Blossoming With the Spring EP
In the Middle triptych: part 3
Women's March Theme
Blossoming With the Spring I saw you / Standing in front of a freshly opened window / With your eyes closed / Letting the sunlight illuminate your torso / And you raised up / Your hands toward the heavens / And you reached out / Feeling your body blossoming with the spring / I heard / The chatter of birds as the sky was streaked in color / Responding / To the energy that was swelling all around us / And we raised up / Our wings toward the heavens / And we sang out / Feeling our bodies blossoming with the spring / Look at the ledge that is here to hold your coffee cup / The stepping stones emerging through the muck / Be open / To the messages that present themselves to you / Unexpectedly / Don't forget to accept any help that they are offering / Loosen up / The heart is a muscle that's flexible / Don't freak out / Maybe you're feeling the blossoming / Can't say what it'll bring / The green that busts through the seed and grows / Nobody knows / But all that it can do is do its thing / Here it comes / Blossoming with the spring / Blossoming with the spring
Everything Changes First cut in a year and a fresh can of beer and I'm sitting on the stoop just feeling the breeze blow around me / I want somewhere to go but it's nice here at home and I'm yearning for a certain something that just hasn't found me / Ooh / Ahh / There's still so much to learn and I'm waiting my turn / Will it hurt? / Everything changes / I am struck by the trees-- all the pinks and the greens-- Is there anything it means when nature puts things together? / I'm just waiting to see what gets put next to me and I'm trying to believe but hope still shifts with the weather / Ooh / Ahh / There's still so much to learn and I'm taking my turn / It's a blur / Everything changes / Everything changes / Changes / Everything / Everything changes
We Always Do The devil made me do it / God showed me the way / Mercury's in retrograde / It's just how I was raised / I don't know what got into me / That's how it's always done / There's a full moon tonight / It's that time of the month / Blame it on the rain / Blame it on Cain / Blame it on my juice / Blame it on my youth / We always do / We always do what we want to do / Even if we can't admit it / We always do what we want to do / After all that, I deserve it / It's the right thing to do / They were asking for it / I did it all for you / How did I end up here? / What am I doing with my life? / Who will ever know? / What's it gonna hurt? / How will I decide? / Blame it on the rain / Blame it on Cain / Blame it on my juice / Blame it on my youth / We always do / We always do what we want to do / Even if we can't admit it / We always do what we want to do / Blame it on the rain / Blame it on Cain / Blame it on my juice / Blame it on my youth / We always do / We always do what we want to do / Even if we can't admit it / We always do what we want to do
Done With Forgiving So I guess I was wrong about all of the dreams / They were not about you / I don't know what they mean / And I thought it was spring / Oh but see how my fingertips freeze / I am done with forgiving / I belong to the living / And you never were worth all the work it would take to achieve / So I am reclaiming my time / And the lines that have always been mine / Forget the forgiving / Surrender to letting it be / Maybe there's not a reason behind every crime / And the torment of trying to rationalize someone else is just twisting the thorns that they stuck in my side / I am done with forgiving / Just how long have I been missing? / I helped to construct my own cage and you left with the key / I expected to open the door / And so I never noticed before / I fit right through the bars / Fuck forgiving / I'd rather be free / How were the choices of cowards still getting me down? / Now I am flexing my powers and I'm stepping back into my crown / I am done with forgiving / I belong to the living / And you never were worth all the work it would take to achieve / So I am reclaiming my time / And the lines that have always been mine / Forget the forgiving / Surrender to letting it be
Beauty of the Real The way the light is shining on your face invites me to consider you in shadows and in shapes / The crescent of your eyelid / The texture of your skin / The subtle signifiers of complexities within / And I see in you revealed / The beauty of the real / Tangible and true / What a treasure the light has shown in you / The way the space is echoing your voice encourages you to open up and feel the flow of joy / The singable sensations of resonance and tone / Particular vibrations of the sound that's yours alone / And I hear in you revealed / The beauty of the real / Tangible and true / What a treasure the space replays back to you / The way that touch can summon up the soul / Seduce it to the surface till it gladly cedes control / The loosening of tension / The freedom of release / The shedding of pretension and discovery of peace / And I feel myself revealed / The beauty of the real / Tangible and true / What a treasure a touch can uncover in you / Oh, to be the light, the space, the touch that with such gentle grace / Invokes the spirit to show its face / And coaxes out the unique ways that you embody beauty / If I may be of service, use me / So may this heart that's keeping me alive keep reaching for the beating thing you're holding deep inside / I'll simply grant permission / I'll open up a door / I'll witness you discover what you've never tried before / And in you will be revealed / The beauty of the real / Tangible and true / What a treasure awaits inside of you
