(just go) go where you breathe free…

go where you can stretch out and reach wide and high and bloom wild and untamed

that little
voice inside of you…
it’s saying, “go.” so just go.
go where you can
stretch out and reach
wide and high
and bloom wild and untamed
and be unapologetic in your essence
and reckless in your fire
and golden in your skin
and so. easy. in your breathing…
just. go.
to wherever the brutal voices quiet
and the aching doubt settles
and all those heavy fears you’re holding
on to can start to loosen from your grip
and find little ways to fall away…
because that little voice… it’s trying to
save your soul. so just go.
whatever it takes.
whatever you need to put down.
whatever you have to leave behind.
untangle from it all…
and go where you breathe free.

you’ve got this big heart, and it’s full of all these big dreams…

take a deep breath and just hold on

you’ve got this big heart,
and it’s full of all these big dreams,
and maybe sometimes these dreams feel too big,
and maybe sometimes all of this feels too hard,
but the heavens want to have favor on you,
and it may take a long time, but it will happen
in its right time… so take a deep breath
and just hold on

this world is too wide and this universe is too big and you are just too beautiful…

there is just way too much inside of you for you to let this be the end

this world is
too wide
and this universe
is too big
and you are just
too beautiful
and there is just
way too much inside of you
for you to let this
be the end

heartbreak has this way of making your world seem so. small… this isn’t the end…

this world is too wide, and this universe is too big

heartbreak has this way
of making your world seem so small,
just taking everything that
has meaning and collapsing it into
one single story, with only one other person,
and just one version of yourself, in just
one version of life, with what feels
like no way out, and as if there is
nothing more to know

but this world is too wide, and this
universe is too big, and you are just. too. beautiful,
and there is just way too much inside of you…
for you to let this be the end

this isn’t the end…

you said, tell me where you’ve been, love (the way to here)…

you said, tell me where you've been, love

you said,
tell me where you’ve been, love

and i thought of all the lost roads,
and dark corners,
and heavy work, and heartbreak,
and of all the healing

and i just said…
on my way here
