You can relax now
Come on and open your eyes
Breathe deeply now
I am with you.
Oh my sweet sweet child
Who do you think you are
You are the child of God
And that will never change.

You had a dream
You misunderstood
You thought we were separate
But now you hear my voice and
You can relax now
C’mon and open your eyes
And breathe deeply now
I am with you.
You are the love of my life
You are my one creation
You are eternity
And that will never change.

You had a dream
You misunderstood
You thought we were separate
But now please hear my voice and
You can relax now
Cmon and open your eyes
And breathe deeply now
I am with you.
Oh my sweet sweet child
Who do you think you are
You are the child of God
That will never change.

You are what you are.
You are eternity.
You are divinity.
That can never change.
That has never changed.
Just a dream…open your eyes and breathe.
You are eternity.
You are divinity.
You can relax now…you can.
You are a child of God.
Open your eyes and breathe
You can relax…

Each Holy Child
Music & Lyrics: Shaina Noll

Each child that’s born, a holy child
(Repeat 3 times)
Each child that’s born is a holy child.

So you were born a holy child
Yes you were born a holy child
Yes you were born a holy child
You were born a holy child.

And I was born a holy child
And I was born a holy child
Yes I was born a holy child
I was born a holy child

Holy child, holy child
Each of us, a holy child
Each of us, each of us
A holy child.

Rise up and walk you’re a holy child
(Repeat 3 times)

The angels sing you’re a holy child
(Repeat 3 times)

So you were born a holy child
Yes you were born a holy child
And I was born a holy child
We each were born a holy child.

Holy child, holy child
Each of us, a holy child
Each of us, each of us
A holy child.

The angels sing you’re a holy child
(Repeat 3 times)
The angels sing
They’re caroling, they’re heralding
You’re a holy child…

Each child that’s born is a holy child
Each child that's born, a holy child
Each child that's born is a holy child
So you were born
And I was born
We each were born a holy child...

Each child that's born
Each child, each child that's born...
Holy....

The Power of Letting Go
Lyrics and Music: Chris Spheeris
© 2002 Spirithouse Inc. (ASCAP)

I once was a leaf among leaves on a tree
Where I grew and I shaded the things beneath me.
When the wind blew strong I held the tree tight
When the sun lit the heavens I reached for the light.
And I passed many days without worry or care
Till asleep, I awakened to a change in the air.
And the wind brought a chill
I grew stiff in the cold,
My color turned pale
And my hands wouldn’t hold…
Now a leaf that is free
I spiral and float
To the water below
And I ride like a boat
And I float off to places I never would know
Through the power of letting go.

I once was a wave
I was steady and strong
In the rhythm of ripples I traveled along
And I crossed a great distance that all looked the same
A wave among waves in a place with no name.
Time went by and a shoreline appeared
Whispering of changes and endings I feared
And I couldn’t go back and I wouldn’t go under
So I rode to the sand in the foam and the thunder…
Now a splash from the wave
I dance to the skies
Where the sun makes me vapor
And weightless I rise…
And I’m carried to places I never would know
Through the power of letting go.

The Tree
Music: Gary William Friedman
Lyrics: Will Holt
© Alley Music Corp./ Trio Music Company, Inc.

This man I know
Has an apple tree he’s hoping will grow
Day after day he waits, and what does he see
Not one apple on the tree.

This man I know waits all winter
And the tree will not grow
‘til late in spring with still no fruit to be found
he goes out to chop it down.

Lo and behold
Like a miracle swept in from the sea
Lo and behold there’s a fog so thick
The man can’t see to cut the tree.

Next morning he
All excited he comes running to me
Right there for all to see
Way up on a bough
Small and weak but hanging on somehow
Is a baby apple now.

All Is Well

Come into this forest deep and dark
And walk along the path that’s winding through
Gaze upon each shadow that lies silent
And waiting and watching, watching you.
Although the forest seems so dark and still
Unpenetrated by the smallest light
Soon the path continues up the hill
And opens under starry starry night.
And all is well
And all is right
All is well
There is safety in the starry starry night.

Untie the boat and drift out slip out in the stream
Into the mighty current deep and wide
Up above a storm is gathering
The shore is growing farther from my sight.
Though the river runs so cold and fast
Unchallenged by this tiny boat I row
By and by the rapids all are passed
And there is comfort in the gentle river’s flow.
And all is well
I’m safe and sound
All is well
There is peace upon my river
Homeward bound.

Come into this house so filled with light
And walk among these people here today
Everyone is sharing in this flight
Everyone a traveler on their (the) way.
We reach our destinations (destination) even though
Every journey seems to hold some tears
We look into ourselves to find the strength
If we listen deep inside we just might hear (And when we listen to our hearts we always hear)
That all is well
And all is right all is well
There is healing in the starry starry night.
And all is well
I’m safe and sound
All is well, all is well
There is peace upon my river
Homeward bound.

Silent Night/Each Holy Child Reprise
Silent Night

Silent night, holy night
all is calm, all is bright
On every birthday each mother and child
Each holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Each holy child sleep in peace.

So you were born, a holy child, a holy child
You were born a holy child
Every child is a holy child
On your birthday, a holy child
You were born
You were born holy too…

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
On every birthday each parent and child
Each holy infant is tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Each holy child sleep in peace,
Each holy child live in peace.

Each child that’s born
A holy child
Each child that’s born
Holy….

