All In
Adrienne Shamszad © 2023
I found my love in a sacred place
Floating like an otter out beyond the waves
The sparkle in his eyes
called out to mine
I became an otter too so we could play
So I swim
and I say my prayer
I would go with you anywhere
You’re my blood
you’re in my skin
And I want to dive
All the way in
All in
My love grew wings and he took the sky
He stared down at me with his eagle eyes
He was circling above
And I sang “All you need is love”
Tail feathers grew from my spine
So I fly
Yeah I catch the wind
I’m so ready for my life with you to begin
But love’s plan
it is what it is
Oh I wonder Love,
Will you let us in
All in
Out here in the sky
I won’t lose sight of you
I don’t know much of anything
But I know that much is true
And the hunters below
They’re fascinated by us
So we turn into wolves
And we challenge their guns
Aaaooooo!
My love ran off into the woods alone
Rain fell hard as I howled at the moon
But in the morning sky was clear
And I felt my lover near
Two legs, two arms, one heart,
One home
Now he sings into my ear
My love I’m not going anywhere
You’re my blood,
you’re in my skin
So I made a deal with love
Now She’s gonna let us in
All In
(All In)

Everlasting Love
Adrienne Shamszad ©2023
It’s not complicated
This fundamental truth
Everything I’ve been given
I’d give it back for you
I don’t have much money
And I don’t have much time
But I have the feeling
That everything is gonna fine
Yes it is, Everything
I turned on my station
And they won’t stop playing our song
I wish you’d come and listen
While the whole world sings along
I’ve been searching, I’ve been searching
All my life for a love like this
And I’m never gonna forget
That I wanna give you everlasting love
I could love you forwards and back
Love you from below and from above
I wanna give you everlasting love
I could love you for all my days and it still wouldn’t be enough
When my body wears out
As it most certainly will
May all that remains of me
Be the love that i made you feel
I wanna open up the tavern
Set all the drunkards free
Let their music fill the earth
As they sing along with me
I wanna give you everlasting love
I could love you forwards and back
Love you from below and from above
I wanna give you everlasting love
I could love you from beyond the grave and it still wouldn’t be enough
For an Everlasting Love, Everlasting Love
A love that’s everlasting
Always will I give you love
Love that’s never ending
Forwards backwards and above
A love that’s everlasting
Forwards backwards and above
Love that’s never ending
Always will I give you love
A love that’s everlasting
Forwards backwards and above
Love that’s never ending
Always will I give you love

Sing and Surrender
Adrienne Shamszad, 2020
Sing for the forest
Sing for the sky
Sing for the moments that are passing you by
Sing for the animals
Sing for your friends
Sing for the beginning and sing for the end
All of our days
Are endlessly numbered
as the clock runs, time stands still
Tomorrow’s never promised
To anyone
And the empty stage of life is yours to fill
So sing
Sing and then surrender
Sing and then let go
Sing for your happiness and sing for your sorrow
Sing because you can
Sing because it’s good
Sing for all the people in the world who wish they could
All of our days
Are endlessly numbered
as the clock runs, time stands still
Tomorrow is never promised
To anyone
And the empty stage of life is yours to fill
So sing
Sing for your homeland
Sing for your soul
Sing for your brokenness, sing until you’re whole
Sing for your healing
Sing because it’s right
Sing your warmth into the cold dark night
All of our days
Are endlessly numbered
as the clock runs, time stands still
Tomorrow is never promised
To anyone
And the empty stage of life is yours to fill
So sing

