takes its last breath

sometimes there are those that survive it

who have talent to acquaint


Chorus

Run free before you’re found

before life tames you down

like a broken horse



Verse

The tree has been made

From a deal 

to carry on the domino effect 

to the broken spirit


We have to fly

so high not to be found

Some leave their homes

live in the woods

just to do the right thing


Chorus

Run free before you’re found

before life tames you down

like a broken horse



run free 2x


Before life takes you down



Like a broken horse

You caught me from falling….. #songlyrics #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter

 Worked a bit more on the song “The Dark.”


Verse

It’s so dark in my apartment

but not in my heart

When my mind wanders to wild thoughts

I know how deep it is that I’ve been touched

Sometimes I bring you in my mind

To make my day brighter

But more often I’m surprised

How you find your own way to me


Chorus

I want to cry so many times 

to see the face of God

in spite of ourselves

Where love is God is


Verse

There are times when I awaken frightened 

you’ve been a part of my dreams

Running to me save me when my imagination runs wild

I have to stop and catch myself into your arms escaping the fall


Chorus

I want to cry so many times 

to see the face of God

in spite of ourselves

Where love is God is


Verse

I haven’t shared this with anyone

how vulnerable I am to love

honestly was going to settle upon 

not finding what was right for me

Then you came along so bold and strong 

I couldn’t ignore your attention

 

Chorus

I want to cry so many times 

to see the face of God

in spite of ourselves

Where love is God is

New Writing #lorijeanfinnila #womenauthors #thedark

 This was written with a very special person.


It’s so dark in my apartment but not in my heart

When my mind wanders to wild thoughts

It always takes me to you

And now I know how deeply

My love has been touched by you


Sometimes I bring you here with me

To make my day brighter

But more often you surprise me

And find your own ways into my thoughts 


There are times when I awaken frightened 

I realize that you’ve been a part of my dreams

Running to me saving me

Then during the day when my imagination runs wild

I have to stop and catch myself

it takes me into your arms to feel safe

knowing that’s the place I need to be


Want to cry

So many times I haven’t shared with someone 

how frightened I’ve been in my life

I used to be afraid to fall feeling like falling off a cliff 

I don’t feel that anymore 

but you remind me how vulnerable I am to love


I honestly was going to settle upon 

not finding a man that was right for me

Then you came along so bold and strong 

I couldn’t ignore your attention

 

Love brings happiness ... "The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves


Where love is, God is ... "And remember, as it was written, to love another person is to see the face of God

“I Grow in You’ #newsong #lyrics #growing #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter


“I Grow in You”

Verse

I love how we talk about things

It’s all in the growing of a human being

It’s the best way to handle our feelings

And the future ahead of us


It’s all about hard work and faith

Holding onto yourself 

Till you see the right person you’re looking for

Your words make me see the future 


Chorus 

I grow in you

While you grow in me

Life is full of good things

If you seek it with honesty


Verse

God in my life

Not as much as he should be

But I try to live my life as honest as I can


I’m sorry babe

But I put many things on my brain

Oh I’m so sorry honey, My queen

I didn’t know what you were talking about


Chorus 

I grow in you

While you grow in me

Life is full of good things

If you seek it with honesty


Verse

Life is full of joy

Your feelings make me happy

I love how we talk about things

It’s all about maturity in the human sense and body

Life is full of good things

If you seek it with honesty


Chorus 

I grow in you

While you grow in me

Life is full of good things

If you seek it with honesty
