Dancing on the Edge - Original Song written & performed by Niikah Hatfield on Presque Isle, Marquette Michigan. NPR Tiny Desk Contest Submission, 2023
Lyrics:
When you're scared and weary of the world
Spinning at your feet
Take the hand that extends
From where land and sky do meet
When the bird across the water
Is calling out your name
Take your truth, babe
And wear it with no shame
Rain falls like a river
Burning in my mind
Washing me clean, babe
Into the great blue sky
Walking in the places where the veil is thin
Dancing on the edge of everything
When you dream of all you know
Take this life and let it go
When the bird across the water
Is calling out your name
Take your truth, babe
And wear it with no shame

    Thank you, it was a vision that turned out to be better than I expected. I've always played music outside, so it was fun to make a piece that captured that!
