Song Replenish
Music & Words by Elisa S. Keeler
Composed in​ 2020

Lyrics

Drink in the healing waters, bathe in the pure sunlight/moonlight. (2x)

Replenish your body, replenish your soul, Breathe in light/peace and be made whole.

Drink in the healing waters, bathe in the pure sunlight/moonlight.

Ba doonga doom, doom (3x)
Ba doonga doom.

Notes I love the way songsharers around the country during the pandemic dug into music as a way of healing, comforting, hoping. So much new music came out of this time that helps us uncover the wellness that's already there, inside us. Now you might think those songs would all at tempo=comfort, or heartbeat pulse, or something else that soon feels trite. But this song, for instance, has a driving urgency as well as the sense of smiling just a bit, which feels fresh to me... and as it is unexpected, I can hear the message in a new way.
