From the recording Heart And Soul
Heart and Soul (The Dance of the Universe)
'Heart and Soul' is a song about remembrance. It was created not just as a performance but as an invitation, an invitation to reconnect with the quiet truth that you have always belonged to.
This song touches on the space beneath striving and self-judgment, where life is no longer something to pass or prove, but something to move with. From its first whispered breath, “Rise, my beautiful child”, Heart and Soul creates a sacred space where the listener is welcomed just as they are. There is no fixing here, no becoming worthy. There is only the gentle realization that grace has been present all along.
Musically, the song unfolds like a gentle awakening. Acoustic guitar and piano set an intimate foundation, while strings, pedal steel, and choir gradually build, reflecting the soul’s own memory. A subtle 528 Hz harmonic layer supports the experience beneath the surface, inviting the body to relax, soften, and receive. This is a song meant to be felt as much as heard.
Spiritually, “Heart and Soul” embodies the essence of the messages we share as Mary’s Spirit Walkers: that the body is sacred ground, that the heart is never truly broken, and that love has never abandoned us. The song reflects the wisdom of Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene, not as distant figures, but as living presences, reminding us that we were never banished from our true home.
Heart and Soul is a prayer you can walk with. A meditation you can breathe with. A dance you can enter with your whole being. As you listen, may you feel what the song offers: not answers, but belonging; not instruction, but remembrance; not distance from God, but intimacy with life itself.
Welcome home.
Lyrics
HEART AND SOUL (THE DANCE OF THE UNIVERSE)
[Intro] (Spoken or Sung, Intimate, Breath Close)
Heart and soul…
Didn’t know I’d found my place.
Heart and soul…
Heart and soul…
Rise, my beautiful child.
[Verse 1], Awakening (Sparse, Intimate)
I woke up breathing borrowed light,
Feet on holy ground tonight.
Didn’t know this life was grace,
Every step I ever made
Was a doorway I delayed,
But the garden knew my name
Long before I ever came.
[Pre-Chorus 1], Invitation
There’s a voice inside my chest
Saying, You were always blessed
This moment isn’t passing by,
It’s calling me to rise.
[Chorus, Heart & Soul] (Open, Expansive)
Heart and soul, heart and soul,
Hear the music, feel it roll.
This life is a dance, not a test,
I was born into the yes.
Heart and soul, heart and soul,
Every breath makes heaven whole.
Sing it loud, sing it true,
The song of God is moving through you.
[Verse 2, The Real You ](Warm, Grounded)
Who am I beneath the noise?
Beneath the fear, beneath the choice?
Not the weight I learned to wear,
Not the masks I learned in prayer.
I am more than flesh and bone,
More than walking here alone.
I am love with skin and eyes,
An echo learning how to rise.
]Pre-Chorus 2, Identity]
I’m the first breath ever drawn,
I’m the dusk and I’m the dawn.
I’m the question and the flame,
Every voice that sings one name.
[Chorus, Expanded]
Heart and soul, heart and soul,
I remember, I am whole.
I’m not broken, I’m not lost,
I’m the song before the cross.
Heart and soul, heart and soul,
I was never exiled home.
I am Adam, I am Eve,
I am everything I believe.
[Verse 3, Perfect Presence] (Lower, Reverent)
There’s no place love hasn’t been,
No divide that’s ever real.
Every wall I thought I saw
Was a shadow learning awe.
I laid down the old disguise,
Crucified the alibi.
What I feared was standing in
Was the doorway back again.
[Bridge, Union] (Symphonic Lift Begins)
There is only All That Is
Breathing through my broken myths.
No separation, no disguise,
Only love behind my eyes.
This body isn’t in the way,
It’s the altar where I stay.
Every scar, every sigh
Is where heaven learned to cry.
(Choir enters softly on “Ah” or “Love…”)
[Verse 4, Surrender & Co-Creation] (Rhythm Builds)
I let go of steering lines,
Let the river choose its time.
Every turn that felt like chance
Was the start of a divine dance.
Every nudge, every call
Wasn’t random after all.
I was never left behind,
I was walking hand in kind.
[Pre-Chorus 3 , Participation]
Every moment, every sign
Was the song keeping me in time.
When I listen, when I trust,
Life moves with me, not against us.
[Chorus, Co-Creation] (Full Band)
Heart and soul, heart and soul,
I surrender, I’m in flow.
Serendipity and grace
Spin creation into place.
Heart and soul, heart and soul,
I’m a voice inside the whole.
I don’t chase, I don’t prove,
I let the music move me through.
[Verse 5, One Love] (Warm, Radiant)
Love said, Come and walk with Me,
You’re the light you’re meant to see.
Every step becomes a prayer,
Every breath, a blessing shared.
From the grain of sand below
To the stars we’ll never know,
Every shape and every name
Is one fire, one flame.
[Final Chorus, The Dance of the Universe] (Anthemic)
Heart and soul, heart and soul,
We are one love, one light, one role.
Every step we take as one
Blesses earth and sky and sun.
Heart and soul, heart and soul,
This is where I’ve always known:
I don’t stand outside the plan,
I am the garden where I stand.
[Outro, Dwelling Place] (Quiet Return, Spoken/Sung)
I love the ground beneath my feet.
I love this body where we meet.
I was never cast away,
I’ve been home along the way.
Heart and soul…
Heart and soul…
