OLD WAYS

Somedays I fly like a bird 

Everything flows and love is a verb 

Nothing is static 

The breach gets birthed

By these old ways 

 

Somedays I fall from the sky 

Shoot myself down when I fly so high 

Trash my acheivements 

Wish I could die 

To these old ways 

 

Wash away your past with warm tears 

Let them fall from your eyes 

Wash away your past with a laugh dear 

Your laugh can make us fly 

 

Somedays I put myself down 

Question my purpose 

Design a new shroud

Feel like an actor who's faking new ground 

In an old play 

 

Somedays you burst my balloon 

Feel so dejected like I've come too soon

Can't walk the line between user and used 

So I use you 

 

Dear child 

When you were born 

I looked for signs arising from this storm 

Dear child 

I heard your call 

Gave me back my heart

And I walked out the door

 

My God 

I'm coming to you

The journey was hard but then we broke through 

I really do move in mysterious ways 

And so do you 

 

All this fear, I can't find my truth here 

All this fear, we will clear 

We will clear

We will clear
