Lyrics

[INTRO ]
I love to shine.
Strike the sky.
Goldfinch survived.
I love to shine.

[CHORUS]
Not afraid of who I am.
Goldfinch glow.
Watch Goldfinch go.
Not afraid of who I am.
Goldfinch glow.
Really quite striking.
Gone swift.
Tiny yellow lightning.
Goldfinch.
(Goldfinch.)

[VERSE ]
I move when it’s right.
Skylines ignite—
Follow the gold line.
I’m the shine.
[pause]
Blink-and-miss me.
Quick lift, no lingering.
Refine the resign—
I go my way this time.

[BRIDGE ]
My world meets me moving.
I am safe to be seen—
Glowing.
My light is welcome here.
Momentum knows me.
I have nothing to fear.

[OUTRO ]
Goldfinch glow.
I’ll see you again.
Light knows where to land.
Feels good here. I come again.
Follow ease—
Goldfinch glow.

About the Song

“Goldfinch” is about letting yourself shine.

I’m learning how to stay open when things feel good. When joy starts moving and my first instinct is to pull back, get quiet, or make myself smaller.

A lot of what helped me here came from teachers who weren’t afraid to share what worked for them. Louise Hay taught me that kindness toward the self changes the body. Abraham Hicks taught me that joy is a signal, not something to argue with. Bashar’s reminder keeps ringing in my ears: if you have something to offer and you don’t share it, that helps no one. Crowley taught me that will moves through action, not hiding. Dr. Michael Greger changed my life by putting his work out there, clearly and generously.

If they had stayed quiet, my life would look very different.

This song is me practicing the same thing — letting what’s alive in me be visible. Not to teach. Not to prove anything. Just to share in-case anyone else sees themselves in my work.

Goldfinch doesn’t ask if she’s too bright. She goes.

What This Song Teaches the Body

In this song, Goldfinch shows up as safe visibility.

It teaches:

• how to let light move without bracing

• how to stay in motion instead of shrinking

• how to be seen without performance

Somatic / Nervous-System Layer

My shoulders want to rise. My breath wants to pause. There’s a reflex that says, careful now.

Louise Hay helped me see that the body tightens when it thinks it has to earn safety. That shrinking isn’t a flaw — it’s a habit that learned how to protect me.

Lines like “Not afraid of who I am” work on the body before they work on the mind. Saying them loosens my chest. Movement returns. Warmth spreads instead of locking down.

This song is me teaching my body something new: brightness doesn’t hurt me. Letting light move feels good. Glow can pass through without bracing. I am safe to be seen.

Why This Song Sits Where It Does

This song appears after Flamingo because balance and play have already come online. The body has learned how to move without threat.

This track marks the shift from play → confidence, from movement → visibility. Joy sharpens into clarity. Motion becomes unmistakable.

Quiet Lineage Notes (for the curious)

Some of the undercurrents in this song were shaped by teachers I carry with me.

• Louise Hay — especially her work around self-acceptance and allowing the body to feel safe while being seen

• Abraham Hicks — particularly teachings around momentum, ease, and alignment carrying itself forward

These are influences, not instructions. I hold them as companions while translating what I can hold into sound.

Closing Whisper

Goldfinch’s whisper says: light belongs where ease leads. Follow the gold line.
