oh my soul

:

take me places where I'm frightened to go

holding me

guiding me

loving me

I can no longer keep it together

I've been holding my breath for too long

I'm done living the script that others wrote

:

oh my soul

:

I will trust your rumblings

while I fall apart

I will trust your demands

as they rattle my fear

I will accept the unknown

one breath at a time

:

breaking chains

smashing lies

burning masks

:

into the dark

we're going to together

oh my soul

we're going together

:

together rising

together moving

together healing

:

towards the light

here, an open field

here, rushing water

here, the arms of trees

:

tears of pain

ripping it all off

tears of joy

writing my story

:

I fall onto the dirt

naked and exposed

...I'm finally free

...so completely free

...to be me

:

oh my soul

oh...

my...

soul...
