LEAN IN

 

 

I fly on through

while they move slow

 

I need the air

they make the coals

 

It’s broken my heart 

how different we can be

And it opens my heart 

how different we can be

 

I want it now, before I close my eyes

They wait till the morning light

till it feels right

 

I hold it all in my heart

they turn it over 

one piece at a time

 

It’s breaking my heart

busting at the seams

It’s breaking my heart

how beautiful they are to me

 

And then the cracks run down 

and we spill out, against the grain

love is a galaxy of seeds

ready for the rain

 

I’ve wept infused with conviction

they’ve held out their hand

 

melting to re-form

rising, reborn

till we understand

yeah, we understand

 

it’s all in the heart 

how beautiful we are

 

I’ve broken my heart

to make room for you

 

to open the heart is a

mighty thing to do

its gonna take 

All of you

 

So wont you try

this love?

c’mon and try,

give it up

 

that weary look in your eye

so you can see 

what we are made of

 

cuz last night 

we were 

strangers 

and now 

 

we’re friends

 

from far away

we lean in,

from far away

we lean in
