Weathered By Life Mindblown By Beauty
[Female] I've had mornings that arrived like heavy rain, Held my own heart through the hurricane. Learned how to breathe when the room felt small, Found a little music in the wreck of it all. Now the light slips gold through a curtain seam, And I stop halfway through an ordinary thing. Something in that quiet brings me to my knees— How can a world this wild be this sweet? Salt on my skin, wind tangling my hair, Bare feet remembering the earth is there. I don't need every wound to explain its worth; I can hurt and still be in love with Earth. A bird lifts off from a broken limb, And the whole sky opens to welcome him. I feel that flutter underneath my ribs— There's so much living left to live. [Female] Weathered by life, mindblown by beauty, Look what the light keeps doing to me. I've cried rivers; I still love the sea. I've known sorrow; wonder still finds me. Oh, let it move me, let it undo me, A thousand small miracles blooming through me. With all I've carried, I'm still open wide— Mindblown by beauty, weathered by life. [Female] There's a woman laughing with her whole face, There's a tired man offering somebody grace. There's a dog asleep with her head on my knee, Like the safest place in the world is me. And I hold that trust like a sacred flame; Love doesn't always arrive with a name. Sometimes it stretches, then sighs in its sleep, And something guarded softens deep. I used to think I'd need a different life, A perfect ending and a clearer sky. But a coconut moon on the water tonight Has me forgetting what I thought I'd find. The waves keep coming; the dock ropes sing. My shoulders loosen without reasoning. No grand announcement, no thunder above— Just this warm body remembering love. [Female] Weathered by life, mindblown by beauty, Look what the light keeps doing to me. I've cried rivers; I still love the sea. I've known sorrow; wonder still finds me. Oh, let it move me, let it undo me, A thousand small miracles blooming through me. With all I've carried, I'm still open wide— Mindblown by beauty, weathered by life. [Female] Oh, the ache and the awe can share one chest. I can miss what I lost and receive what's next. There's room for the tears, there's room for delight, For the soft little yes that returns overnight. I don't owe my pain a beautiful disguise. Some days I just rest and let the sun rise. Some days a flower by a cracked concrete wall Is enough to remind me I belong here at all. And beauty isn't asking me to earn my place; It touches the lines time left on my face. Every laugh, every season, every sleepless night— I bring my whole history into the light. The girl I was reaches through the years; I let her be amazed, I let her be here. We watch a dragonfly hover, then disappear, And laugh at how wonder can catch us unaware. [Female] Maybe remembrance feels something like this: A breath coming home, an unhurried kiss. The soul getting quiet enough to perceive How much tenderness a moment can keep. I call it holy when my heart comes awake, When I find room to give and the courage to take. When a friend says, "Come on, there's a sunset to see," And the sky makes a speechless believer of me. No need to hurry the feeling away; Let the rose-colored clouds have the rest of the day. Let the music find somewhere tender to land, Let me dance with my life taking hold of my hand. I have weather in me, I have wilderness too, And a hunger for colors I haven't walked through. If joy comes knocking with mud on its feet, I'll open the door; there's a place here to eat. [Female] Weathered by life, mindblown by beauty, Look what the light keeps doing to me. I've cried rivers; I still love the sea. I've known sorrow; wonder still finds me. Oh, let it move me, let it undo me, A thousand small miracles blooming through me. With all I've carried, I'm still open wide— Mindblown by beauty, weathered by life. [Female] Let me be here for the violet hour, For the rain's clean scent and the unnamed flower. For the ridiculous laugh I couldn't hold in, For the way warm water feels on my skin. Let me grow older with wonder intact, Keep finding reasons to stop in my tracks. A heart can be weathered and tender and free. Look at this beautiful life meeting me. Oh, let it move me. Oh, let it bloom. There's still a whole sky Inside this room. I breathe, I soften, I open my eyes— Mindblown by beauty. Still loving this life.
