Rachel Rynick - Roots Lyrics

It's getting late
The days pull one into another
Still I wait, the ever loved beloved daughter
Over by the darkest corners of my mind
Terror cries, "I want I want I want I want...
Nothing to change
Nothing to break the rhythms of my days
Give me a sign that my loss will never find me"
Oh, the day is short
And oh, the night is long
But I am trying to roll with the punches, with the punches
Some day will I have found a quiet piece of ground?
Where I can hear my heartbeat whisper
"Time to let go, let go, let go"
These bones are strong
They've carried me through all these years
Safe at home with walls to block out all my fears
Breaking down the cycles that I keep repeating
Will I find a beaten heart can keep on beating?
Oh, the day is short
And oh, the night is long
But I am trying to roll with the punches, with the punches
Some day will I have found a quiet piece of ground?
Where I can hear my heartbeat whisper
"Time to let go, let go..."
While over by the darkest corners of my mind
The fear will cry, "I want I want I want I want..."
'Cause oh, the day is short
And oh, the night is long
But I am learning to roll with the punches, with the punches
Some day will I have found these roots can hold the ground?
And I will hear my heartbeat whisper
"Time to let go, let go, let go"
I think I'm ready now
Can I be ready now?
Every breath is one more chance to let go, let go, let go, let go
Let go, let go, let go, let go
