I built a wall so high no one could reach
A life of locks, I swallowed all the keys
I was petrified, only knew how to hide
They can’t hurt me, if they don’t know me
I full façade, made a mirage out of me
Then you came and started diggin’ for a treasure underneath
And you found a better version of me I had never seen
Into me you see
Into me you see
You broke me wide open
Open sesame
Into me you’ll see
Into me you’ll see
You got me wide open
Now I’m ready
Is this intimacy?
I was a ship floating aimlessly
So camouflaged, was my own worst enemy
But then you came in like a sailor with a heart that anchored me
And every day I wake up grateful I’m no longer lost at sea
Into me you see
Into me you see
You broke me wide open
Open sesame
Into me you’ll see
Into me you’ll see
You got me wide open
Now I’m ready
Is this intimacy?
Oh, cause no one’s ever seen me like this
Seen right through the bullshit
I pray that I can keep unfolding
Pray that I can just stay open
Just stay open
Just stay open
Just stay open
Oh, cause you broke me wide open
Open sesame
Into me you’ll see
Into me you’ll see
You got me wide open
Now I’m ready
This is intimacy
I can feel it happening, happening
I can feel it happening, happening
I can feel it
Can’t go with the flow, got to make waves
Even though, I look at the sand and I’m just one grain
But my intuition says there’s a bigger mission I must embrace
So I’m, I’m pushing my thoughts to a new place
I’m kicking and screaming
‘Cause it won’t be easy
To break all the patterns
If I’m not evolving
I’m just another robot
Taking up oxygen
It’s something bigger than me
I can feel it beginning
Something bigger than me
That I can feel it opening
Tried to ignore it
But it keeps on growing
Out of control
It’s something bigger than me
And I can feel it happening
So I’ll speak my truth though my voice shakes
Try to summon the strength to look fear in the face
But I’m kicking and screaming
‘Cause it won’t be easy
To break all the patterns
If I’m not evolving
I’m just another robot
Taking up oxygen
It’s something bigger than me
I can feel it beginning
Something bigger than me
That I can feel it opening
Tried to ignore it
But it keeps on growing
Out of control
It’s something bigger than me
And I can feel it happening
Happening
I can feel it happening, happening
I can feel it happening, happening
I can feel it happening
I can feel it, I can feel it
I can feel it happening
It’s something bigger than me
Something bigger than me
That I can feel it opening
Tried to ignore it
But it keeps on growing
Out of control
It’s something bigger than me
And I can feel it happening
(Happening)
I can feel it (happening)
I can feel it (happening)
I can feel it (happening)
(I can feel it)I can feel it happening, happening
I can feel it happening, happening

So I’m, I’m pushing my thoughts to a new place

When I run too fast, slow me down
When I run to far, turn me around
Sometimes life becomes an endless waste
Sometimes love can’t stand the lonely pace.
Each day goes by much too fast
Tomorrow soon becomes the past
Lost in struggle I’m making my way
Not taking time enough to simply say:
I love you, forgive me
I know it’s been a while
I love you, I wanna stop the world
And make you smile.
Too many days I forgot to take your time
To say I love you and thank you for being mine
Those simple words I sometimes forget to say
We’ll be on my lips at the wake of each new day.
I love you …
But you know I love you
I wanna stop the world and make you smile
If it’s not too late to make you smile.

This is a song for every girl who’s
Ever been through something
She thought she couldn’t make it through
I sing these words because
I was that girl too
Wanting something better than this
But who do I turn to?
Now we’re moving from the darkness into the light
This is the defining moment of our lives
‘Cause you’re beautiful like a flower
More valuable than a diamond
You are powerful like a fire
You can heal the world with your mind
There is nothing in the world that you cannot do
When you believe in you, who are beautiful
Yeah you, who are brilliant
Yeah you, who are powerful
Yeah you, who are resilient
This is a song for every girl who
Feels that she is not special
‘Cause she don’t look like a supermodel Coke bottle
The next time the radio tells you to shake your moneymaker
Shake your head and tell them, tell them you’re a leader
Now we’re moving from the darkness into the light
This is the defining moment of our lives
‘Cause you’re beautiful like a flower
More valuable than a diamond
You are powerful like a fire
You can heal the world with your mind
There is nothing in the world that you cannot do
When you believe in you, who are beautiful
Yeah you, who are brilliant
Yeah you, who are powerful
Yeah you, who are resilient
Yeah you, who are beautiful
Yeah you, who are brilliant
Yeah you, who are powerful
Yeah you, who are resilient
Yeah you, this song is for you
Yeah you, this song is for you
Yeah you, this song is for you
Yeah you, yeah you
You are brilliant
Love would be easy if you always said the right thing
Love would be easy if you never had to think about
How somebody else would feel
So go and live the life of strangers
Put a mask on
Dance around the dangers
And never look behind your lover’s face
So I’ll never have the chance to give you grace
It’s in the fights and falls working through it all
When you’re not afraid to climb another wall
When you speak the truth that you used to hide
Seems like you’re crossing to the other side
But then I follow you so you’re not alone
Then I wrap my arms around you and take you home
And say it’s okay, it’s okay if love is that hard
That’s how we find out who we really are
What you’re going through, I go through all that too
What you’re going through, is nothing short of why I fell in love with you
So go and lay there in the shadows
Like an outcast too messed up to deal with
But what you think is broken is what I need
Yeah that’s the stuff that’s gonna heal the brokenness in me
It’s in the fights and falls working through it all
When you’re not afraid to climb another wall
When you speak the truth that you use to hide
Seems like you’re crossing to the other side
But then I follow you so you’re not alone
Then I wrap my arms around you and take you home
And say it’s okay, it’s okay if love is that hard
That’s how we find out who we really are
That’s how we find out who we really are
It’s in the fights and falls working through it all
Just to get it back you would scratch and crawl
When you speak the truth that you used to hide
Seems like there’s no way to get off this ride
But then I follow you so you’re not alone
Then I wrap my arms around you and take you home
And say it’s okay, it’s okay if love is that hard
Say it’s okay, it’s okay if love is that hard
That’s how we find out who we really are
It’s how we find out who we really are
