Roots

It's getting late The days pull one into another Still I wait, the ever loved beloved daughter Over by the darkest corners of my mind Terror cries, "I want I want I want I want… Nothing to change Nothing to break the rhythms of my days Give me a sign that my loss will never find me" Oh, the day is short And oh, the night is long But I am trying to roll with the punches, with the punches Some day will I have found a quiet piece of ground? Where I can hear my heartbeat whisper "Time to let go, let go, let go" These bones are strong They've carried me through all these years Safe at home with walls to block out all my fears Breaking down the cycles that I keep repeating Will I find a beaten heart can keep on beating? Oh, the day is short And oh, the night is long But I am trying to roll with the punches, with the punches Some day will I have found a quiet piece of ground? Where I can hear my heartbeat whisper "Time to let go, let go..." While over by the darkest corners of my mind The fear will cry, "I want I want I want I want…" 'Cause oh, the day is short And oh, the night is long But I am learning to roll with the punches, with the punches Some day will I have found these roots can hold the ground? And I will hear my heartbeat whisper "Time to let go, let go, let go" I think I'm ready now Can I be ready now? Every breath is one more chance to let go, let go, let go, let go Let go, let go, let go, let go
