Flying Out

I'm Elijah, can you see me
can you hear me
crying out "Hallelujah
I'm becoming more buoyant as I'm
flying out"
I was empty, but i loved you
and you loved me too
Now I'm a river overflowing
Can you love me as i
carry you away?

Oh how everything is perfectly aligning
as it ought to be
Everything I see is lit up
bold and clearly
like glistening bodies on a beach
Do U feel me?
Reverence for the way a body mends
and a heart is given
brand new wings
But I'm like:
"Why would the Universe
grant such grace
to a dumb blonde haired
blue eyed ghoul
like me?"
Do U feel me?
It used to be that everything was fucked
and barren and diseased
I was tangled in the weeds
Now I finally found a clearing
and it's bright and calm and I'm alive
undressing in the breeze
Do U feel me?

Follow Your Heart, Honey
03:19

It seemed to be not long ago
you saw some footprints in the snow
A stranger's path laid out before
you followed them wherever they'd go
Now spring has sprung, all is awake
a million pathways you can take
No guide or map or footprints in snow
just trust yourself
and off you go
You'll glide into the light of the now
if you follow your heart,
honey
There’s no rules here,
only time
You'll bask in the sun blooming out
if you follow your heart,
honey
There’s no mountain
you can’t climb
Be the water. be the river
and follow your heart,
honey
Be the giver and receiver
and follow your heart
Honey

I Am Everything
02:59
|
|

I own the hands that hold me
They're strong but soft as doves
and in them is a knowing
that everything I'm building
is an offering of love
My eyes are open windows
with tears to keep them clean
They're letting in the light now
and I'm stunned by all the beauty
on the altar
that is me
My body is a sun
rising in Spring
and oh,
it's lovely
My body is a song
that I will sing
until I'm nothing
but for now
I'm everything
I am everything
I am everything
I am everything
I am everything
I am everything
I am everything
I am everything
I am everything

Internal Summer
02:34
|
|
||
|
Summer Solstice arrives as a witness
to bow down to the brightest light in you
only you
Filled with wonder,
internal summer
cloudless and jubilant
and true
oh
so true
Your lilies bloom
preoccupied with nothing
but the light inside
Your glassy lake
a metaphor for inner calm
and endless shore
Keep on humming the song you're becoming
The summer song
composed by you
only you
***guitar solo***

I See You
02:45
|
|
||
|
I see you opening your heart
knowing that it won't get
torn apart
I see you living out your days
in the most delightful
blissful ways
Take a dive, take a leap into the river
Feel alive when the cold makes you shiver
All the truth is found
in why you flew
Take a step, then hey, take another
Have faith in what you uncover
on a path being blazed by
only YOU
I see you floating on a tide
soaking up the vast
expanse inside
I see you growing like a seed
knowing you are everything
you'll ever need
I SEE YOU
