Lyric

There were years I held the door

Shut against the world outside

Thought if nothing entered in

Then nothing there could hurt my life

But lonely has a quiet cost

Silence asks for too much space

And walls can keep out pain so well

They keep out love the same

I’m learning fear and freedom

Never lived too far apart

Wide open heart

Under a wide open sky

I don’t need to know the ending

To let the light inside

Wide open heart

No armor left to wear

I’d rather feel a little pain

Than never feel what’s there

There are scars that still get soft

When certain memories arrive

But they don’t own tomorrow now

They only prove I survived

I can love in slower ways

I can trust in smaller starts

Sometimes bravery is simply

Showing up with all your heart

Maybe healing isn’t hiding

Maybe healing is to start

Wide open heart

Under a wide open day

I don’t need a perfect future

To believe in it today

Wide open heart

Nothing left to prove

I spent years trying not to break?

Now I’m trying how to bloom

If the sky can hold the weather

I can hold my changing too

If the sun returns each morning

I can learn to trust that truth

Wide open heart

Under a wide open sky

I’ve been waiting all this time

To meet myself alive

Wide open heart

I’m finally standing here

With every road that made me strong

And every reason not to fear

Wide open heart