Dream

Darest thou now oh soul
Walk with me into the unknown regions
Where neither ground is for the feet
Nor any path to follow
All is undreamed of there
All is undreamed of there…

Darest Thou
Darest thou now oh soul
Walk with me
Into the unknown regions
Where neither ground is for your feet
Nor any path to follow
All is undreamed of there
Walk with me
And dream…

Darest thou
Darest thou now oh soul
Walk with me
Into the unknown
No ground is there
For your feet
No path is there
No path to follow
All is undreamed of there
Walk with me into the unknown
Walk with me
And dream…

Darest thou
Darest thou now oh soul
Walk with me
No ground is there
No path is there
No path to follow
All is undreamed of there
Let’s dream…

Into the unknown
Walk with me
Into the unknown
And dream
All is undreamed of there
Walk with me and dream
Darest thou now, oh soul
Darest thou now, oh soul
Dream…
Darest thou now, oh soul?

What People Are Saying About You Can Relax Now

Shaina Noll’s musical talents are an important piece of the beauty of this CD. Her voice is clear, pure, and seems effortless and unforced at all times. The arrangements are wonderful and soothing and relaxing. But to me the most powerful part of this is the spiritual energy and healing love, which infuses every song. Shaina’s CDs are an important and powerful part of my own healing journey. As with so many people, I find myself often struggling with fears and doubts. "You Can Relax Now" is perfect for those times, offering what I experience as lullabies for adults, powerful because there is nothing artificial or inauthentic in them, but they are straight from Shaina’s heart. At times they contradict the old recordings so exactly that many healing tears come. At other times I simply remember to breathe again, more deeply. When I need to, I can imagine myself curled up in her lap, being sheltered from the storms of life. The qualities of unself-conscious, un-held-back genuine tenderness and love and reassurance expressed in these CDs are quite rare in my experience. They could only have come from her dwelling in the truth she sings. She sings as if there is no one to impress, no one to convince, no one watching and judging, just a pure offering of love. What a precious gift! Janet Mather ExerciseReminders.com
"Soul Stirring melodies and equally emotional lyrics grace You Can Relax Now from vocalist/musician Shaina Noll. Designed with the goal of imparting inspiration and tranquility to the listener, some of these songs are story-based, others offer a quiet chant -- in each case the central message is peace, and it's communicated very powerfully. The beautiful 'Each Holy Child' is a great example of this, blending gentle piano melodies with spiritually soothing lyrics sung in her crystalline voice. Other memorable tracks include 'The Power Of Letting Go' based on a Chris Spheeris song, and the sublime 'Angels Watching Over Me'. --Music Design In Review, November/ December 2002 Issue Music Design is a distributor supplying retail stores and healing centers around the world. If you are in wholesale pricing for Shaina's music, visit their website at www.musicdesign.com.	"The CD "You Can Relax Now" invites its listeners to slow down, and allow themselves to be soothed by Shaina Noll's angelic, nurturing voice and gentle, contemplative music. Shaina accompanies herself artfully both on piano and with rich harmonizing vocals, and is supported by other talented musicians as she weaves together storytelling and chants offering the message that 'All Is Divine'. This spiritually inspired and eloquently soulful CD has a clarity and simplicity which, while very relaxing, is also deeply moving. I particularly like listening to it in my art studio, where it helps me sink into a quiet place in myself that supports creative inspiration and expression. I highly recommend this beautiful CD as the holidays approach. Its serenity and affirmation of the Divine in each of us, is a welcome alternative to traditional seasonal music." Laura Ellis, www.lauraellisart.com
"The words, the tributes and the artwork are all beautiful and perfect! May we all embrace and embody the message you are sending that we are Divine. It is truly reassuring and healing that we can relax..." Rev. Phil Brather Minister, Counselor, Writer and Teacher Greenville, South Carolina	The CD is a real gift of relaxation and remembrance. Ed Graham, Santa Rosa, California
	"I just love it, play it over and over. Shaina's voice has never been more compelling, and it is an extra treat to recognize Richard's, as well! Impossible to pick a favorite track." Stephen Mo Hanan, New York City
"You Can Relax Now took my breath away when I first heard it, and each replay continues to touch me in a very deep and powerful way. What Shaina and her husband Richard have given birth to reflects the concept that we really can relax, in spite of what we see happening in the external world. The foundations of the world we knew were profoundly shaken over the past year. I personally think it's for the better. Many people are seeing the Universe in a new way, with greater trust and assurance that all is well. I hope you will find this CD as soul-affirming as I have." Darrell Jones, Starburst Wellness Resources	"I feel like I could heal my wounded soul just by listening to this CD over and over again. The piano prelude of Angels Watching Over Me bought tears to my eyes, allowing me to feel the transition from fear to trust. The Tree reminds me that even when we may believe something is not possible, we are often shown the way, in ways we would never imagine. Be Still and Know/Sunrise is Here brings forth a meditative energy that is uplifting and evokes a feeling of deep spirituality. The power of the lyrics are magnified by Shaina's angelic voice." Di Carey, DC, Santa Fe, New Mexico
You Can Relax Now - The third CD from New Mexico's Shaina Noll again includes a variety of well-loved and original pieces that bring respite and solace to tender hearts and spirits everywhere. Her previous Songs for the Inner Child remains a classic release, as does her follow-up Bread for the Journey. With You Can Relax Now, it is time to take her message literally and let go, surrender, and receive the beautiful words of this collection of meaningful, simple songs. Lloyd Barde, Backroads Music

You Can Relax Now Cover Art

The image on the cover is called "Tranquil". The original is an oil pastel that was done by my dear friend, Laura Ellis. Laura was one of the few people that was involved with this new collection of songs from the very beginning of my work on the project. She was of great support and encouragement as I was developing the songs, and gave some significant input as we were doing our refining at the end of the process. She made this beautiful painting just as I was beginning my search for cover images. I knew the moment I saw it that it was just right for the cover of You Can Relax Now. Given our heartfelt friendship, along with her intimate connection to the project, I was thrilled that Laura was the one to create the perfect image for the cover.
