Standing barefoot on the shore,
the black of the sky and the black of the sea,
I only came to find some peace,
But now I’m frightened of this space
And rooted to this place.
Waking Woman of the Heart,
I climbed to the edge, and journeyed within.
Flying kites and grounded shoes,
How can I see for miles and still feel so blind?
Always reaching and always searching
Never knowing that I was going too far,
Too far away from home.
(chorus)
Now I’m free to laugh and free to cry
Free to smile and not say why
Free to stay and free to go
Free to stand on things I know
I’m free to fall and free to dance
Free to touch and take a chance on love
Of the heart…Waking Woman of the Heart.
I wonder just how many times
I’ve pulled back the reins for fear of the race?
So many chances never played,
How many lovers and how many friends?
Stop the talking and start the listening
Stop the walking and start the living again.
Living my own life.
Chorus
Time to listen and time to dream
What I’m living is what I’ve seen in my mind.
I’ve seen it in my mind.
