Shaina Noll - How Could Anyone - lyrics

Written by: Libby Roderick

[@JB-cx1ny]

I'm a 48yo Black-American father of 3 daughters. This song was just introduced to me last night and i was still listening to it at 3am. It touched something within me that I didn't know was there. After listening again this morning, I decided to send it to my daughters and to tell them myself, how beautiful they are. Godspeed to all and especially those that are still healing.

[@grandmotherclearsky326]

You are a good dad!

[@SharonRiver]

My sister and I sang this while scattering our Dad's ashes high in the mountains as was his last wish... A perfect song to honor someone at a memorial. Our voices were not this clear because we were weeping... But what a perfect song for this blessed event....

[@jennifergreen3395]

I sang this song in choir class in 2007 dedicated to a friend in my class who had cancer. The night of our concert she had pasted away. We all sang this song with tears and pure sadness to honor her and her life. This song always makes me cry.

[@starseed45]

My entire life I treated my inner child the way my severely abusive family did but bc of this beautiful song I was able to connect and feel a deep ❤️ for this unbelievably precious gift from God. My whole life is changed. How can I ever thank you. God bless you

[@kimrillaerts7557]

Same here....is a healing song for the Child in me...💗

[@jasminbrackenfield7017]

Very healing song, I played on repeat for a while years ago.

[@dianemurchison9233]

I heard this song an a group for adult who survived childhood sexual abuse and I have since shared it with all friends and I sing it to any child I hold. I still use it for myself when I feel down. Now I know I am a beloved child of Jesus and He thinks I am beautiful and he loves me. What more could I ask for. God Bless us all.

[@bassman5225]

Hamèn Halleluja! does anyone know a little more funky version of that medicine piece?

[@USColdplayFan]

This song sounds like something my mom would sing to me. Since her passing, I just weep missing her and imagining that she is singing directly to my heart

[@judyconnor332]

I listen to this and wish I could sing it to my mother who suffered from domestic violence for the entirety of her adult life. May she finally rest in peace.

[@FisherzofMen777]

Sorry for your losses♡♡♡ KNOW you will see her again... Trust GOD our heavenly Father☆☆☆ FOR the desire of your hearts♡♡♡ John 3:16☆☆♡♡♡☆☆

[@ZhiyingHarp]

how blessed u are to have a mother like that. my mum would never do anything to make me feel loved. she made me feel ugly and unloved instead. i have distanced myself from her. so this song here is my mother.

[@roelineschep]

@@ZhiyingHarp Dear Zhiying, how brave of you to share this with us. And I feel compassion for you because you and all children should be loved end cherished, and deserve a safe and warm home. It is so good that this song is helping you because you ARE beautiful. And valuable , and loved, and strong. Keep the good vies and delete the ones that do not support you. Sugdestion: Try to read some boots by Eckhart Tolle (the power of now) or listen to him on KZbin . He is a sprliritual person and he is amazingly wise and at the same time very much down to earth. The message is: live in this moment because the past and future actually do not exist. But he can sau in a thousand ways so that we all can understand it. With lots of love , i greet you. Regards, Roeline Schep, Amsterdam💕💕💕💕

[@roelineschep]

Keep the good vibes ☺️

[@roseelley4470]

I think the word everyone should be replace by “you” …. How could you ever tell yourself you are anything less than beautiful? How could you ever tell youself you are less than whole? How could you ever fail to notice, that your life is a miracle? How deeply you’re connected to my soul”

[@Queen731.]

Your suggestion has the power to change the world.

Beautiful. Sang this to my daughter and also to the kids at Unity. They loved it. I still do.

That is a really a very nice church song. So many people simply can't feel that truth yet.

Thank you Shaina for this timeless message. The first time I heard it I wept and since hearing the song, sung in large and small groups many times, tears still flow.

I came across this song days ago while desperate for the outer Mother object. I’ve been playing it like an IV drip ever sense. When I feel afraid, abandoned, panicked, not good enough, not whole enough, too sensitive, too deep, too much…it holds me in the warmest embrace. I’ve read so many comments here which have broken my heart open. I send loving prayers and support to you all. You are beautiful and loved just as you are. ❤❤❤

[@nathanmaden8791]

This song made me break out into tears, uncontrolled tears, expressing deep emotions. As someone who is dealing with CPTSD, this song touched the most hidden deep emotions in my soul. Thank you so much for these angelic words of love, and the soft and comforting voice❤️🙏❤️

Caring for your inner child. A beautiful song.

