Beloved

I am yours
Before I took my first breath
Heard your name pounded out in my mother's chest
I loved it

The first time I saw a bird flying
Freedom
The way the sun
Paints its way into the night sky
Making room for startlight
Reflected back in moonshine
I knew you loved me too
I knew
And I got it tattooed on my body
"Beloved"
Beloved

And when the heavy
Threatened to drown me
I heard your voice
Singing in the breeze
"Peace, Peace"
And I believed
And I learned how to breathe
But my lungs were ahead of me
My lungs already knew
And they called out to you

When I'm flying
Magnificent and wild
And my feet don't touch the ground
When I'm crying
Alone in my car
Frightened as a child going nowhere with the windows down
When I'm fighting back the poison
Keeping it inside
So my words won't wound the one I love
When I'm dissatisfied
When I'm holding my own
Rising with the wave
That's gonna wash away the ugly stains that sorrow made
I am yours
I am yours Beloved
I am yours
I am yours Beloved
Beloved
