cradle Lyrics

Wipe my thoughts away from every single pain in growing up

Clutching onto moments, but my grip won't seem to hold enough

Tired and I'm folding up

Tryna find the weight of better days to carry me up

Seesawing through all the fucking waves, the pendulum comes

And retreated just like the sun

The evening wind chimed to bury the love

I buried and sunk

Never thought that I could ever see the place that carried my grudge

I carried it up

I'm tryna be something greater

The root of the rough changing

The who and the what

But I'm cradled by love

I'm tryna be something greater

The root of the rough changing

The who and the what

But I'm cradled by love

I sent five prayers a month

Hoping that when you see them the happiness is strong enough to lift you up

Put half of it in the ashes, the other turning to dust

Saw you last in the moon so I stay away from the dusk

Keep the cocoon plated for those with the guns hating

I move when it comes, faded, I knew when to jump

The moment we hug can very well turn into the only ruin for us

Embracing the dark changes while I

I'm tryna be something greater

The root of the rough changing

The who and the what

But I'm cradled by love

I'm tryna be something greater

The root of the rough changing

The who and the what

But I'm cradled by love

I'm cradled by love

Love is a condition so powerful it may be that which holds the stars in the firmament

It may be that which pushes and urges the blood in the veins

Courage... You have to have courage to love somebody

Because you risk everything

Everything

-Maya Angelou
