Allowed to Be

If I had to get to where you were,
I wouldn't ever stop, no matter just how far
And if I had to get to you by way of boat
Wouldn't ever stop, no matter sink or float
Now I see there's a side of me
That changes when I'm allowed to be
Overcome with a sense of self
Worrying that I'm not enough
If I had to ride through the eye of God
Wouldn't ever stop, till I got to the other side

Come to the edge and stop, what do you see?
Take a step backwards until you feel at ease
Now it's time to be more than alive
The differences that you set aside
Leaving space for as time to create
The things you need just to operate
I want you to show me
I want you to show me how to be
Now I see there's a side of me
That changes when I'm allowed to be

Overcome with a sense of self
Worrying that I'm not enough
I want you to show me I'm allowed to be
I want you to tell me that I wouldn't break if I was allowed to be
