Oh how I crave the innocence of wide eyes They search around for good things, Holy things Oh how I crave the innocence of laughing at oneself So loud and joyful, a full and holy melody Oh how I crave to protect the innocence of these wide eyes and laughing songs Innocence, holy and good
Sometimes I’d rather close my eyes and enjoy the ride Other times I’d rather fight to be in the drivers seat Both are overwhelmingly apart of who I am But when the scale tips, who will win? This is height vs width Fight vs flight Nature vs nurture Ying vs Yang Two in the same The most vile form of pain To be pulled by all for limbs at the same time That’s pain Pain that I would like to lay down So I will do just that Handing you the keys, closing the door on my way out Watching the car move down the street as I wave I think that’s what I’ll do
oh the freedom in being the happiness that unfolds I release it all I release the tightness in my hands I release the tension in my jaw I release the breath I’ve been choking back I release it all
oh the joy in being the relief that follows I release it all I release the creases in my face I release the tears in the trenches of my soul I release the smile I’ve been punishing
oh to be to breathe to stretch to smile oh to simply be
I don’t know what to name it It’s such a beautiful emotion Provoking my heart to race against itself Fooling my eyes I can’t comprehend it’s weightlessness It’s almost too freeing My breath leaves me My palms sink into the earth, it’s perfect Everything is perfect There is hope here There is life here It’s an indescribable emotion
