Angels Crossing
Passionworks Lyrics

Knowing it isn't safe but I can't walk
Despite acknowledging the threat, I am unable to move forward.

I'm just waiting for me
I am patiently anticipating the growth and transformation that is to come.

I'm watching but I can't see this world and life
Although observant, I struggle to comprehend the complexity of this existence.

how it's lived
I cannot fully comprehend the human experience and struggle to find my place within it.

My inmost feelings fusing in me
My deepest emotions are consolidating within me, forming a unified force.

and without a shell they're running out somewhere
My emotions are exposed and vulnerable, leaving me feeling exposed and defenseless.

making my soul bare
My essential being is exposed and laid bare for all to see.

Don't watch don't speak I'm learning to live
I am striving to navigate life independently and without the influence of others.

I see I'm incomplete
I acknowledge that I am not yet fully formed and that there is growth yet to come.

Like a newborn I'm preening my feathers still wet
I am tender and new, and must care for myself as I learn and grow.

outside it feels so frightening
The world beyond my own vulnerability can be terrifying and overwhelming.

And in my ear a cruising breeze
I am comforted by the sound of a gentle wind that offers a sense of tranquility and solitude.

it sounds unsafe maybe it takes me there
Though soothing, the sound also inspires fear and apprehension, leading me to unfamiliar and potentially perilous places.

blowing me over
The breeze is strong enough to overpower me, leaving me vulnerable and exposed.

(When) I am here and you are near
In moments where we are close, I feel a sense of support and comfort.

on the darkest road along this stream
During the most challenging times, we are present with each other, traveling a difficult path together.

I have to go this time
I am compelled to continue forward, regardless of the obstacles that may lie ahead.

I know you were the angel crossing
You were the one who guided me through the most difficult moments and provided comfort and guidance.

Here without my shelter I'm nothing at all
Without my defenses, I am vulnerable and exposed, stripped of my sense of self-worth.

but still I'm trying to take it
Despite my vulnerability, I am persevering, striving to find my place in this world.

I'm watching as the others go on living their lives
As I struggle, I observe others living their lives with ease, wondering how they are able to do so.

I wonder how they make it
I am intrigued and puzzled by the apparent ease with which others navigate their lives.

And if it rains I know I will break
During difficult times, I fear that I will be overwhelmed and unable to cope.

And if someone says a word I can't take
I am vulnerable to the slightest criticism or negative comment, which has the power to break me down completely.

I will fall into pieces
The weight of my vulnerabilities and insecurities is too great, and I will crumble under the pressure.

Thru' the darkest I borrow you near
During the most difficult times, I feel your presence and support, which gives me strength and comfort.

And after all the time has gone
As time passes, I reflect on the experiences we have shared and the growth we have both undergone as a result.

we were the angels crossing
Together, we have provided each other with guidance, support, and a sense of purpose and meaning.

Just as I was to dare I stumble and fall
At moments where I feel brave enough to take risks or push beyond my boundaries, I often falter.

But I'm trying to walk thru' the fear in me
Despite my fear and uncertainty, I am striving to persevere and grow.

feeling the angels crossing
I am aware of the profound sense of support and guidance that we provide each other, even as we navigate our own individual challenges.

we'll be the angels crossing
Together, we will continue to offer each other strength, support, and guidance as we both grow and transform.
