Lyrics
Be open for something wonderful to happen
Be open to the possibility (x2)
Aiye Aiye Aiye, Aiye Aiye Aiye (x2)
Be open for something wonderful to happen
Be open to the possibility (x2)
Aiye Aiye Aiye, Aiye Aiye Aiye (x2)
Notes To be open to the possibility of something wonderful happening seems both counter-intuitive in the middle of the pandemic and multiple crises, and also surprisingly comforting and hopeful. And indeed, wonderful things are happening in addition to what's hard and perplexing and dismaying. I love how I feel lighter after singing this -- I wonder how you feel?
Debbie said she wrote this song to help a couple people in her life that were going through difficult times. She says it is a great song to help manifest a dream into being -- you can think of something you want to come into your life and sing that into being, to embody it as you sing and to really see it happening, to call it in for yourself.

I love this song of Debbie’s! We sang it with her & in Lisa Littlebird’s chorus. You fed a wonderful teaching of it!
Oh, I'm so glad! How fabulous to live close to such wonderful songleaders!
It’s amazing that so few and such simple words can be so powerful. A perfect mantra to shift and uplift my mood!
I feel the same.... thanks for putting it into words!
Happy Valentines Day to you, Patricia, and all those breathing through these songs!
Aw. thanks!!!! You, too, Liora!!!

Thank you Patricia. This song and so many of the songs you have shared ( i have tuned in about 5 or so times) help me be with myself in a dramatically simple way. Not an oxymoron... thank you very much for making my solitude so much more agreeable and less lonely.
Sara, thank you so much for writing… I’m so glad you’re finding these songs to be good companions. They are for me, too.
