Open the Sails
I learnt to let my arms float in the air
And let the rush flow with the wind
Cause I was so focused on being great
Putting pressure on myself that I was close to breaking
So when I stretch my hands out
I let go of all the tensions in me
And learn to go with the flow
And bid by the timing of the waves of mother nature
Cause I was always setting sail when the winds were low
Thinking I can just propel myself into the ocean
Forgetting that there's something bigger than me
Something that opens my mind open to unbox my potential
So when I stretch my hands out
I unload the burden onto the winds
So that for once I feel lighter as I came
Not heavy dragging the crate that my mind came in
And in that moment with nature
I learnt to soar above the struggles
And to always have new air in my lungs
So that even when I'm drowning, I've got enough air to push through
