Emma Azelborn 2023
“My friend Penny Gale posted about learning to stay in the moment and be authentic about who you are, and letting things go which are outside your control. Amidst posts about coming out, discovering who you are at any stage of life, and general turmoil in the world, her post was a light of inspiration and hope for me. She ended with these words which evolved into the chorus of Toss the Bones: ‘So toss the bones high. They’ll fall where they fall. I’ll shrug, and dance while they spin. That’s all one can do.'”

You’ve been afraid for far too long So hidden away So scared of a change and what could go wrong Toss the bones high Be steady and small And dance while they spin in the sky They’ll fall where they fall The truth will grow so hard to hide And every time You build on the lies will eat you alive Toss the bones high Be steady and small And dance while they spin in the sky They’ll fall where they fall Your stem could be cut, your leaves could wilt Discarded aside So suddenly dry yet drowning in guilt Toss the bones high Be steady and small And dance while they spin in the sky They’ll fall where they fall But roots could expand so solid and deep Your branches could grow Supported by those whose hearts you keep Toss the bones high Be steady and small And dance while they spin in the sky They’ll fall where they fall Whatever may come your strength will hold Stop hiding away You’re ready for change, go out and be bold Toss the bones high Be steady and small And dance while they spin in the sky They’ll fall where they fall Toss the bones high Be steady and small And dance while they spin in the sky They’ll fall where they fall
