Wrap My Love Around You Lyrics

written by Sara Emmitt

I wrap my love around you (x4)

There’s a sweetness in the sorrows

in the pain and the secrets

In this body there are stories

of anguish and sickness

And the truth is 

that these sweet spaces

they just want to be held

So I give you all my heart now

It’s time at last you were felt

(And) I wrap my love around you (x4)

To my sister

my greatest teacher

you are so much stronger 

than you comprehend

So light your fires

and call your forces

I am by your side

till the end

(And) I wrap my love around you (x4)

I stare into the darkness

and within it lies

my greatest teacher

the keeper of my light

So bless this suit of bones

filled with thought, flesh and decay

that someday with dissolve

just to recreate again

We are not the doers

we are containers of light

filling up our bellies

and emptying our minds

So bring me to my wisdom

let these words be seeds of truth

As I pull myself in closely

I allow the birth of my wounds

I allow the birth of my wounds

To my sweet love 

how I miss you

When will you find me again?

And for my father

with strength like water

oh how you’ve taught me to be loved

And to my mother

giving life and thunder

There’s a fierceness in the folds

of your womb

So birth your power

we’ve arrived at the hour

for your tears and your cries

to be heard

I wrap my love around you (x4)

Bring me to the waters

the place from which I came

As I drink upon the nectar

I remember who I am

Oh bring me to my wisdom

let these words be seeds of truth

As I pull myself in closely

I allow the birth of my wounds

I allow the birth of my wounds

For my children

the future wise ones

know that you are always held

And if you’re wounded

and you're hurting

let this love be your salve

I wrap my love around you (x4)
