jump into the water

I met a kind woman, she’s lived several lives 

wells of wisdom in her eyes

She poured me a cup of tea

And said peace was never born quietly 

Since then I’ve spent most nights awake 

Tasting forgiveness, reliving mistakes

Disconcerted aiming for a straight line

Incongruent universes in my mind 

I hear her say

Jump into the water 

There’s nothing done, dear

that can’t be washed away 

Jump into the water 

Jump into the water 

I’m a vesper prayer, one tired try 

I dream of dancing in the valley til my tears dry 

Transcend the monstrosity in me

regret lingers here but I found the key

I hear her say

Jump into the water 

There’s nothing done, dear

that can’t be washed away 

Jump into the water 

Jump into the water 

I’ve been wasting time, cursing the sky

When it’s the river who will carry me to the light

I hear her say

Jump into the water 

There’s nothing done, dear

that can’t be washed away 

Jump into the water 

Jump into the water
