Anchored
I look back at 2020 and realise
I'm not the same person post pandemic
I grew like a mother about to give birth
Labour pains
Deep breaths
I swallow and it hurts
But then something happened
With one sharp contraction
I started to bury all the distractions
And in a fraction of a moment
A blink of an eye
I became a butterfly
I left my problems at the seashore
I dipped my feet in the water
It was so pure
And I looked out at God's creation
With a gulp in my throat
Feet soaked
In awe of everything I thought
I knew before
But with new discernment
With new wisdom
Looking through a new prism
I was made new
I outgrew you
I outgrew the little me,
I left her in 2020
But she visits me from time to time
Like a nursery rhyme I used to sing
My lips know the song
I sing along but hum through the parts
That caused me pain
Or the ones I miss
Life's moving fast, it's scary
I wanna hold onto this tightrope
But my water broke
And it's time to birth something new again.
Something I gotta trust I'm ready for
What if I fall?
What if I fly?
Expectation, elevation, emancipation
I'm anchored, for your glory
Time for another story
I'm not the same person post pandemic
I grew like a mother about to give birth
Labour pains
Deep breaths
I swallow and it hurts
But then something happened
With one sharp contraction
I started to bury all the distractions
And in a fraction of a moment
A blink of an eye
I became a butterfly
I left my problems at the seashore
I dipped my feet in the water
It was so pure
And I looked out at God's creation
With a gulp in my throat
Feet soaked
In awe of everything I thought
I knew before
But with new discernment
With new wisdom
Looking through a new prism
I was made new
I outgrew you
I outgrew the little me,
I left her in 2020
But she visits me from time to time
Like a nursery rhyme I used to sing
My lips know the song
I sing along but hum through the parts
That caused me pain
Or the ones I miss
Life's moving fast, it's scary
I wanna hold onto this tightrope
But my water broke
And it's time to birth something new again.
Something I gotta trust I'm ready for
What if I fall?
What if I fly?
Expectation, elevation, emancipation
I'm anchored, for your glory
Time for another story
