The Honey in the Sting

Now here's a funny thing, there's honey in the sting
In the heart of the wreckage, there's treasure therein
Spin gold from the darkness, buds shoot from the carnage
As you are reborn, like a rose amongst the thorns

How do we feel compassion without knowing pain
How do we learn forgiveness without being betrayed
With the opportunity for the biggest shift
So our deepest wound becomes the greatest gift
So our deepest wound becomes the greatest gift
So our deepest wound... becomes the greatest gift

When our tide has gone out, our bare beach is revealed
Stripped back to the debris that needs to be healed
Breath deep into your heart, transform all in the fire
Refocus your intent upon your innermost desires

Sure without the pain, life would have been easier
But I know I would have turned out shallower
This journey has made me who I am today
'Get bitter or get better' is what we say
'Get bitter or get better' is what we say
'Get bitter or get better'... is what we say

As you purge your bitterness, and drop the victim lens,
Transmuting poisons in a cover all cleanse
Join your wound and desire in a symbiotic union
Conceive a juice within, fuel your dreams to begin

Reclaim your essence, its time to emerge and shine
Birth your healing, art and song, and find your tribe
Let your flowers blossom and your fruits become ripe
Lets all share the harvest, and celebrate life
Lets all share the harvest, and celebrate life
Lets all share the harvest... and celebrate life
