(slow)
invite me to come live in your solitude
where your thoughts are free
and your heart slows to its natural rhythm
the rhythm when no one is watching
when you aren't on stage

take me there

let me hear the melodies you hum to yourself
invite me to listen without judgement
and store the notes for later use
like when i need peace
and in thinking of you, i'll think of your song

sing me peace

(steady)
grant me permission to watch you sleep
when your guard is finally down
invite me to watch your dreams awaken
how your eyelashes flutter
and your mind frees itself of its chains

let me be free with you

(fast)
let me hold your hand
cradle your spirit when you're feeling weak
kiss your cheek while your eyes flutter
and whisper how much i support your being
let my hand shake with yours
(slow)
...just fly
dream beyond your excuses and fears
