about

There are lineages we learn from and lean on, and in return offer support for others. In my work as a psychotherapist, I am grateful for those who have helped me along the way, and privileged to offer support for those I see

lyrics

You’re Finally Home
With thanks and love to Julie Murphy

Intro/Ending
What are my shoulders
But the place where my wings are
You know what wings are
They’re our own sweet arms unfolded
Spread out wide
They’re our own hearts
Broken open wide

As s a child in bed in my family home
Darkness was a hole with no end
Whenever I crawled out they were fightin
And I fell right back in
I had a mamma who was never loved
And a daddy who went to war
My mamma’s house was never a home
And daddy couldn’t love no more

Chorus
You told me let your heart break
You told me you’re safe now
You told me we’ve taken you in
You never have to do it
By yourself again
You told me come on now
You told me hold on now
You told me you belong with us
You made it love
You’re finally home

I want to let out the hurt there’s blood in my veins
Then I might as well bleed
If I turn into iron and I don’t want nothing
Then there’s nothin I need
When I’m down in the darkness I want to talk
But I never know what to say
Down in the darkness I want to love
But I also keep love away

I spent a lot of years hidin or tryin too hard
A lot of time hopin for more
I can live by my love or live by my fear
Whatever I choose I get it back and more
Life is here where I am now
With the warm rain on my skin
If I want love then I give my love
And I let love right back in

Chorus

about

Kathleen Dunbar San Francisco, California

You may notice my songs are about angels and devils, birth, life, death, about creation and crumbling destruction—the troubles we humans get ourselves into and the choices we make—some of them funky, some of them ending in the dark, others rising into the light of morning. Touching, humorous, spellbinding storytelling—my songs brings you into the irony, the tragedy, and the possibilities of life. ... more
