This heart of mine is breaking open
is cracking open
is breaking open 
again and again

Is growing wider
and feeling deeper 
is growing wider
again and again

And I know thats how the light gets in
And I know that how more love gets in

Breaking Open (how the light gets in)

Divine Mother
Divine Mother, hold me
So I remember myself as whole and holy

Divine Mother
Divine Mother, hold me
So I remember myself as whole and holy

Hold me in my brokenness
Hold me in my shattered pieces
Show me I am nothing less
than whole and holy 

Drums: Emma Chautia 
Vocals: Alli Caw

Divine Mother

One small tolerable step at a time
One small tolerable step at a time

This is how we heal
This is how we heal
Learning how to feel 
Learning how to feel

Our joy, our rage, our grief, our numbness
Our joy, our rage, and even our fear
We just feel...
One small tolerable step at a time


One small tolerable step