When I was a child, I had a pillow that played Brahms Lullabye. I wore that pillow out !! I'd love to get this in a pillow for a child, so they could play it all night.

[@dianastone6547]

you know I just read about the cuddle therapist who suckled a client, who reported her and was injured and retraumatized. I used to play this song for some of my hurt and traumatized clients. You don't actually have to touch a client to help them feel love and valued. You connect to their soul not their genitals, Shaina Noll is absolutely beautiful . thank you, Shaina

As a trans girl and someone who is disabled listening to this song hits home hard and its one of my favorite songs that make me feel like I am worth it and as it says beautiful even tho I have countless doubts of my looks and my own heart and mind despite the nice things friends or others say about me.

[@judithkrmrs8533]

Dear Ally, I just read what you wrote and it touched my heart. I relate to it very much! I personally cannot remember a time in my life I wasn't convinced something was deeply wrong with me. I felt either too much or not good enough. Never JUST RIGHT. I've been working on it my whole adult life and though I see small improvements I still beat myself up a lot. My heart goes out to you, imagining how many nights you have cried yourself to sleep, just like myself. And wishing feeling loved and JUST RIGHT will be your dominant emotions one soon day! 🥰

[@wilma8326]

We are all worthy and we all are beautiful. No exceptions! We have been taught everything upside down. Our worth doesn't come from outside, it comes from deep within, from what we really are. Don't wait for the world to see it, know it. You are worth, you are beauty, you are love, even if you can't feel it ♥️ And I wish for you to find this knowing so you can learn to feel and live it 🎶☀️

I was looking for this my friends made me cry because they sung it so beautifully 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@grandmotherclearsky326]

When I sang this song to my grandchildren when they were babies on up, I changed the lyrics to "Don't let anyone" . . . because it was more affirming and empowering for them as they were little ones who had not yet experienced the cruelty of the world. For those of us adults who need healing, it is appropriate to hear "How could anyone. . . " When I first heard the song in 1995 at age 34, I needed to hear it as "How could anyone".

[@nennepanrikefairytaleart4773]

This song .... Well, it has been a cradle for me!+ The first time I heard it, I felt like coming home... I cried over my lost child hood, but I felt that I was given a new, beautiful child hood through this song! ... The little child inside me is always there, needing love and safety and now I can be a dream parent for her, the parent I never had. Being a grownup for me, is to allow your inner child to play, have love and peace. Yes, growing up is to take care of the child within. THat is my perspective.

[@bjbruckner]

Many years ago in the 70s this was part of a group they saying it over and over in a circle with the moon going over us and then they said to everyone close their eyes and think about the one thing they wish their parent their father their love of their friend the world had said to them that they were waiting to hear.. I figured they would call on each of us to say what it was but now they tap their shoulder and said move to the person to the right and whisper in their ear what you wish you had heard There are a lot of Saabs and tender moments because the truth is we all needed to hear the same thing in a different way

[@mumofbrunodog]

God is our one true father. Forgiveness sets us free too. I forgave my Dad long ago for his actions and I found out last year that he passed away about a year ago. He wouldn’t have known at that time that I had long since forgiven him but he will now. I just send love to him whenever I think about him (which isn’t often but your comment has just reminded me to do that).

[@johac7637]

@@mumofbrunodog I forgave him long ago to his face, a few weeks before he passed he asked Mom to tell his boys he wants forgiveness,Mom told him he should ask it in person. Never did. He lived 2 months short of 100, and the sad thing is 99 years of not saying he was wrong, really, and I'm grateful he made a deathbed confession, but also told Mom that he realized it was his doings that he was at outs with everybody in his life, and regretted not asking forgiveness as he outlived everybody, what a lonesome life. And sadly when they pass away it's over, Biblically they know nothing, and the next thing they know will be the resurrection and hopefully the right one, again Biblically referenced. He also ask Mom for forgiveness, she also told him, remember it was me who asked and gave forgiveness many times.
