Breaking Open Lyrics

written by Sara Emmitt

How does the heart still beat

when it’s shattering into pieces unknown?

And how does love still win 

when the losses become too heavy to hold?

Who lives behind your eyes?

Who is it that decides

it’s time to let go?

It’s time to let go

Let the wind take you

Let the earth shake you

And the water that makes you

gives you life to create you

again and again and again

It is you that creates you 

again and again

Did you tell her

how beautiful she is?

Did she remind you 

how much you have to give?

Did you both wake up 

and forget what you’re meant to do?

Did you realize 

how much you had to lose?

Did you tell her

did you tell her

how beautiful she is?

When you held her

did you let her love pull you back in?

Did you fear her unwielded power

her shadow and her light?

Did you reach for her 

as she slipped into the night?

Let the wind take you

let the earth shake you

let the pain break you

open wide

break you open wide

Break you open wide 

to make room for the light

to make room for new light (x2)

Thank you for all the 

love you poured over me

It is your sweet love

that helped to set me free

I’ve got my wings now

and I’m gonna fly away

but that doesn't mean 

I won’t still love you everyday
