From the recordings Flower Time and FLOWER TIME
Rumi, a 12th century Sufi poet, said: “Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right- doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about." I wrote this song with Grammy winner Lynn Langham. It's a song of forgiveness for my estranged sister.

Lyrics
I’LL MEET YOU THERE
If I told you I was sorry
Would it make difference now?
Are you still so deeply wounded
Is your sorrow still that strong?
Does the anger still protect you
From the things we’ve said and done?
Is the blame you laid against me
Still the wall your leaning on?
I’m looking for a way,
Looking for a sign,
Searching for a place we can find,
A place beyond Right and wrong,
I’ll meet you there.
If we had it to do over,
Ah, but what’s the use in that,
When there’s nothin’ gonna change things
Locked forever in the past,
But I’d like to think that maybe
There’s a door that opens wide,
With the promise of forgiveness
Waiting on the other side.
I’m looking for a way,
Looking for a sign,
Searching for a place we can find,
A place beyond Right and wrong,
I’ll meet you there
In a place beyond right and wrong
I’ll meet you there
I’ll meet you there
I’ll meet you there.
