Sacred Waters Song by I Am Alice Sounds - Download for FREE

I channelled this song a few days after visiting a sacred temple in Ubud. I feel it captures the essence of living in Bali, and how the Sacred Waters here can support our creativity and healing. 

I later learnt to play this song on guitar, as a way of honouring a friend who was dying. I used the learning of the chords (only 3), strumming and singing each day, as a way to honour my grief, and the feelings I had and the loss of my friend. By using this a process of being in the moment, singing through my heart, it really helped and supported me, for when he eventually died, six months later.

You can listen and see some visuals of the Temple on YouTube @iamalicepodcast

Here are some lyrics of the song:

Take me to a place where I can be free

Take me to a place where I can honour myself 

Take me to a place where I can play, 

Amongst the trees, the river and the breeze

I can swim in the water,
I can sing with my friends,
I can play with the dragonflies,
I can be a butterfly

Chorus: Deep waters, Cool waters, sacred water, sacred waters

Take me to the River, Cool soft water, Take me to the River, I can splash in the water, I can swim with the fish, I can play in the water, Let me sing to the water, I can be myself

Chorus: Deep Waters, Cool Waters, Sacred Water, Sacred Waters

There might be giants, there might be crocodiles, but I see the water, with the light shining through it, the sparkles in the water, the bubbles in the sand, It's shining through my body, it's shining through my soul.

Chorus: Deep waters, Wild waters, Sacred water, Sacred waters

Take me to the water, I wanna be myself, I wanna play in the water, I wanna be in the water, I wanna be One with you, I wanna be One with you, the light shining through me, I can be myself.

Chorus: Deep waters, Wild waters, Sacred water, Sacred waters

Let's meet at the river, Let's build a light of love, Be One with the water, Let's merge with the water, Let's flow with the river, Let's flow with the sea, The Water of Love
