Story Behind The Song
Sonya was inspired by the prompt word "Time," It triggered a cascade of thoughts, memories and deep connection to her family tree. In writing Timeless Time, she came to understand the power of oral history, and the joy of tapping into an eternal consciousness, way beyond herself.
Song Description
We have all walked the same ground and breathed the very air of our ancestors. In that way, even our short time on this earth and all who follow are eternally connected.
Sonya's signature guitar work, her atmospheric vocal, regal English and French horns evoke the mysteries and beauty of continuity. Hence...timeless time.

Lyrics
Verse
ancestors come alive
thru me with me
they have taken breath
in this very place
their stories preserved
told thru your
sweet and mournful sound
of loves and losses
children born and grown
souls in waiting
whisper from beyond
I shall come to be your teacher
and you shall come to know my song
Chorus
Skin and bone shall fall away
all you long for washed away
in the book of ages
yours is but a single page
In Timeless time
Verse
caverns echo
whistle in the wind
do you hear them call
to sit beside your clan
where hands have touched
what you have touched
and all have walked
where you have walked
take your place
for all you've come to learn
then take your leave
and here you will return
where hands have touched
what you have touched
and all have walked
where you have walked
Chorus
Skin and bone shall fall away
all you long for washed away
in the book of ages
yours is but a single page
In timeless time
In timeless time
in timeless time
