Dreaming by Eki Shola
“Dreaming” is a song about growth and gratitude and is my gift to not only those affected by the 2017 wildfires but for all the strangers, friends, family and community that have supported us and Sonoma County since.

Lyrics
No time to say bye but giving thanks
Trying to find peace of mind
The world spins you around
But don’t let it pull you down
I am who I am and you are who you are
Ashes down on the ground, surround me
When love and connection sets us free
Community together one becomes we
I’m dreaming of a new start
Let light shine from the heart
Sun rises life flows on
Memories healing but never gone
Loss turns to meaning and gain
Resilience can be tough bliss
Rising out of the fire
Sailing through with hope and desire
I’m dreaming of a new start
Let light shine from the heart
Sun rises life flows on
Memories healing but never gone
