I wrote this as a song of encouragement or support at any kind of threshold. On its way into the TCI repertoire, this song debuted at a retreat for LGBTQ asylum seekers from Latin America and then at San Quentin Prison, which literally is located at a place “where the ocean meets the sand.”

Lyrics
Where the ocean meets the sand,
Here we stand with you.
Where the daylight meets the stars,
Here we are with you.
In this place beyond dreams
Only love is what it seems.
Open heart, open hands,
Here we stand with you.
Translation
Lyrics Translation:
Aquí estamos para ti
Donde la tierra toca al mar
Y las estrellas al amanecer
Aquí estamos para ti.
Más allá de la ilusíon,
El amor es la verdad.
Corazones abiertos,
Aquí estamos para ti.
