You Say

You Say by Kalika Fortin

Oh my world got small and gray
And there's no reason I should feel this way
My life is blessed, so rich, so right
but I can't sleep tonight 
and in my mind nothing is clear. 

You say, "Let go. Breathe. Surrender."
Your shining light, it helps me remember. 

I dig both hands into my chest
Can't feel my heart and can't collect my breath
My life is lush and filled with grace
but somehow I fell out of place 
And now I'm lost though I have been here before. 

You say, "Let go. Breathe. Surrender."
Your shining light, it helps me remember. 

Oh my mind got weak and dull
And there's no reason I should feel this way at all
And just one glimpse, one hope, one breath
could move me through this death
And in my heart one thing is clear. 

You say, "Let go. Breathe. Surrender."
Your shining light, it helps me remember. 
And all the love you give, it lifts me
And how you live your love, it heals me. 

You say, "Let go. Breathe. Surrender."
Your shining light, it helps me remember. ​
