FEED THE GOOD WOLF
This is the closing message of the album — and the most personal.
I used to tell my daughter a story about two wolves inside us — one driven by fear, anger, and doubt, and the other by clarity, compassion, and strength. The one that grows is the one you feed.
This song is about that daily choice. Not as a metaphor — but as a lived practice.
It’s the reminder that transformation isn’t a single moment. It’s a pattern of choices.
Feed the right one.

Two voices…
Same mind…
Same moment…
Which one are you feeding?
I feel it rising under my skin
Two directions pulling within
One says run, protect, hold tight
One says grow, step into light
One wants comfort, stay the same
One wants more, expand the frame
Every moment, every choice
I can hear both in my voice
Sometimes fear feels safe to hold
Even when it leaves me cold
Sometimes truth feels hard to face
But I feel it in that space
I see it now…
It’s always been
The war inside is where it begins
That truth…
That quiet line…
What I feed becomes my life
There’s a war inside — I can feel it
Light and the dark — both speaking
Every choice I make — I’m feeding
So I choose the one I believe in
Feed the good wolf — let it grow strong
Feed the good wolf — all day long
What I give my energy — becomes my life
So I feed the light — every time
Feed the good wolf…
Feed the light…
Every moment…
Every time…
Now I see it in the small things
How I think and what I bring
What I focus, what I say
Shapes the path I walk each day
Feed the doubt and it expands
Feed the fear, it takes command
Feed the light, it starts to rise
Shifts the way I see my life
It’s not random, it’s not chance
It’s every thought, every stance
Every action, every move
Is choosing what I let grow through
Yeah…
It’s clear to me
The life I live is what I feed
That shift…
That conscious choice…
Now I listen to that voice
There’s a war inside — I can feel it
Light and the dark — both speaking
Every choice I make — I’m feeding
So I choose the one I believe in
Feed the good wolf — let it grow strong
Feed the good wolf — all day long
What I give my energy — becomes my life
So I feed the light — every time
Every moment…
I decide…
Who I become…
From the inside
There’s a war inside — I can feel it
Light and the dark — both speaking
Every choice I make — I’m feeding
So I choose the one I believe in
Feed the good wolf — let it grow strong
Feed the good wolf — all day long
What I give my energy — becomes my life
So I feed the light — every time
You already know…
You already know…
Which one you’re feeding.
