Peace in the Middle

It is a down dog day
I don’t mean that in a good way
I am losing control
And I have let myself go
Into a haze where I am triggered by this world
And I am raging while injustices unfurl

I am a broke bone trombone
Screaming angry hollow tones
Tones that tear me up inside
I’m throwing daggers from my eyes
And that is not who I want to be
That is not who I want to be

Let me find peace in the middle
Let me find peace in the middle
Let me find peace
In the middle
Of all things
Let me find grace in the middle
Let me find grace in the middle
Let me find grace
In the middle
Of all things


I thought I had found another way
I’d made space and time to pray
Thought I had buried your transgressions
In a mellow hollow grave
Turns out I buried myself to give you space
Turns out I buried myself to give you space

But I woke up and wanted out
Began to scream began to shout
Some they rallied to my side
Filling me with humble pride
Some tried to push me back in
Said be a good little girl again
But that is not who I’m going to be
That is not who I’m going to be

Let me find peace in the middle
Let me find peace in the middle
Let me find peace
In the middle
Of all things
Let me find grace in the middle
Let me find grace in the middle
Let me find grace
In the middle
Of all things

I see you hurting in your heart
Afraid to stop, afraid to start
Peeling layers from my skin
Wanting to wound the things within
But breaking me will never make you whole

You see I do not want to fight
My heart is peaceful in the night
I have learned to love myself
And learned it well
I am learning everyday
To let it in and let it
Stay

Let me find peace in the middle
Let me find peace in the middle
Let me find peace
In the middle
Of all things
Let me find grace in the middle
Let me find grace in the middle
Let me find grace
In the middle
Of all things
Let me find peace in the middle
Let me find peace in the middle
Let me find peace
In the middle
Of all things
Let me find grace in the middle
Let me find grace in the middle
Let me find grace
In the middle
Of all things
