These past two months Your Song has been doing deep work in community with women- journaling, songwriting, singing and laughing. Here is a snippet of a song from our second day at The Ohio Reformatory for Women with and songwriting partner,
“Time to Be Seen” by ORW
The outsider on the sidelines
I give up before I start(ed)
Surrounded by many
never truly finding peace
Trying to keep it all together
what needs to fall apart
skies change from the darkness
a spark of light ignites in me
Chorus:
Now I see I am a warrior
The good the bad the in between.
It’s time to be seen. I am here.
There’s a bigger picture meant for me
Verse:
I am overcoming
a path of healing and forgiveness
push me away, it’s okay
you will come and find me someday
guilty in the midst of
gratefulness..
Life ain’t easy
Gotta give it all ya got
Chorus:
Now I see I am a warrior
The good the bad the in between.
It’s time to be seen. I am here.
There’s a bigger picture meant for me
Bridge:
I’m the one to break the chains
A good life, a fresh start
Prisons and death are
no longer my way out
Couldn’t do it on my own
Where I’m going is unknown
only God knows
And I know I’m not alone
