about

I really feel I am this song now, co-written with Nanne-Emelie from Denmark. Elisabet suggested I put the lyric into present tense. I think that move really transformed the song, and in the process, transformed me.

lyrics

STRONG IN SPIRIT
(Jon Strider-Nanne Emelie)
I will live my strongest wish
I will break beyond my borders
Standing naked like a newborn child
Strong In Spirit, free of fear
Strong In Spirit, free of fear

I will rise on Wings of Love
To take my Spirit high
I will stand on top of your mountain
For a moment or a lifetime
Wide open to receive
Wide open to believe___

I will live my strongest wish
I will break beyond my borders
Standing naked like a newborn child
Strong in Spirit, free of fear
Strong in Spirit, free of fear

Now I dare to see what’s true
I’m finally coming to
Really believe it, this bigger point of view
Now I take this leap of faith
and trust the steps I make
Feels so fragile
Feels so new___

(Instrumental solo: alto sax - Andreas Baro)

Now I live my strongest wish
As I break beyond my borders
Standing naked like a newborn child
Strong in spirit, free of fear
Strong in spirit, free of fear

(Musical Reprise feat. Skip Edwards on Hammond B3 with Andreas Baro, alto sax...)
