All it took was one look
One glance and I knew
Everything around me was so real
So vibrant
So full of life
Gleaming, beaming, glowing
Breathing, pumping, flowing
Water and earth and air and fire
All in their element
Free and fierce and gentle
Unashamed
I noticed from the beginning
Your fragmented heart
Trying to hold those heavy pieces
In your bruised and cut up hands
I'm wrapped in bandage
But I can share some of mine
To patch and stitch and mend
Begin to heal, my friend
Let your cheeks fill with color
Wipe the salt stains from your face
Fill your lungs and look above
You will be restored again
