12 Oct All is Well
This song came from a desire to sing words I wish to hear and feel more often. I often seek a deeper solace and remembering of life’s safety and wellness, inside a world that so often feels so far from well.

Lyrics
Chorus: All is well (x4)
All is so well, our bones are made from ancient stars
All is so well, the sky sings how small we are
All is so well, the wheel keeps turning
All is so well, this dream’s for learning
Chorus
All is so well, the ocean holds her silent deep
All is so well, her living water secrets keep
All is so well, the earth draws us sweetly down
All is so well, she holds you now
Chorus
Bridge:
From the spring grows the root of a blossom blooming
From the fallen flower comes a vital fruiting
From the eating comes a body growing
From the death of the body is born a knowing
Chorus
All is so well, a kindness can restore a will
All is so well, our tears become the soil we till
All is so well, we garden here so many lives
All is so well, help arrives
Chorus
Teaching Notes
In this arrangement, a soloist sings all the verses and the choir sings the chorus and bridge. The chorus melody is simple enough to sing with almost no teaching time so an audience can be immediately invited in. The two harmonies in the chorus of this arrangement are both relatively high so I placed them both in the soprano. They are somewhat unusual in tonality and take a little teaching time. The bridge is sung by everyone in unison but it is wordy and fast!
Level of teaching speed/ difficulty (1 = very easy, 10 = very challenging)
