lyrics

Make Your Way by Wendy Colonna 2022

I always knew the time would come
For you to spread your wings
And soar into the mystery
To chase a distant dream

Your eyes are full of stardust
And your hands are soft and kind
No use in trying to stop you
it’s just a waste of time

So, You must go
Make your way
Hold your heart up to each moment
While you try to keep it safe
Over time I hope you find
The love you’re out there searching for
Has never left your side

You’ll never know how sweet
It’s been to watch you grow
Eyes that weep a million tears
And glow in falling snow

Your voice, just like an angel’s
Sweet as honey, full of light
Like you're singing for salvation
through the longest, darkest night

You must go
Make your way
Hold your heart up to each moment
While you try to keep it safe
Over time I hope you find
The love you’re out there searching for
Has never left your side

Nothing can prepare you for
This world so unforgiving
But you’ve got everything to lose
In hiding out from living

So, You must go
Make your way
Hold your heart up to each moment
While you try to keep it safe
Over time I hope you find
The love you’re out there searching for
Has never left your side

about

Wendy Colonna Austin, Texas

The Austin-American Statesman wrote “Wendy Colonna is not just a singer-songwriter, she’s a force of nature.”

Wendy’s songs tell tales of empowerment, loss, mortality, joy, reclaimed innocence and celebration. Her resonant, signature, grit-infused-honey voice can move from a sweet whisper to a full-on bayou-soul-shout without skipping a beat.

She's a Mama, Musician, Coach & Believer in magic.
