Let Me Be Open

Let me be open And ready to receive Bring back the joy I used to have as a kid Let me unravel The threads I’ve pulled too tight Fear is a whisper That lingers in my mind Let me be open And ready to receive Bring back the joy I used to have as a kid Help me remember How wonder feels inside Feels like my shadow Needs a place to hide Let me be open And ready to receive Bring back the joy I used to have as a kid Out of the silence A softer voice appears Reminding me gently Not to be ruled by fear
