Son - Sleeping At Last

Show me

Who I am and who I could be

Initiate the heart within me

'til it opens properly

Slow down

Start again from the beginning

I can’t keep my head from spinning out of control

Is this what being vulnerable feels like?

And I will try, try, try to breathe

'til it turns to muscle memory

I’m only steady on my knees

One day I’ll stand on my own two feet

And I’ll run the risk

Of being intimate with brokenness

Through this magnifying glass I see a thousand finger prints

On the surfaces of who I am

Show me

Where to find a silver lining

As the mercury keeps rising

'til the glass on my fever breaks

Show me

How to struggle gracefully

Let the scaffolding inside of me be strong enough to hold this tired body up

Once more

And I will try, try, try to breathe

'til it turns to muscle memory

I feel the pressure in my blood

Building up and liberating me

So I will try, try, try to breathe

'til it turns to muscle memory

I’m only steady on my knees

But one day I’ll stand on my own two feet

And I’ll run the risk

Of being intimate with brokenness

Through this magnifying glass I see a thousand finger prints

I ran the risk

Of being intimate with my brokenness

I was given a gift of hope and a thousand finger prints

On the surfaces of who I am
