Renata Ash wrote this song on the piano and I arranged it for guitar. Its the best song on the album and makes me cry every time I listen to it. Renata is shy about her music but of the two of us she is the better. Her musical training gives her a sense of harmony that I rarely capture. Our son John added his counter tenor voice which gives the song a haunting and deep feeling.
lyrics
Open My Heart (C min)
by Renata Ash
Open my heart and let the light flood in
Open my heart and let the love stream forth
Love and light make the shrine of my heart
May the beauty of my soul
May the love in my heart
May the light of my spirit, may it grow
May it grow, may it grow, may it grow, may it grow.
Om Om Om
Open my heart and let the light flood in
Open my heart and let the love stream forth
Love and light make the shrine of my heart
May the beauty of my soul
May the love in my heart
May the light of my spirit, may it grow
May it grow, may it grow, may it grow, may it grow,
may it grow, may it grow, may it grow , may it grow,
May I grow, may I grow, may I grow, may I grow.
