lyrics

Waiting
wait.. wait, wait, wait..
In the moments of growth
In the moments of pain, discomfort,
Body disfiguration, tired anxious mind
Wait..
The hope of birth keeps smiling through
This won't be forever.

Concentrate on breath.
Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out.
Concentrate on breath.. When will this end?
Rest.
Concentrate on breath. Breathe in. Breathe out.
The hills of expanding on the edge of explosion
As if blowing tight air in a closed steel ball.
Release
Over. And. Over..
Am I just a vessel to display the glory
Misery and pain waiting to be ended by mud to my eyes?
What, in 50-70 years? In the next generation?
Release.
What about me now?
Who will love me?
Who will tend my wounds?
Hold me? Protect me?
Release.
Remember the birds that neither sow nor weep
The flowers that do not labor nor spin.
Remember, remember.. anyone who loves
will be loved and be made home.
Release.
We get lost in
i
i
i
i.
Like a ball of grey, dusty gas,
Nats surrounding, marketing to us
Holding the sickles of our past
That create a black film over each beauty
of being needed, appreciated, desired, loved..
Release.
But there are flowers to the left
Blossoming.
We can't even nod to a little blessing
Swimming in our own mess, depress
Repeat
Hurting others, hurting ourselves
Repeat
Because that is somewhat controllable
Control!
Control!
Is this the rest of my life?

Let go
Open
The face of your mystery child sees you, you see for the first time.
The world. everything. disappears.
But this child.
More wild than your thoughts could have ever reached.
Wow.
