Let Me Be

Let me be

And I’ll suck out the poison on my own time

I’ll suck out the poison on my own precious time

But that wound will still remain

But that wound will still remain

Let me be

The owl shakes his head at me but I do not lose sleep

The owl shakes his head at me and I feel mighty

And the golden eagle cries

And the golden eagle cries

A song of open eyes

A song of open eyes

If I had opened mine

If I had opened mine

But I can’t talk to

I can’t talk to you

I can’t talk you through your pain

And I can’t go back

I can’t live in the past

If I want to be okay

Oh

Let me be

High above the creek where the air is open wide

High above the creek the trees have parted to each side

A highway for an eagle

Bird above and beaver below

Let me be

Alive to all the feelings in my body

Alive to all the plants that I can touch with my skin

Oh let me take the sunlight in

Let me take the sunlight in

Into my open bones

Into my open bones

Had I been more at home

Had I been more at home

Would I have seen the truth

That I can’t talk to you

Well I can’t talk to

I can’t talk to you

I can’t talk you through your pain

And I can’t go back

I can’t live in the past

If I want to be okay

Oh
