you’re not getting this all wrong; being human is really hard…

you're not getting this all wrong; being human is really hard, and things hurt so much because you're made of stuff that's so much better than this place

you’re not getting this all wrong;
being human is really hard, and things hurt
so much because you’re made of stuff that’s so
much better than this place. so it’s ok to barely
even know how to be human sometimes… just take
it from one breath to the next.

i will remember the promises my soul made…

may we hold on to the promises our souls make… i want to remember the promises my soul made before i came here

may we hold on to the promises our souls make…

i want to remember the
promises my soul made before i came here…

that i am here to learn the lessons but not get so lost in
them that i can’t heal and grow from them. and to take in the
texture of earth and the taste of skin… but hold the memory
that i am so much more than the heavy weight of being human.
that i will trust my journey, even in the darkest corners when
nothing feels like a way out… because my soul knows that
there is always a way out.

and while i’ll know that i am here to learn to love them
and fall in love with them… let me never, ever forget that i am
here to learn to love me and fall in love with me, too.

some of us have just never known ease…

some of us have just never known ease. we've known so much fear energy, and we've spent our lives with this feeling

some of us have just never known ease.

we’ve known so much fear energy,
and we’ve spent our lives with this feeling…
like we’re always on the verge of being in trouble
for something. it’s intangible, but it’s always there…
and the dream is to close our eyes someday
and to just feel safe, to feel held by
a universe that loves us.

let your heart learn to be uninterested in anyone who is not for you…

let your heart learn to be uninterested in anyone who is not for you... you're not meant to have to convince anyone of your magic

let your heart learn to be uninterested in
anyone who is not for you… you’re not meant
to have to convince anyone of your magic;
there’s someone out there who came here
searching just for it

summer wild… a restless summer child, sunrise-sweet and sunset-wild…

summer wild... a restless summer child, sunrise-sweet and sunset-wild

summer wild…
a restless summer child, sunrise-sweet and
sunset-wild, kissed by light glimmer and running
free in the wild air, under the magic of fireflies and in
the glow of bonfire flare, feeling alive and chasing
new horizons is why we’re here, so when the
sunset unfolds into the night of our lives…
promise you’ll meet me there.

there are girls and women in your world with their guards up…

there are girls and women in your world with their guards up, and they want to be so soft... but i promise you

there are girls and women in your world with
their guards up, and they want to be so soft…
but i promise you, they’ve been given
so many reasons not to be.

and there are girls and women in your world
who are so soft… but there’s a good chance
it’s in spite of so many reasons they’ve
been given not to be.
