Open My Door

(album: Shelter - 2023)

I used to open my door
To pretty much anyone who was trying to look for
A place to feel safe
But I made my whole world safer for everyone but me

So I took my bones and I called them my own
And I found a place inside
That's safe for me
And now I wander the world alone but alive
And smiling on the inside

I'm taking back all the pieces of me
That were taken unwillingly
I'm offering myself up to the heavens
I'm ready to love what I've been given
I'm getting back to my own rhythm
It's such a new kind of living
I'm picking myself up off the carpet
I'm running my hands over my body
I'm back on land welcome to your life, Alice

I used to open my door
To pretty much anyone who was trying to look for
A place to feel safe
But I made my whole world safer for everyone but me
