swallow sparrow - linda strawberry lyrics
when you are young
you fly close to danger
you try to test the darkness
to prove you aren’t afraid
but i flew too reckless
i had been too sheltered
i thought of violence like a movie
all those lines in books i read
but when the punch connects
and you feel your body breaking
it is nothing that you could ever antic-p-te
i tried hard to swallow
but the blood was too thick
i flew up like a sparrow
but i smacked back into the wall
tried to cover up in that hollow
but the flames engulfed it
and i watched my body slowly burn
right down to the bone
when wind blew apart my ash
in that endless form
i felt the expansive presence of god
the infinite
and i was born anew
with a spine of steel
and empathy for those who suffer
now i know i know nothing
so i pray for patience
i don’t need all the answers
i just want to be a part of the love
