Chapter 1:
Call to Me
Maeley reveals the promise she made her father just before his death — to share their story through music.
Call to Me
I’ve waited years to share with you my inside story
Couldn’t find the words or sing the melody
I’d rather risk and take a fall
It was the stars whose bright lights called to me
And they still call to me
They still call to me
The night still calls to me
Stars still call to me
They say keep fighting for what you dream
And I believe
Since I was young I always knew
I was strange, quite different, that much is true
I preferred books to shopping malls
It was the woods whose voice called to me
And they still call to me
They still call to me
The trees still call to me
Forests call to me
They say we’re dying
And I believe them, I believe
In the silence I find myself
On the ocean shore with no one else
The truth shines through it all
And in my heart, I hear them call
They still call to me
Trees and stars call to me
It’s in them I believe
I made a promise I’d share with you my inside story
