Forgiven Lyrics

There was a race that I entered in, my heart to beat

I’ve been running all this time with my head and my feet

I file away, I tick the boxes so often,

My eyes grow lines as my nerves begin to soften

Does it ever stop and where are we heading?

I’ve been remembering the rules so long, the game I’m forgetting

I can not run to set myself free but I can learn to walk beside me

The earth makes space for the graceful life that begins

We stretch our limbs and we say goodbye to our skin

Make space for this change, allow it to happen

Turn over pages and try to sketch out new patterns

Does it ever stop and where are we heading?

I’ve been remembering the rules so long, the game I’m forgetting

I can not run to set myself,free but I can learn to walk beside me

I can not run to set myself,free but I can learn to walk beside me

I thought I thought I knew just where I came from

But I knew, I knew that I tend to get things wrong

I always saw us tied with a line so thin

There’s rope, that holds our hope and stops me from falling

Does it ever stop and where are we heading?

For years I’ve been removed from all that I’m feeling

Chasing down the silence, I’m starting to listen

With the sun on my skin and the change in the wind I’m forgiven.
