Ashes to Grace

I let them cross

the boundary lines

I stayed silent through the pain

I hid behind

those quiet signs

And let them take my light again

I stood there while

they built their wall

And apologized for where I stood

I didn't think

I'd care at all

To treat myself the way I should

Dear self I am so sorry now

For all the weights I let you bear

I'm finding grace to heal somehow

And learning how to show I care (so sorry now)

I'm writing down

these honest words

To wash away the dusty years

To heal the heart

that finally learns

To love itself through all the tears

Dear self I am so sorry now

For all the weights I let you bear

I'm finding grace to heal somehow

And learning how to show I care (yeah,

I care) Giving myself some grace (hmmmm)
