AGAIN
Once again, I feel new horizons
Where life is touched by the sun
Realized the pain is part of the gain
We stretch to grow
Slowly breathing, now I’m seeing
Love again, through the eyes of our children
Watching them, I laugh at myself
Try and ‘member when I played with a friend
Without a care
Sharing stories, funny faces
Laughing loud in public places
Who said growing up meant growing cold
And sooner or later you fall apart
Find you’re one step closer to whole
Wasted time on a worried start
Slowly lose yourself in control
So damned scared of a broken heart
But broken hearts are stronger, baby
Broken hearts are stronger, I am told
When I stand to learn, it’s from my falling down
When I puff my chest, I wear a humble crown
Grateful it’s this crown that got me here
Without blinders, seeing clear
When it’s strength I find, it comes from being weak
I’ll watch the rocks I climb, forget about the peaks
I’m just a fool who stumbled on
One small pathway through this tunnel
No one makes it through this one alone
And sooner or later you fall apart
Serves you right for staying at home
Wasted time on a worried start
Jealous lover, bury your bone
Wake up child, you’re a work of art
Flower waiting for its season
Thinker waiting for a reason
Here it is inside you from the start