It Takes What It Takes
Adrienne Shamszad ©2023
It’s easy to forget you in the dark
All my dreams are lost to me
When the lights go out
And I’m all alone
I can’t stop thinking about
All of my fears and my doubts
And ruminating on my wasted time
But the voice of truth is loud in me
And says “Whatever happens, that’s what has to be”
You know it takes, it takes what it takes
To make a thing a thing
I want the weight of the world
off of my back
I don’t wanna die with my suitcase unpacked
and my gifts in the bag
I’m tired of judging myself
And measuring my life against everybody else
I don’t want to waste my precious time
Why fight with history
Whatever happened that’s had to be
You know it takes, it takes what it takes
To make a thing a thing
I spent so much time
Oh thinking and praying and crying and begging
For what was not mine
And oh, what a burden wanting anything that I do not need
I’m tired of judging myself
And measuring my life against anybody else
I don’t want to waste my precious time
And I don’t wanna fight
I don’t wanna fight, no
Because it takes, it takes what it takes
it takes, it takes what it takes
it takes, it takes what it takes
To make a thing a thing
Oh everything happens for a reason
I don’t want the weather or the seasons
I can’t stop the rain from falling on my face
Oh I gotta make it through to find a brighter day
Oh everything happens for a reason
I don’t want the weather or the seasons
I can’t stop the rain from falling on my face
Lord, help me make it through to find a brighter day
Oooo...

Let It Go
Adrienne Shamszad ©2023
When the storm washed all the roads away
Our plans were buried in the graveyard of yesterday
I tried to carry the water in my fists, I gripped with all my might
But the night said
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
When the sun rose and the light was falling all around
My hands were empty so I placed them open on the ground
I grew quiet and listened to the hum of the sea
Calling
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
I, I wait in the water
I, I wait in the water
I listen to the rhythm of the river
I go with the flow of the river
Home to the ocean
Home to the ocean
Home to the ocean,
The ocean of Love

Wash It All Away
Adrienne Shamszad ©2023
Don’t let me forget where I am from
Who I have come here to be
Please shake me awake
Awake from the nightmare that I see
Oooo…
I can’t stop this rain from falling
On my weary face
The walls are falling down around me
I don’t think that I’ll be saved
Wash it all away
Wash it all away
I’m running against myself, against my past
Against all the holograms and thieves
The ground is crumbling fast
I’m coming in fast, covered in mud and memories
Oooo…
I can’t stop the rain from falling
On my weary face
I’ve been holding for so long
And there’s nothing to say
But wash it all away
(wash it all away)
Wash it all away
(wash it all away)
Wash it all Away
(wash it all away)
Wash it all away
I’ve been fighting for so long
Fighting against no one
Living inside a fantasy
One that is killing me
But I’m not going out this
No, No!
Ooooh…
Wash it all away
Wash it all away
Wash it all away
Wash it all away
Ooooh…
(wash it all away)
(wash it all away)
(wash it all away)
(wash it all away)
(wash it all away)
(wash it all away)
(wash it all away)

Lovesong In The Void
Adrienne Shamszad ©2023
When I saw You,
my breath was taken from me.
Like a rose in bloom
You show Yourself completely.
Oh, a Rose, in a world of dust and ashes…
Everybody seems to think they know Love,
but they run from that endless vastness
When the light grows dim,
leave a candle in Your window.
And when the night is cold,
when the Veil gets thin,
Will You help me find my way back Home?
Oh, a Home, where the door is always open.
Where the Truth sits up on a throne
and where the Light remains unbroken.
I want to be submerged under Your waters
and feel the weightlessness of Your Love…
Gravity is heavy on my shoulders.
O! To be as light as the Light that I am made of!
Out beyond the boundaries of this life,
across the bridge of time and space,
there’s a stillness where everything is just right
and the moon shines on Your face.
Oh, the Moon, with a soul that’s just like mine
We are reflections, of the Sun
The Sun divine
I dive into the silence that surrounds me.
I’m on fire, but I dare not make a sound.
I’m ready, to free fall into nothing,
With You and me and the stars all around.
When I saw You
My breath was taken from me.
But oh, to love You.
You give the world to me.

One Last Time
Shamszad ©2023
In the evening of my life
I will see your name in lights
And the stars in my eyes
Will shine brighter
When you turn that one last key
And open up, the door for me
I will take you in from the threshold
Before I fall inside
Just to see you like this
One last time
And to love you like this
One last time
When they come to mourn my name
To cry from grief and ache with pain
Will you remind them
I’m at home with you dancing
If their fear becomes too great
Tell them to appreciate
Just how brief the chance is
To love like this
And to see you like this
One last time
Oh to love you like this
One last time
