Poetry: Rainbows

Tap Into All Of This

Why don't you let yourself breathe?

Let some of that steam out of your angry heart

At the surface, everything looks good,

But from your eyes pours heaviness too hard

Breaks my soul to see you so dark

Let some of that go, that crazy tight grip

In your bones, everything gets jammed

Open yourself, let the old dam slip

There's a river that flows deep within you

Cool, blue and effortless

There's a rainbow that glows down inside you

Beautiful and painless

There's an energy stronger than the sun

Powerful and endless

There's all this and more where it's from

Tap into all of this

Why don't you let yourself free?

Let some of the sorrow go on and release

No way to escape lower worlds like these

Too much denial can strengthen disease

Weighs heavy to walk in your shoes

Let go of that burden, that's slowing you down

In your condition, nothing feels right

So shake yourself loose and turn it around

There's a river that flows deep within you

Cool, blue and effortless

There's a rainbow that glows down inside you

Beautiful and painless

There's an energy stronger than the sun

Powerful and endless

There's all this and more where it's from

Tap into all of this

You can argue all you want

But nothing's gonna change

You can put up all your fight

Just be keeping all your pain

You can act like you don't hear me

You can waste another day

But the door is right in front

So get out of your own way cause

There's a river that flows deep within you

Cool, blue and effortless

There's a rainbow that glows down inside you

Beautiful and painless

There's an energy stronger than the sun

Powerful and endless

There's all this and more where it's from

Tap into all of this
