There’s a game that you know best
You’ve been playing your cards close to the chest
Put ‘em down and let it rest
Take a breath and settle in
Feel the drumming of your heartbeat within
The rhythm says where to begin
It takes time to live the life you want to know
Take your time
You see it better when it’s slow
Let your breath
Release into the great unknown
Lift your hands
They will not rise alone
All we are is dust and all
Belly full of wind and fire to fly and fall
Two hands for reaching through the wall
Two feet to run when someone calls
It takes time to live the life you want to know
Take your time
You see it better when it’s slow
Let your breath
Release into the great unknown
Lift your hands
They will not rise alone
And in the letting go
Is the tender way you’re made to be
Your body was built to be free
No one wins the game
We were only made to live
In the ease of love
And the shadow of your shame–
Let it fall away
What is left
What is left
What stays
What is left to say
In the silence there is truth
You can find there what is real to you
Nothing to own, nothing to lose
Just your rough magic shining through
It takes time to live the life you want to know
Take your time
You see it better when it’s slow
Let your breath release into the great unknown
Lift your hands
They will not rise alone
They will not rise alone
They will not rise alone
They will not rise alone
They will not rise
Alone

Like a Clam
Like a clam Like a daytime diner at 6 As the sun has just gone down And the dishes are run through the wash Even if you say you’re hungry and lost And you tell me …
Love Pass Through
We see the sky from the train It’s getting darker The birds are high And they’re flocking like a cloud In dark times they’re what I pray to now I think we’re like them …
O My Soul
There’s a new moon in my eye A dark spot in the brightness of the day Try to catch it in my hand but it fades away It fades away And I find that I am strange I’m not what …
