Holding Ourselves Up To Another Kind of Freedom

We cannot stare too deep
into the games we're playing.
We cannot stand too close
to the dragons they're slaying.

We erase markings of scars
that have haunted in a 
mighty river of truth

'Cause we are 
vibing hearts
connecting minds
exchanging words
sharing the shine

and one day,
we will know
truly know how
beautiful 
and safe it 
is to be 
loved
