Stepping Out

 

Stepping out of this, I’ve been living

In a space in between

Fear and a quiet world

I may not say much, but

Inside I’m not a quiet girl

Quiet survival, silent revival

Is not enough anymore

 

I hold it all back

Keep the boat still

Ask myself why I would blister

In spite of myself

Cause I’m right here

This is how I am

This is what I need to breathe

And I’m not sorry anymore

 

Back into my life

With wide open eyes

The losses go deep

I dive down to hold them

Up to their flight

Come down from your cloud, girl

Get out of your mind

So I step out of this

 

Loyal

For Melissa

 

You were young, so was I

The sun we left behind

The rain shined

So did your smile

 

I cannot believe

You let me in your hard-earned life

You are my friend

And I would do anything

 

I saw your mother

Still loving you,

So proud of you,

So strong in you

And I am too,

And I am too.

 

The truth will surface

And you will ask

If the world knows you at all

And she will say:

“I remember your future

 In a way that makes you

Free”

 

The day is white,

Your mind is clear,

Your heart is full,

Your soul is deep,

Your spirit young,

Your family wide,

The sun is strong,

Your shadow loyal…

 

Loyal

 

And I saw you,

Still loving you,

So proud of you,

So strong in you,

And I am too,

And I am too.

 

Frozen Woman

 

There’s a frozen woman inside of me

I’ve got freezer burn,

She’s choking and churning

I’m hot and ready to go

Trying to wake her up

 

Come on woman, come on woman

Wake up

She’s crawling and crawling

And her thighs are dripping

She don’t wanna be on her knees no more

The icicles are falling to the floor

 

Come on woman, come on woman

Only if I don’t have to please no more

She’s been frozen in all these years

Her ears still burn with degradation

Come on woman, come on woman,

Her mouth is on fire,

She’s moving her lips

Trying to get the numb out

Trying to get the w-o-r-d-s out

 

She is singing hymns of praise to the Goddess

Who was never even mentioned in the Bible

Yeah, this is my body, this is my blood,

I gave them up for you

I gave them up for the kids, the dog, and the church,

And you sent me to bed

Well I’m back and better than ever

Come on woman, come on woman,

 

The ice is sliding down

I don’t look up no more

You’re not higher than me

You’re on your knees

Then take my hands

And we’ll dance on our knees

But it’s hot in here, I’m walking away

I have two strong legs

 

Come on woman, come on woman

Inevitable as the sun that rises

The world doesn’t know,

So come on and surprise us

 

Come on woman, come on woman

Go to the door and burn your way through

Then sing to the heavens, sing to the heavens

Sing to the heavens…

 

I’m alive

and I can fly
