about

An open-hearted soul shanty to carry you up life’s great mountains and across the seven seas 💛

lyrics

Before I get to save the day
I have one more stop to make
To lighten up my load and take
What's mine to truly take
So here I go
Here I go, here I go

Waking up to claim the pain
And whispering my chosen name
I'm breathing deep to stoke the flame
To burn my fear and shame
Oh, here I go
Here I go, here I go

And I'll find what I'm looking for
Lying at the bottom of the sea
I'll dive through an open door
Wake up swimming in a dream

I am strong
I am powerful
I am soft, and sweet, and tender

I can sail the seven seas
I can run on achey knees
I can do what I need to survive

I can sail the seven seas
I can run on achey knees
I can do what I need to grow and thrive

Before I get to save the day
I have one more stop to make
To lighten up my load and take
What's mine to truly take
So here I go
Here I go, here I go

Waking up to claim the pain
And whispering my chosen name
I'm breathing deep to stoke the flame
To burn my fear and shame
Oh, here I go
Here I go, here I go

And I'll find what I'm looking for
Lying at the bottom of the sea
I'll dive through an open door
Wake up swimming in a dream

I'm afraid
Well everyone is
Yet we are made of one another
How miraculous

I can sail the seven seas
I can run on achey knees
I can do what I need to survive

I can sail the seven seas
I can run on achey knees
I can do what I need to grow and thrive
