about

A triumphant song about overcoming obstacles and finding a way to transform our ordinary talents (straw)by spinning them into gold ourselves regardless of what the world tells us we're capable of.

lyrics

They said to risk my dreams would take too much
A voice inside agreed, “You’re not enough.”
Your wounded place is just too deep to heal
You might as well just keep on spinning wheels

Out from the rubble something wants to rise
Wants me to be the author of my life
There’s treasure somewhere underneath it all
There’s wisdom in the story of my fall

Spinning wheel, spinning wheel, from my fibers draw
My attention to the ways I’ve spun my gold to straw
Spinning wheel, spin again the power that I hold
To learn what’s true, to learn how to spin my straw to gold
Spin my straw to gold
Spinning wheel, spinning wheel

They said I’d lost the power to decide
Life’s a carousel and we just ride
The painted ponies never become real
Circling around the spinning wheel

Down in my depths, there’s truth I long to say
It’s not the world outside that’s ever in my way
I’ve got the strength to push off of this floor
My life will thrive when I dare to be more

Spinning wheel, spinning wheel, from my fibers draw
My attention to the ways I’ve spun my gold to straw
Spinning wheel, spin again the power that I hold
To learn what’s true, to learn how to spin my straw to gold

Spin my straw to gold
Find my holy grail
Spin my straw to gold
In a brand new fairy tale

Spinning wheel, spinning wheel, from my fibers draw
My attention to the ways I’ve spun my gold to straw
Spinning wheel, spin again the power that I hold
To learn what’s true, to learn how to spin my straw to gold
Spin my straw to gold, (spinning wheel, spinning wheel)
Spin again the power that I hold, (spinning wheel, spinning wheel)
Spin my straw to gold, (spinning wheel, spinning wheel)
Spin again the power that I hold, (spinning wheel, spinning wheel)
Spin my straw to gold
