“My Amen”

Words by Ernio, Song by Aquino

Photo by Gian-Reto Tarnutzer

I am in bed and lying still Thoughts in my head are flying ‘til I write them down and shut the light It’s my amen This is goodnight

The day is passed The night is calm My heart beats fast Sweat in my palms I take a breath Let out a sigh It’s my amen I close my eyes

And the dreams they come pouring in Like waves upon the shore And it seems I am ignoring them To wait for something more

But nothing comes no sight or sound If nothing comes will I be found

The new day breaks and dawn is near How my heart aches withdrawn with fear I rise up slow and soldier on It’s my amen The night is gone

And the dreams they all fly away Like birds upon the wind And it seems to be a brighter day to find some peace within

But nothing comes on roads I’ve crossed If nothing comes am I just lost

I wrote the above lyrics and sent them to my longtime friend and talented musician Michael Aquino. He took them and composed this beautiful song.

This is our fifth song collaboration together (hear our previous work here). Aside from these songs — composed for February Album Writing Month and The 50/90 Challenge — Aquino recently released his own debut album Giants Will Fall available at michaelaquino.com.
