Into a Swan--Ugly Duckling No More!

This song really captures my mood of late. I am completely floored by the changes that have occurred in my life since the publication of As The World Dies: The First Days. The events of the last year have transformed me not only as a writer, but as a person.

Self publishing the As The World Dies trilogy with my husband has been a very positive experience. So as my writing career continues an upward path, I want to say thank you not only to my family and friends, but the readers who have supported the story since it's inception in 2005 online.

What in the world is happening?
What in the world could this be?
I'm on the verge of an awakening
A new kind of strength for me

I feel a force I've never felt before
I don't want to fight it anymore
Feelings so strong can't be ignored
I burst out - I'm transformed

Rising up, shaking it off
The yesterday dreary
Graceful and strong, No more forlorn
Today's a jubilee
Don't be surprised
This change is my design

I feel a force I've never felt before
I don't want to fight it anymore
Feelings so strong can't be ignored
I burst out - I'm transformed

I feel a force I've never felt before
I can't hold it down I've just got to soar
And laugh in the face that is vulture law
I burst out, I'm transformed

I feel a force I've never felt before
I don't want to fight it anymore
Feelings so strong can't be ignored
I burst out - I'm transformed

I feel a force I've never felt before
I can't hold it down I've just got to soar
And laugh in the face that is vulture law
I burst out - I'm transformed
I burst right out - Into a swan
I burst out into a swan
