From the recording True
MIRABELLE
Inspired by the Mirabal sisters of the Dominican Republic, Mirabelle is a song about truth, courage and the cost of speaking out. A finalist in both Folk/Americana/Roots Song and Best Group/Duo at the International Acoustic Music Awards, it was also called “another gem” for its emotional resonance.
Lyrics
MIRABELLE
You seem to know me well
You came into my dreams
Like a faint melody
Played on the edge angel wings
And only, you know why
that you chose me
To share you’re, herstory (It’s) in the heart of this song your spark lives on and on
MIRABELLE
Our lives are parallel
You’re really, every girl
Hoping to find her way
Before all her dreams fade away
And now I feel, that I must speak this truth
I do believe in you
Oh, your light was dimmed for good
So misunderstood
CHORUS:
They hushed your voice
I have no choice
But to speak your name,
Mirabelle
Your story’s told
Finally made whole
May it free your soul
Mirabelle
MIRABELLE
This life’s mercurial
Oh, it’s a grand carosel
A timeless round and round
A celestial lost and found
And, there’s so much that,
You’ve shown me
That truth is, always free
An act of bravery
Live life fearlessly
Repeat chorus
