I want to introduce myself to people passing by

I want to introduce myself to me

Every time I tried before

I never knew that I was more

Than what I’d known myself to be

Silly me

Finally – Found a love to call my own

Truly – I never have to leave my home

This bird can fly again

Gently – I pull apart the machinery

Purely – Remember how I’m supposed to be

Holy – I emerge again

Finally

The pendulum I’m grabbing on

It’s swinging to extremes

The force is so centrifugal 

But I ride

The center is so seldom found

I’m walking over frozen ground

But life will start to spring again

Come rain

And this unfolding time is the time I’ll remember

When I forget about this day

But now my eyes have seen a different dream

And they can’t take that away

Who could guess what wonders here

Were buried down below

Now I know the wonders here

Lord I know

They were hidden for so long

They grew into a grateful song

Came out through the wood and wire I play

Finally – Found a love to call my own

Truly – I never have to leave my home

This bird can fly again

Gently – I pull apart the machinery

Purely – Remember how I’m supposed to be

Holy – I emerge again

Finally
