Written To Give Courage To Those In Need

Ive seen the sleeping giants destroy the darkest violence
Threw prayer and willful silence, White Light born of thunder
Ignite dark lands down under, Return to us our wonder
Of the magic left lost

The Giants told me of the fear, that followed weeping willow here, 
And took from root the food and water, to trade at the high kings table of slaughter, Who lived within the peoples minds, and nightmares spoke riddles and rhymes, till tales took form in the sacred wood, crooked clouds in the eyes and the bursting flood, When we become our only enemy we disregard the teachings of the trees, The wind will show us how to breath, When we surrender with White Light entities, Hibernate collect all of your energy, Till the moment when you learn how to break free, From the crooked cages of our minds, its in these shadows that truth we find, Our blood is where our power resides, Its ok if you gota take a moment to hide, But realign come on take your time, Sumtimes we just need to unwind, Its in your heart where healing lyes, Just tilt your chest towards the sky,

There will always be dark days to come, but there is no need to run
This battle you've already won, you will heal my love, With the power of the sun

Some of us Have forgotten who we are, Aint living our legend, Jus wishing on stars, So we sink into pits of despair, Giving permission to the shadows to nest in our hair, Stuck in the quick sands of time stands still lands, Flapping our lips for the what ifs or has beens, Lies turn true in denials blood stream, We've fallen asleep in someone elses dream, Its time to wake up to the fire in the sky, If we never acknowledge our wings then well never learn how to fly, we must sever old habits let old cycles die, grow the seeds of our soul from the waters in our eyes, its good to cry if it helps you to flow, Now take a deep breath jump and let go...
