[Female] I wake with a little more room in my chest, Sunlight is laying its gold where I rest. Nothing to prove to the sky overhead, Life has a love song, I'm learning its breath. Feet on the floor and a hand on my heart, I can begin without knowing each part. Somewhere a bird makes a feast of the dawn; I open the window and let it come on. I've held so much with these beautiful hands, Now they can gather what sweetness expands. I don't need sorrow to sharpen my sight; I can learn something through sheer delight. A laugh in the kitchen, a breeze on my skin, The beautiful ordinary calling me in. I give my senses permission to stay; Pleasure has something worth saying today. Joy is available to me, Wide as the water, wild as the sea. Here in my body, here in my breath, Here in the life I have room to accept. Oh, let it find me enjoying the ride, With my own loving alive on my side. I am allowed to feel wonderfully free; Joy is available, available to me. Mm, let the good come close. Mm, like a sunlit rose. I soften, I savor, I let myself see: So much of the world is still lovely to me. I want the laughter that reaches my belly, Dancing barefoot, a song that gets messy. Salt on my shoulders and wind in my hair, Friends who bring warmth just by being there. A little adventure, a beautiful meal, A moment so tender I stop and I feel. The cat in my lap and the stars coming through, Something familiar made suddenly new. I can be deep and deliciously playful, Spirit and skin at the very same table. Wisdom can smile with a gleam in her eye; I don't have to carry the weight of the sky. Let my devotion have color and motion, Let my affection run warm as an ocean. Let what I treasure be something I live, Receiving the goodness I so love to give. Joy is available to me, Wide as the water, wild as the sea. Here in my body, here in my breath, Here in the life I have room to accept. Oh, let it find me enjoying the ride, With my own loving alive on my side. I am allowed to feel wonderfully free; Joy is available, available to me. I loosen my shoulders, I unclench my palms, Welcome the rhythm beneath all the alarms. Slow is a doorway, and wonder a key; I turn toward what brings aliveness to me. There can be grief and a beautiful morning, There can be change and a new love forming. Every emotion has room to move through; Joy gets a seat at the table here, too. I hear my own laughter and know that it's mine, A clear little bell with a bright little shine. Nobody has to unlock it for me; I can say yes to the afternoon breeze. I can make space for a curious impulse, Follow a melody, dance with my own pulse. Call up a friend, take the long scenic way, Let something lovely become part of my day. Oh, the joy of being here, Of a voice I love to hear. Of a hand that meets my hand, Of a heart that understands. May the love I choose be kind, With a place for all my sides. May our tenderness be real, With the freedom to reveal. And when a beloved walks close beside me, Let there be laughter and room to breathe deeply. Eyes that are present and words that are true, Everyday care in the things that we do. Kisses that linger, adventures we share, Mutual choosing made visible there. I bring a whole heart with a life of its own; Love adds its music to joy I have grown. Joy is available to me, Warm as the sunlight through leaves on a tree. Some days a whisper, some days a roar, I let it arrive without asking for more. Oh, let it find me enjoying the ride, With my own loving alive on my side. I am allowed to feel wonderfully free; Joy is available, available to me. Let there be beauty I haven't imagined, Paths that unfold with a little more magic. Let me be moved by the scent of the rain, Let me enjoy being here once again. I bless the delight that another is finding, Their light can shine while my light keeps shining. We make a little more room when we smile; Kindness can travel for mile after mile. I am the woman who pauses to taste, Who leaves a little unscheduled space. Who hears her own yes and gives it a chance, Who answers a wonderful song with a dance. My life is a garden I get to tend; I welcome the season, the bloom, and the bend. Today has a sweetness I want to receive; I open my hands to the joy here with me. Joy is available to me, I let it be simple, I let it be sweet. A breath and a heartbeat, a beautiful view, Something to cherish, something to do. Oh, let it find me awake to my life, With laughter like lanterns illuminating night. I am allowed to feel wonderfully free; Joy is available, available to me. Mm, this breath, this day. Mm, let my heart play. I savor the goodness. I give it some room. Joy in my living, And living in bloom.
