I'm Human

I’m not always love and light
Everything is not always fine
There’s bad days and there’s times
There’s times that I feel afraid
It’s not all beautiful
It’s ugly and it’s profane
It feels like hell
It’s chaotic and insane
But amidst the pain and sorrow
I remember there’s tomorrow
I get to start all over once again
I’m human
I’m a human
I’m a multifacted gem
I’ll shine from the inside out
Because my depth has no end
Don’t tell me to take deep breaths
To rise above this mess
Just like the sky gets darker when it rains
I need to feel my pain
I can let my feelings show
Quit holding on and start letting go
Now I’ll let those feelings take the reigns
I’m human
I’m a human
I’m a multifacted gem
I’ll shine from the inside out
Because my depth has no end
I’m human
I’m a human
I’m a multifacted gem
I’ll shine from the inside out
Because my depth has no end
I’m human
I’m a human
I’m a multifacted gem
I’ll shine from the inside out
Because my depth has no end

Packing Light

Limbs reaching high above
Dancing with the sky
Roots shooting down from below
On the grounds where we lie
We lie and we walk and we dance
And we swim and we talk to our mother earth
We run and we sing and we pray
And we weep and we hear our mother earth
Let the water carry you
Like a leaf on the stream
Flowing and moving and changing
Life is but a dream
We lie and we walk and we dance
And we swim and we talk to our mother earth
We run and we sing and we pray
And we weep and we hear our mother earth
Keep it simple but still mindful
On this journey I’ll be packing light
Keep it simple but still mindful
On this journey I’ll be packing light
Light light
Packing light light
Keep it simple but still mindful
On this journey I’ll be packing light

Under the Fear

I am not the thoughts in my mind
I’m the witness on the outside
I am not the chatter I hear
I exist underneath the fear
Go under the fear
Go under the fear
Go under the fear
Go under the fear
I’m more than the wounds of my past
I am what came first and what comes last
I’m the black behind the curtain of the stars
I’m the rhythm of your heart
The rhythm of your heart
The rhythm of your heart
The rhythm of your heart
The rhythm of your heart
The rhythm of your heart
The rhythm of your heart
The rhythm of your heart
The rhythm of your heart
Go under the fear
Go under the fear
Go under the fear
Go under the fear
Go under the fear
Go under the fear
Go under the fear
Go under the fear
The fear
The fear
The fear
The fear

We Are Enough

This is real love I see you and you see me
We are enough untouched in our raw beauty
Beyond all words we are speaking through our heart space
Here we merge sharing our joys and our heartaches
Together we gather
We are all playing
In your way or in my way
We are all praying
Here there is space for us to be our whole selves
We can embrace all those parts that we put on the back shelf
Take down your armor
your scars are beautiful
Break down your walls
Let yourself be vulnerable
Together we gather
We are all playing
In your way or in my way
We are all praying
Together we gather
We are all playing
In your way or in my way
We are all praying
Together we gather
We are all playing
In your way or in my way
We are all praying
Together we gather
We are all playing
In your way or in my way
We are all praying
