bless-ed ways

some things come by 

sweeping you up like a wave 

so big 

you just have to dive under 

and there you find the calm 

away from the crash 

you won’t sink 

you’ll swim 

and you know 

you’ll come back up 

for air, again 

for the weary

ah yes, honey,

i recognize heartache 

bring your pain right in here 

if it’s getting too much to take 

i can put my hands over my eyes

and pretend not to see you cry 

one step

one step 

deep breath

all i have in me

this time

is one step 

open my eyes 

won’t always be a pretty sunrise

but if i could just stand up 

take one step

it can be alright
