letra de breathe! you are alive (feat. paul tressler) - gaelynn lea

breathe, you are alive!
stillness is not the enemy
it’s the only balm
it is the spark
that wakes you up
remember
who you are

who are you?
are you what you do?
how you perform!
different acts every hour –
are you brilliant, burning, beautiful?
or are your fires uncontrolled?
pulled in every direction
can you admit you may be tired?
exhausted, even
are you your fears?
your wants?
your needs?
are you the good and bad words
you use to describе yourself?
some of the timе, at least
are you your inconsistencies?
are you afraid to look at yourself
afraid to remember?

we make ourselves up
put ourselves out there
as works of art
as entertaining shows
for the world to see
to judge
to notice

you are a work of art
but not how you think
it’s in your eyes when you laugh
when you smile
when you’re angry
when you cry

you can’t hide it –
it leaks out
it flashes across your face
you might also like
your soul bursts through
in moments of true tenderness
when the empathy just kind of swells
up from nowhere. from very deep
you are in there

divine
why are we so afraid of it?
why do we try to bury it alive
in schedules and important deadlines
and hurrying?
we have let too much in
crowded ourselves out
forgotten our purpose
forgotten to show up

pause

sit with yourself
sit with a neighbor
sit with me
notice, when you are quiet
how the divine
whispers

notice all things
just
be
in
the
present
for
a
moment

remember to
breathe, love
you are alive
