Detached Love

It doesn't mean that I don't care, it just means that I'm aware.
Love is bigger than the both of us, and I'm willing to share.
Detached love. We're still connected.
Detached love. All people respected.
Detached love. Detached love.
Gotta embrace who I am can't erase what's within.
Like what if I laid with man my skin touching his skin?
What if we walked holding hands, the three of us together?
If we get cold we'd come back and cuddle by the fire.
Detached love. We're still connected.
Detached love. All people respected.
Detached love. Detached love.
And it feels a little scary to me.
Cause I was taught a lot of co-dependencies.
the only thing constant is change.
Embrace vulnerability and let this all rearrange.
Detached love. We're still connected.
Detached love.
Detached love.

Finding Safety

Walking down horse trails feeling my feet
It's bright and sunny and in spots the views are sweet
Feel you behind me, come up beside me
And you look up at the trees and tell me 2018 was a good year.
Something tells me, something tells me,
it's gunna be okay, finding safety
Something tells me, something tells me,
it's gunna be okay, I'm gunna be okay, okay.
Pick up a seed pod and split it open.
And I'm feeling like a child blowing seeds into the breeze.
Look at the juniper it grew to tree form.
And just below you pointed out some balsam sprouts.
And just below you pointed out some balsam sprouts.
Something tells me, something tells me,
it's gunna be okay, finding safety
Something tells me, something tells me,
it's gunna be okay, I'm gunna be okay, okay.
Come 'cross the cut block it looks so barren
And I can't help but wonder just how many homes are gone
Yeah they took our lumber to build us homes
And I wonder how many homes are gone.
Something tells me, something tells me,
it's gunna be okay, finding safety
Something tells me, something tells me,
it's gunna be okay, I'm gunna be okay, okay.
Okay okay, something tells me
I'm gunna be okay, finding safety.

Springtime Raining

Looking out at the deep green valley, hanging on strings I let you hold me.
I cried so hard my world was shaking.
Tears coming down like Springtime Raining.
Tears coming down they germinate new thoughts.
Tears coming down like midnight raining.
I want a taste of it all I want all of the flavours.
I want to fall in love at least once a year.
I want to live in my heart it's a warm and a sweet place.
Maybe I can find some safety there.
Maybe I can find some safety there.
Ooo. Ooo.
I got tears coming down like Springtime Raining.
I got tears coming down they germinate new thoughts.
Tears coming down like midnight raining.
I want to fall in love at least once a year.
Maybe I can find some safety here.

Wandering in Wonder

One little seed of possibility is all I need to wonder,
where your mind has been and if your toes have touched the sand.
Flecks of gold and aquamarine so quickly to take me under
I take a breath I hold your hand, we're all in this together.
Curiosity lives in me abundantly
so jump, dance and smile a million smiles.
Fearlessly I walk into serendipity
Awe, surprise, light dancing in my eyes.
Maybe we can sit and just be, and leave it up to feeling.
Let us sync our hearts and our minds and dive head first into healing.
Letting go of what we know and reaching back to centre.
We hold this moment in our hearts, peace is the key enter.
Curiosity lives in me abundantly
so jump, dance and smile a million smiles.
Fearlessly I walk into serendipity
Awe, surprise, light dancing in my eyes.
Wandering in wonder,
walking here with you.
Close your eyes surrender,
hearts together true.
Curiosity lives in me abundantly
so jump, dance and smile a million smiles.
Fearlessly I walk into serendipity
Awe, surprise, light dancing in our eyes.
