Close your eyes Beloved one Let these words Carry you home This body walked Through confusion Till it loosened Old illusion Each breath Stayed with me So these eyes Could finally see I thought life Had to be solved Didn't realize The heart evolved Breath was thin Night was long Still it held me All along You didn't rush You didn't plan You stayed with me When I couldn't stand You didn't pull You didn't shove You waited there In patient love I kept walking Because of you Quiet light Shining through I saw more When I let go No return No need to know Lessons came Without a fight Path appeared In softer light Nothing won Nothing lost Just the steps Just the cost Thank you, hands For holding on Thank you, lungs For carrying dawn Thank you, feet For every doubt For standing up For walking out I stand still In the doorway Hand on wood Heart made real One last look At the fire Then I step Into the light I won't leave you I won't rise above I'll walk this life From the ground Of love
