In Greek mythology, dryads are bound to their tree until death. In this song, the dryad is unbound from her tree and achieved immortality. It’s about unbinding ourselves from self limiting beliefs and transcending what we are told we are and can become by society.
My roots are planted firmly in the ground.
Awakened from my slumber,
I’m spellbound,
I’m spellbound you know it,
I’m spellbound I show it
Locked in the magic, I’m found
I’ve been waiting so long
New life has come and gone;
Now returning.
My leaves are young again and free
Dancing in the wind
But my heart’s ancient
This magic is flowing out of me
I’m revived
Flowing out of me
I’m alive
Exhilaration
and no limitation
I’m free to live my heart
All is enchanted, right now
Photosynthesizing,
I’m realizing
Yes, I’m forever untethered
Grateful
I’m free to live now.
All the world I can explore
If I want
I’ve never danced like this before
My ivy heart is green and new
A soft dryad’s song
I sing to you
