Hello everyone! Here is the page with the several musical gifts I promised. You should find 2 sound files: the short version of “Just As I Am” and the longer version. And the full lyrics. In addition, a quick review video of the workshop.

Remember, the lyrics are only guidelines. You can freely experiment with the music. There is no right or wrong way to sing. Just let your body relax, and stay aware of your surroundings.

And whatever relationship you have with your world, consider each moment a chance to discover something new about yourself and the world.

Feel free to share the page link with anyone you like. Thank you, and I hope to see you in another workshop!

Just As I Am - short version

Longer version

This one features a male voice, so if you're a male or a low Alto, you may find it easier to sing along.

Just As I Am

[Pre-Chorus]

Easy now

The noise grows small

The body knows

[Chorus]

I breathe, I listen

My voice finds its own way

Here I am

Just as I am

I breathe, I listen

And I do not stray

Here I am

Just as I am

(Additional lyrics in this longer version)

The shoulders unclench

Like a door in spring rain

One honest tone

Is enough for a song

[Pre-Chorus]

Easy now

No need to rush

No need to prove

[Chorus]

I breathe, I listen

My voice finds its own way

Here I am

Just as I am

I breathe, I listen

Here I am

Just as I am

(Instrumental interlude)

[Chorus]

I breathe, I listen

My voice finds its own way

I breathe, I listen

And I stay right where I am.

Here I am

Just as I am
