Just Breathe - cover

Written by Ari Harris, 2022

V 1:
I squinted at the darkness
Desperate for the light
A silhouette of a future
Confirming this was right
I squinted at the darkness
A reflection of within
Defenses drenched in sadness
Don’t know where to begin 

PC 1: 
So I looked to East
Waiting for some peace

V 2:
He squinted at the darkness
Heart aching and alone
His furrowed brow’s increasing lines
Were judgments held with pride
He squinted at the darkness
A reflection of within
Words he wished were taken back
Were weighing down on him

PC 2:
So he looked to the East
Waiting for some peace

CH 1:
We used to be together 
Squinting at the dark
Hand in hand 
We thought we’d light the way

Bridge:
The fog rolled in between us
It burnt us at the touch
Reawakened all the pain
Suffocated love
We mirrored to each other
The darkness felt inside
Rejecting our reflection,
I watched him drive away
And I cried, to say goodbye

V 3:
We are squinting at the darkness 
Each in our own place
With hours in between us now, 
We have to find our way
We’re squinting at the darkness
A reflection of the end
The crumbled fragments of our hearts
And the life that we had planned

PC 3:
So we look to the East
Waiting for some peace

CH 2:
We used to be together 
Squinting at the dark
Heart to heart 
We thought we’d light the way

PC 4:
So we look to the East
Yearning for some peace

CH 3:
Seeking a horizon
Hoping it will come
Will we ever see the light again
Will we ever see the light again 
Will we see the light again

“Here on the Ground (The Labyrinth Song)”

V1:
Stones laid before me, uneven puzzle pieces in the ground
Each step that I move forward, I’m witnessing the path become unwound

PreCh:
It curves and turns then curves again, I walk alone
Facing all the unknowns as they come

CH:
Here on the ground, I’m no longer in the clouds
My feet are earthbound, I am on the ground
Making my way through the labyrinth of my life
And learning all there is along the way

V2:
Rain starts to fall from far above, the moss is like a sponge between the stones
I sit down on a boulder, the crocus at my feet, birds are singing welcome to the spring

V3:
I see where I have been before and I wont go back again. I am at the center and my eyes are opening
The spirits whisper guidance and they all want me to know. I am ready for the journey back outside

PreCh

CH

BR:
When the path leads me on a different way and I don’t know where I am
It’s hard to get my sights back on my dreams
But I look around me at the trees and I hear the singing in the breeze
And I find my strength to somehow carry on

CH

“Celebrate”
Written by Ari Harris, 2022

Ch:
Celebrate the shadows
Where the pain remains
And rise up through the cracks
Made along the way

V: 
Times been heavy 
I’ve been heavy
Feeling low to grow

Ch

V: 
deep shaking rumble
Thunder of change
Brings the strongest to their knees
Unexpectedly

Ch:

Bridge:
And surrender to the things that we don’t know
Find comfort in the chaos
And power in the lows
The dark and light
The dim and bright
Their balancing 
Is everything to me 

Ch:

Outro:
And I know, and I know, do I know? I’ll be okay?
