Yearning for an escape
A refuge from the pain
Out the door with armour on
We begin searching once again
For peace, joy and freedom
And to learn to trust the way
With a vast amount of love
That we hope will only stay
But years and lifetimes pass
Of searching far and wide
Our faith and hope it dwindles
Is there anything on our side?
But in that moment something shifted
Our barriers drop to the floor
An awakening of this forgotten heart
To surrender to something more
Peace calls for us to listen
And to really drop the fight
If it's peace in life we truly want
We can no longer hide our light
And with that joy proclaims
To ask our hearts what we love
And try to live a life full of these things
As miracles rain from above
Freedom then appears
To ask why we tame ourself?
And cage our authenticity
When truth is the greatest wealth
Trust ever so gently speaks
As we slow down enough to hear
That trust can only begin within
So we must hold ourselves so dear
By learning to embody
All that we desire
We magically awaken love
Like a newly ignited fire
The heart, it freely speaks
That we all too often stay
In the mind with thoughts of lacking
When the heart should lead the way
