Always

Lyrics

[Beverly Glenn-Copeland, Elizabeth Glenn-Copeland, Beverly Glenn-Copeland & Elizabeth Glenn-Copeland, spoken] Blessed am I to be loved by you Blessed am I to be loved by you Blessed am I to be loved by you Two-spirited are you A prophet pregnant with proof of human possibility Two-spirited are you Your life a crucible of chemically creating human gold In awe I witness as you breathe freedom into rigid definitions of Yin and Yang You hold two worlds like the sky holds the stars Surely and with reverence In your arms I feel heaven In your presence I know grace Blessed am I to be loved by you Blessed am I to be loved by you I am a tall tree growing Leaves erupting Roots burrowing deep Feasting in fragrant earth I am a constellation Pegasus flying Gods crying Sacred wonder With you beside me I hear the heavens With you behind me I dance in joy Blessed am I to be loved by you Blessed am I to be loved by you In the silver-flecked night Orion's arrow flies true Shattering shards of pain into orange sun rays Blessed am I to be loved by you Blessed am I If I am frightened will you catch me when I fall? Always Catch me when I fall Always Always Let me nod to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments Love is not true love which alters When an alteration finds or bends with the remover to remove Oh no It is an ever-fixed mark that looks upon tempests and is never shaken Never shaken Oh great dreamer who art our eternal mother Hallowed be thy flame Thy rapture come Thy songs be song Enjoy at thy simple wonder Give us this day, our daily breath And forgive us our hubris As we forgive that which makes us complicit And lead us not into extinction but deliver us from further benumbment For thine is the history and the mystery and the moral Forever and ever and ever And lead us not into extinction but deliver us from further benumbment For thine is the history and the mystery and the moral Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever May we remember your beauty May we remember your beauty May we imagine a glorious and just future May we imagine a glorious and just future Blessed are we to be loved by you Blessed are we to be loved by you Blessed are we to be loved by you Who every day makes it all brand new Oh, my beloved Come to me Come to me and sing as only you can I open up my arms Come to me And sing
