In Spite of All

a lyric to a friend finding herself again

In Spite of All

Leave well enough alone
Don’t pick up the phone
Hold onto you, don’t let go
The skies can flash and can clap
Don’t be off-put, you’ve got the map
Directs you, where you want to go

Spirals where you want to be
Craving planets, set you free
The universe is too small
To hold you while your spirit flies
See the truth, forget the lies
That caused your spirit to fall

The summit is just there, close within your reach
Stretch fingers to the peak, take hold
The well is swelling and the dam’s ‘bout to breach
Time to stand up and be bold

Hold tight to every dream
Forget they conspire and scheme
Fragments from long ago
Night after night they haunt you
Day after day they daunt you
Let them just pass into lost long ago
