Angels at Your Door – A peaceful, dreamed song for healing from the album Soul to Soul
Angels at Your Door
Music/Lyrics by Elaine Lucia
You can make the journey from shipwreck to shore
Under Their gaze as you make your way back to the
Angels at Your Door
You can see more clearly than ever before
The Light that They share will guide you there back to the
Angels at Your Door
You there on your island, you’re all out at sea
Trying to get back to all you had to leave behind
They’ve always been with you
You’ve never been alone,
You’ve never been alone
You’re not alone now.
You up on your mountain, just trying to hold on
Take a look behind you, that’s a long way down
They’ve always been with you
You didn’t do this on your own, You couldn’t do this on your own
You’re not on your own now.
Don’t wait for the tide to rise or the sea to change
You can be the change
You can do this
You can do this
You can make the journey from shipwreck to shore
Under Their gaze as you make your way back to the
Angels at Your Door
You can see more clearly than ever before
The Light that They share will guide you there back to the
Angels at Your Door
From shipwreck to shore under Their gaze
“Angels at Your Door” is a song that grew from a very vivid dream I had immediately after the 2017 Tubbs Fire in Santa Rosa, California. The wildfire was absolutely devastating for thousands of people who had lost their homes, their jobs, and even loved ones. At the time, I was working for a home-building company. After the fires, I became the point of contact for hundreds of families who had lost everything and were hoping to rebuild their homes. After months of taking these calls, I had this dream one night:
I dreamed of an old, wooden ship drifting in the ocean, carrying people who had lost everything. The ship was on fire and sinking. In the distance, on the shore, was a rustic cabin or cottage. Beside it was a towering, radiant beam of light that reached into the dark, starry night sky. This light was pure, beautiful, and alive, though it had no form or shape, no wings. I was observing the dream and had the distinct thought: this is an Angel. Guiding the people on the ship toward safety, comfort, and solace.
My thoughts described the scene, and became the lyrics:
“You can make the journey from shipwreck to shore,
under Their gaze as you make your way,
back to the Angels at your door.
You can see more clearly than ever before;
the Light that They share will guide you there,
back to the Angels at your door.”
You’ve never been alone. You’re not alone now.
I had the realization that the Angel was there for me, as well. I had a feeling from that Light that there was a message it was conveying, a reminder; I felt these lyrics in my heart:
“They’ve always been with you. You’ve never been alone. You’re not alone now.”
This message is the soul of the song. It was so comforting to me. I knew that the dream and the song had been given to me, like a gift. And of course I had to record it and pass it on.
I hope you like it and I really hope it lifts your heart. Even if you don’t believe in actual Angels, we all do carry a Light inside us…maybe that is your inner guiding Light, your Higher Self, your better Angel…or maybe it’s a Light Being sent to us from a higher realm. Only you know for sure.
You are a Lighthouse.
We would encourage you to see yourself as a lighthouse. The lighthouse lights its lamp and keeps its windows transparent. It gives to that lamp the power to turn in endless circles, so that those coming in from the open water may see the rocks and avoid them and come to a safe harbor. A spiritual lighthouse has its own kind of light and when you become aware of the power of your beingness, you may, if you wish, consciously become that kind of lighthouse that radiates love and light into the spiritual space around you.
All the speaking that you might do is not one-thousandth as powerful as the focus of your very nature when it is focused upon unconditional love. Let your answer to fear be an openhearted, sunny, carefree, joyous, confident feeling of love and rightness. Develop that environment within yourself: lightening up, looking for the laughter, looking for the fun.
And although the world may seem to wag on as before, no better and no worse, do not be deceived. What you do within the precincts of your own sacred heart and mind affects your world. Please know, my sister, that people by the millions are asking these questions, coming to this same kind of conclusion and taking up the power that is theirs by spiritual birthright.
