Singing My Flight

I've been your mother, been your daughter
been your lover, been your listener
been your Mrs, been your mistress
been your grandmother and sister

I have a right to be right
You've had your day, now this is my night

Finally the time to breathe and unravel the knots in me
Under all these roles
I've been a woman who needs nurturing
I've given everything until my soul was dry and withering
Now I'm pouring water onto all my seeds of possibility

I've walked your talk, now I'm singing my flight

I'm opening my heart to new kinds of love
I'm following the stars and guidance from above
I'm forgiving the hurts that held my captive for so long

In this peace is my power
All the love, I now shower
Onto my garden of dreams
For the world needs my flowers
