Ready to Bruise
(c) 2011

Why do you tell me
That it can’t be done
That attitude’s not fit
For everyone

I crossed the bridge
And now you’re saying jump
But I’m not going back
To where I’ve come from

Which is doubting, wondering, praying,
Hoping for forgiveness, some kindness, assistance,
Resisting my own Power, my knowledge, my inner voice that tells me
You’re not right for me

Now I’m ready to bruise
I'm ready to fall
I'm ready to see how far it is I can go
Being with you is safe like that ship in the harbor
But being awake is what I was born for

When you say that it’s too hard
When you say it’s not in my cards
That is when I have to stop
And extricate myself from the thought

Which is doubting, wondering, praying,
Hoping for forgiveness, some kindness, assistance,
Resisting my own Power, my knowledge, my inner voice that tells me
You’re not right for me

Now I’m ready to bruise
I'm ready to fall
I'm ready to see how far it is I can go
Being with you is safe like that ship in the harbor
But being awake is what I was born for

Why do you tell me
That it can’t be done
That attitude’s not fit
For everyone
