about

Naomi LaViolette's song "Come to the Water" is a compelling blend of inspirational songwriting, classical composition, and electronic sound layering.

The song was originally commissioned for a corporate business retreat. Its powerful message has continued to reach listeners, inspiring people to reflect, center themselves, and find peace in nature. After much encouragement from fans, Naomi now offers it as a single.

lyrics

So many circles you’ve been running
With all your little fires burning
You’re racing to put them out
You’re looking for an escape
Eluded by the peace you crave
Fighting your doubt

Come to the water
Today is a search for you

You see the forest in symmetry
Standing tall, reflecting free, with nothing to prove
Looking down what will you see
So what if you were like a tree
With nothing to lose?

Come to the water
Today is a search for you
Drink of the stillness
Let your eyes fall into the blue

We all approach carefully
Removing our disguises
The shore will hold you
All unsure of who we will see
Our own surprises
The shore will hold you

So give into transparency
And let it ripple into clarity
Where circles only dissipate
No it’s not too late
