about

Music composed by Mateo Messina
Melody & lyrics by Adjoa Skinner

So Mateo and I were talking about collaborating on something. He's a dear friend & I'm so grateful to have him and his wife Tammy in my life!

Years back he played me this really ridiculously awesome piece of music that went on for 8-10 minutes. I felt like a kid in a candy store because here I was with this incredible composer and all I had to do was listen through and say.... ahhh there's the chorus... there's the verse... and what do you think of this melody and lyric? BAM! POW! AWESOME!

You can check out Mateo's other fabulous work at:

This is by far one of my favorite songs that I've ever been apart of.
I've been chomping at the bit to share it with you :-) Hope you enjoy!
We already have a dance group on the other end of the world that has heard it and wants to dance to it :-) yeayyyy can't wait to see the video!

lyrics

Come stay with me now
for the rain comes too fast
I need you dear Sun
to be round me long last

I hear the thunderstorm
and lightning in the distance warn
- But I trust you

I can feel the energy
the winds of change are changing me

Come wrap me in warmth
and lead me in light
I need you dear Sun
To make day out of night

I hear the thunderstorm
and lightning in the distance warn
- But I trust you

I can feel the energy
the winds of change are changing me

The Sun has begun to shine on me
The Sun has begun to shine on me

Wind blowing the trees
trick the leaves... to fall down

But I can't believe
that it can.. bring me down

The Sun has begun to shine on me
The Sun has begun to shine on me
