🎵Songwriters, this one’s for you. 🎶

Those of you that have a desire to lead community based songwriting workshops: Ever sat across from someone sharing their story and felt that flicker of “…am I doing this right?” You’re not alone — and that’s exactly why we created this training.

Our Therapeutic Songwriting Training for Songwriters is designed to help you show up for vulnerable communities with more care, more awareness, and more confidence. You’ll learn what it means to be trauma-informed in the room — how to hold space, when to lean in, when to step back — and you’ll also get curious about your own tendencies as a writer and collaborator. Because the more you understand yourself, the safer you can make the space for someone else.

This isn’t about becoming a therapist. It’s about becoming a more grounded, intentional songwriter who can walk alongside people through some of their hardest — and most healing — stories.

If you’ve ever wanted to bring your gift into community spaces, hospitals, recovery programs, or anywhere people are healing through story and song, this training is your next step.

For the last few months we have been working with Youth Villages in Nashville, TN. Our songwriters have written with the high school and middle school boys, and most recently, the young adults of the LifeSet program.
At today’s graduation program at Church Of The City , songwriters Kyshona (Kuh•shaun•uh) & Shannon LaBrie sang the song “Rain-bow” written by the LifeSet youth for the graduates.

“Rain-Bow”
Lyrics by Jasper, Aniya, Paulina, Luna Timeless

VERSE ONE
When I was young
I was going through things
Was doing bad stuff
Trying to numb the pain

the stars in the sky
There’s a bigger story
In my wounds and my scars
I know I will overcome

PRE-CHORUS
And I can’t help but feel
I have a purpose
Because I made it this far
I push through the pain

CHORUS
It’ll be alright, I’ll survive
You know you can’t have a rainbow without the rain
It’ll be alright, I’ll survive
You know can’t have a rainbow without the rain

VERSE TWO
There’s a promise
Made to us
No matter how broken & flawed
We are loved

PRE-CHORUS
And I’m proud that I’m growing up
Getting through the pain
And I made it through my mistakes
And made it through the rain

CHORUS
It’ll be alright, I’ll survive
You know you can’t have a rainbow without the rain
It’ll be alright, I’ll survive
You know can’t have a rainbow without the rain

BRIDGE
They don’t know what I know
I’ve been breathing slow
Taking my time
on this long long road

CHORUS
You’re gonna be alright, you’ll survive
You know you can’t have a rainbow without the rain
Breath and close your eyes, you can cry
Cause you can’t have a rainbow without the rain
You will be alright, you will thrive
You know can’t have a rainbow without the rain

These past two months Your Song has been doing deep work in community with women- journaling, songwriting, singing and laughing. Here is a snippet of a song from our second day at The Ohio Reformatory for Women with and songwriting partner,

“Time to Be Seen” by ORW
The outsider on the sidelines
I give up before I start(ed)
Surrounded by many
never truly finding peace

Trying to keep it all together
what needs to fall apart
skies change from the darkness
a spark of light ignites in me

Chorus:
Now I see I am a warrior
The good the bad the in between.
It’s time to be seen. I am here.
There’s a bigger picture meant for me

Verse:
I am overcoming
a path of healing and forgiveness
push me away, it’s okay
you will come and find me someday
guilty in the midst of
gratefulness..
Life ain’t easy
Gotta give it all ya got

Chorus:
Now I see I am a warrior
The good the bad the in between.
It’s time to be seen. I am here.
There’s a bigger picture meant for me

Bridge:
I’m the one to break the chains
A good life, a fresh start
Prisons and death are
no longer my way out

Couldn’t do it on my own
Where I’m going is unknown
only God knows
And I know I’m not alone

These past two months Your Song has been doing deep work in community with women- journaling, songwriting, singing and laughing. Here is a snippet of a song from our first day at The Ohio Reformatory for Women with Kyshona and songwriting partner,

“It’s Time”
by the Goddesses of Time

I’m from tears of bitter disappointments
Perseverance, Bad choices
Eyes closed, We continue to weep
Rolling down mascara stained cheeks.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place
The devil will present himself as little things
picking my battles, standin on faith
It’s a miracle I’m starting to change

Chorus:
Don’t count me out, count me in.
In the same place but different.
Stages, places, many phases
We all fight our own temptations
But we’re all the same, been scorned by pain,
now it’s time for change
It’s time, it’s time

Verse:
Things are starting to look brighter
I’m a fighter baptized by fire
Never get you time back, workin on self
worried about me and nobody else

Sun always shines on the worst days
Now I’m living in a better way
Gotta keep your head up, so you don’t slip
walking with the angels, so you can’t quit

Dear Friends and Supporters, I can hardly believe we’ve reached another year of Your Song. Somehow it has flown by and felt like an eternity all at once.

This year has been a practice in growth—deep, meaningful, and energizing growth—and I’d like to share just a few of the ways Your Song has blossomed in 2025.

We’ve offered 34 songwriting workshops, wrote 17 songs, & served 125 youth, 53 women in recovery, & 90 elders (65+).

One of the most significant shifts has been the increase in hands-on support Your Song received this year. Through our fiscal sponsor, Unmanageable, and through artists and friends in the Nashville community, we’ve been able to expand our capacity in ways we’ve only dreamed of. Thanks to Unmanageable, our grant writer has knocked it out of the park, helping us secure two grants for youth programming in Nashville and another grant supporting work with recovery communities around the country.

Our team of artist partners has grown immensely, and I am humbled by the hearts of Telisha Williams (artist and MTSU adjunct professor), Daphne Clark (artist and licensed music therapist), and Sammi Accola (artist and social media powerhouse). These women have leaned fully into the mission of Your Song, giving their time, energy, and expertise to help us grow. I cannot wait for the day we can fully compensate them for their dedication.

This fall, we also completed a therapeutic songwriting training for 12 new artist partners! The workshop was a huge success, and because so many people have already asked about the next one, we’re planning another training for late January 2026. Our goal is to empower songwriters to start their own workshops in their local communities and while traveling during tour season.

As we look ahead to 2026, we are excited to keep expanding, learning, and making music with communities across the country. Together, let’s continue creating spaces where every voice matters, every person is seen, and every story is sung.
