The outcome is an album that represents the multiple facets of Cindy’s life as a wife, mother, and storyteller. “One of the greatest things in my life is being a mother to my two girls, Olivia and Savannah. I love seeing the world through their eyes; they teach me so much everyday and, of course, they inspire me.
Song Snapshots
‘Lay Me Down’
‘Lay Me Down’ starts off the record. “I wrote this song with my good friend and soul man Phil Madiera.” The music was inspired by the music from ‘O Brother Where Art Thou’ and came to her while gardening. “I was at our home in Canada, digging in the dirt and had my shovel out trying to break through this huge rock. I started singing this lyric based on a Psalm, Oh lay me down in your green pastures.”
‘The Sun Shines Through’
“This song like many was inspired by a few people in my life… all true stories of how we are sometimes handed a hard road and we wonder how we’ll make it through. It is so good to know that God will not leave us or forsake us, but bring about to completion the good work which He has started in us”.
Morgan has intentionally released few details about this record, preferring to keep it under wraps until just before the release date. In keeping with this path she has also decided to brave the digital frontier, releasing ‘Beautiful Bird’ exclusively in digital format through her website (cindymorganmusic.com) and iTunes, as well as, other hand picked online outlets. “The wonderful thing about doing a record like this is that you throw the rule book out the window… it really sets the creative spirit free to let each song, and the record as a whole, be what it is without boundaries that often squash the creative process.”
This record is a mix of all the musical styles Morgan has been a fan of. “It is a mix of Pop, Appalachia, Country, and Symphonic. I can’t choose the cello over the doboro so I wanted to make a record where they could live together. I am also a great admirer and pursuer of the art of writing a great country song and many of the lyrics are from that approach.” Morgan, who is a dynamic vocalist and pianist, has added to her musical quiver, the lap dulcimer. “I have written on the piano for so many years, it was great writing on different instruments. This really brings about different melodies and character of songwriting… I play the dulcimer and a little guitar.”
A songwriter's songwriter, Morgan has garnered eighteen number one hits that include ‘Listen’, ‘Praise the King’, ‘Take my life’, and ‘I Know You’; as well as Point of Grace’s recent hit ‘How You Live’. Morgan has garnered several Dove Awards and Billboard Music Video Award nominations. Her songs have been recorded by luminaries such as Michael W. Smith, Point Of Grace, Avalon, Rachael Lampa, Brit Nicole, Mandisa, The Martins, Michael English, BeBe
Winans, Sandi Patty, Jaci Velasquez, Mark Schultz, John Tesh, and Natalie Grant.
“A few years ago, I decided it was time for a rest from the road and take more seriously my desire to become a better songwriter. I decided of all places, to do this in Los Angeles. Along with my husband and our then one year old daughter, we headed to our little apartment in Burbank, California.” In Burbank, Morgan worked as a full-time songwriter in the Christian, pop, and country genres, crafting hits including Christy "It was so great to be around people who were not necessarily Christians because I recognized that their search goes on earnestly, and I felt so blessed that I knew what I believed and that I felt truth in that
belief."
Eventually, the family returned to Nashville and bought a house where they still make their home six months of the year. In this jambalaya of settings, Morgan engaged in a journey toward new self-discovery. She stretched as a wife and mother, and matured as a woman and musician. First and foremost, she drank deeply from a spiritual well and grew stronger in her faith. “Everyday is a new journey for me...I think we just keep on struggling and walking toward the path that God has set before us. I am so thankful to be here and to have a wonderful husband and two healthy children. I am so happy that I know Jesus and that He knows me and hears the prayers of my heart. I pray that whatever gifts he has given me, that I make the most of these gifts…never letting anything stand in the way of making manifest the wonderful goodness of God and the good news of what He has done for us.”
Someone Believes In You
Cindy Morgan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But the shoes just wouldn't fit
Thought about being an actress
But someone told her she lacked the wit
She would have loved to have been a Mrs.
But she was broken in the fall
And now she's finding it hard to be anything at all
But the money just wasn't there
Thought about taking up baseball
But couldn't find a glove he could wear
And he wanted to be like daddy
But Dad was never there
And now the truth is so hard
'Cause the truth is he doesn't care
Oh, don't you know
Someone believes in you
No matter who you are
No matter what you do
Oh, don't you know
Whatever you're going through
He's got His eye on you
Better believe it's true
Someone believes in you
Dreams are not forgotten by the night
Love is not forsaken by what's right
He always wanted to be a writer
But he had a family instead
Years of the daily struggles
So much he wishes he could have said
He gave up his dreams of music
So our dreams could come true
But when the kids are all grown
What is there left to do
Oh, don't you know
Someone believes in you
No matter who you are
No matter what you do
Oh, don't you know
Whatever you're going through
He's got His eye on you
Better believe it's true
Someone believes in you
No matter what you do
Better believe it's true
Someone believes in you
Cindy Morgan's song "Someone Believes In You" is a touching and inspiring song about believing in yourself, even when life feels hard and your dreams seem unattainable. The song tells the stories of three people who all had dreams they wanted to pursue but faced challenges and obstacles along the way. The first verse is about a woman who wanted to be a dancer or an actress, but was discouraged by others and eventually lost her confidence. The second verse is about a man who wanted to be a doctor or a baseball player, but struggled with financial limitations and family issues. The third verse is about a man who gave up his dreams of being a writer to support his family, but now wonders what his purpose is now that his children are grown up.
Despite their setbacks, the chorus reminds each of these people and the listener that "someone believes in you," no matter who you are or what you do. The song offers hope and encouragement, reminding us that we are not alone and that there is always someone who sees our potential and supports us in our dreams.
This song is a powerful reminder that everyone struggles with doubts and fears at some point in their lives, but that we are not defined by our failures or setbacks. Instead, we are defined by the love and support of the people around us, and by the strength we find within ourselves to keep pursuing our dreams, no matter what challenges we may face.
