Stretch My Heart Open Wide

Stretch my heart open wide 
Unsure what I’ll unearth 
Jumping into the deep end
For the first time since birth 

Ready for the hard work 
Stretch my heart open wide
Not scratching the surface 
Eager to fully dive inside 

Lived too long on intellect 
Trapped in my head with logic 
Stretch my heart open wide
No equation needed to solve it

Starting to blend body and mind
Beginning to balance each side 
Now living a better life after
Stretching my heart open wide
