Hello Beloved

Hello Beloved, I've come home
Not good to be so all alone
Sorry I've been away so long
I've seen a lot since I've been gone
I saw myself in the ocean
Think I might have seen God in the ocean
Never felt so incredibly human
Never felt so incredibly small
I learned a thing or two about power
Became proud of my beating heart
This heroic human heart endures
Much more than we often give it credit for
Oh Beloved, it's the heart that knows
Things that we can't explain.
This heroic human heart...
Hello Beloved, I've come now
There's seed to plant and fields to plow
If you've got strength to share somehow
I'll take as much as you'll allow
I faced an inferno of fire
Or maybe that was all in my head
Fire makes me think about endings
Fire makes me contemplate death
Tossed my philosophy books in the fire
Became proud of my beating heart
This heroic human heart endures
Much more than we often give it credit for
Oh Beloved, it's the heart that knows
Things that we can't explain
This heroic human heart...
Hello Beloved, let's come clean
Remember everything we've seen
We're lit with fire from within
To begin, and begin, and begin, and begin

Lean into the Light

When winter lasted for 1000 years
We thought it would be the end for us
We gathered wisdom for 1000 years
And nobody loves summer like us
When you've stood on the ledge
Looked over the edge, you know
Shapes in the dark, never too far below
When you've stood on the ledge
Looked over the edge, you know
Things that you wish you didn't know
And so we lean into the light
And so we lean into the light
And so we lean into the light
And we lift up our eyes.
When nighttime lasted for 1000 years
We almost forgot about the sun
We survived nighttime for 1000 years
And nobody loves morning like us
When you got to the end
But you weren't dead, you know
You could just shut your eyes
Lay down and die, let go
When we got to the end
But we weren't dead, we put up a fight
Oh, a hell of a fight
And so we lean into the light
And so we lean into the light
And so we lean into the light
And we lift up our eyes.
And so we lean into the light
And so we lean into the light
And so we lean into the light
And we lift up our eyes.
When you get up again
Face in the wind, you know
So much more
Than before

Nienna

Once there was a void
Then the void was filled with music
And the sky was filled with light
Every garden filled with life
The most beautiful of all
Were the Children who lived there
They could do wonderful things
Or create such suffering
The earth groans in birth
Oceans churn in the deep
The Children struggle in the sun
In the garden, She weeps
All the beauty and ugliness that I've known
It's all wrapped up inside of this little moment
Anything can be turned around and used for good
Anything can be overcome as we endure
How is hope rekindled?
Where is wisdom found?
Where does grief turn into strength?
In the garden, on the ground
The deepest knowledge we have
The instinct in our veins
Survive the night and meet the day
Resurrection for the brave
All the pain and the brokenness gather up in the clouds
All the tears will rain down on the fields where we live
Trees of wisdom and gentleness, flowers of hope
Will grow up from the ground in the fields where we live
All the pain and the brokenness gather up in the clouds
All the tears will rain down on the fields where we live
Trees of wisdom and gentleness, flowers of hope
Will grow up from the ground in the fields where we live
All the pain and the brokenness gather up in the clouds
All the tears will rain down on the fields where we live
Trees of wisdom and gentleness, flowers of hope
Will grow up from the ground in the fields where we live

You Want Me

Never mind what I said last time
I got catcallers in my head
I'm working on my faith in you
Believing what you said
You want me
You want me
You want me
You want Me
Healing feels like burning sometimes
You're good medicine
Healing feels like burning sometimes
You set me on fire
You want me
You want me
You want me
You want Me
You don't know what you're doing to me
Didn't know it could be so easy
You don't know how you're setting me free
Do you know that you're setting me free?
You want me
You want me
You want me
You want Me
You want me
You want me
You want me
You want Me
