Feelin' Alive

lyric

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 5 months ago 1 min read

Verse 1

There’s a scent in the soil when the morning breaks

And the taste of the chocolate, the time that it takes

To watch the wildflowers lean into the gale

And feel the cold creek water, silver and pale

Chorus

Oh, I’m feeling alive in the small and the true

Waking up to the world in a shade of new blue

Breathing it deep as my guard starts to fall

In this life that I’m living, I’m feeling it all

Verse 2

I catch the loose laughter that drifts through the day

And I hold to that warmth in a permanent way

Moving so steady, no longer afraid

To rest in the light that the simple things made

Chorus

Oh, I’m feeling alive in the small and the true

Waking up to the world in a shade of new blue

Breathing it deep as my guard starts to fall

In this life that I’m living, I’m feeling it all

Bridge

I’ll stand in the hush while the heavy world rushes

I’ll carry the briars along with the blushes

Staying wide open to the pulse at my feet

To the rhythm of being, bitter and sweet

Chorus

Oh, I’m feeling alive in the small and the true

Waking up to the world in a shade of new blue

Breathing it deep as my guard starts to fall

In this life that I’m living, I’m feeling it all

Outro

Just a small, true thing...

Waking up...

In the life I’m living now.
