this song came to me at the beach, three weeks after Mom died. I was alone in the ocean, off the coast of Rhode Island, near Blue Shutters Beach. My sister took me there with her family to clear my head and recover a bit from the loss. In the ocean, the power of the water, the sun, the salt water, I felt my Mom was everywhere.

“I KNOW YOU’RE THERE” (8/6/2016)
Music & Lyrics copyright 2017 Annie Lanzillotto
I know you’re there
You were always beside me
I know you’re there
Now you’re inside me
I know you’re there
You were always beside me
I know you’re there
Now you’re inside me
In the whistling wind of trees
I know you’re there
In the butterfly—flapping breeze
I know you’re there
In the nectar on the flower
I know you’re there
In the Queen Bee walkin’ with power
In the birds in the air
I know you’re there
In the wave of my hair
I know you’re there
In rain down from trees
I know you’re there
in the leaves wind in breeze
I know you’re there
In the sun bustin’ through clouds
I know you’re there
in the rainbows talkin so loud
I know you’re there
On the knock on the door
I know you’re there
when your picture falls to the floor
In my dreams guiding me
I know you’re there
In the skyward bend of the tree
Everytime I’m safe when I shouldnt be
I know you’re there
In close calls saving me from injury
I know you’re there
watching all I see
I know you’re there
in the clouds breaking free
When I’m awake at night
I know you’re there
At eleven eleven when I turn on the light
I know you’re there
In the purple lilac breeze
I know you’re there
Shiny pennies down at my feet
I know you’re there
doubles rainbows stretching cross sky
I know you’re there
I don’t need to ask why
I know you’re there
in the rain tappin my shoulder
I know your there
in the mirror as I’m gettin older
I know you’re there
in the stranger being so kind
I know you’re there
out the corner of my eye
of my eye
