10 Things (Live) Lyrics

The person in the mirror is not you because you are the sum total of the many versions

Of you

Versions of who you were who you are and in the reflection of your eyes are the hopes

Of who you could become

So here are ten things to aid your becoming

This too shall pass

So with time healeth all love is his ointment of choice

So apply generously apply without relent

Two trauma is an inheritance we are a generation that wears our hearts on our sleeves

And so our arms will bleed from the wounds our parents never got to heal from

But you must forgive them and be patient because they are learning too and fear makes

us do the craziest of things

Three you do not draw from what seems like a well because depth cannot be imitated

and there can be no substitute for the refreshness of living waters

Four you do not pour into a broken vessel because you need relief if they had the answers

You seek perhaps they wouldn't be broken too

Five protect your peace everyone wants it but only a few would ever give it to you freely

Six people are more fragile than they care to admit not everyone can carry the emotional

Burden that you now normalise

So when people give themselves to you handle with care

Seven lead with your heart it takes courage to face your fears but it takes love to emerge

Whole and unbroken

Eight you see pain is not a trophy to display and endurance is not a sign of strength

Suffering at the expense of your health will kill you even fish will drown in bad waters

Nine you must learn to receive love it is not kindness to deny yourself the gift that

You so freely give to others you are worthy of love

Ten forgiveness is a two-way street and guilt is a gluten that will eat you whole

So you must learn to forgive yourself you are not your mistakes and who you were is

not as important as who you could become

So live as someone who understands what it means to be alive just live

I saw the glory must have made a memory form cause I remember how they lied on me could

Have died on the ground but died on me it's cold out here trying to keep my soul out

Here I think of when they tried to take my will but I kept on cruising made it off the

Spills I said hallelujah no one can help I said hallelujah cause all the glory is

Cause of no one else no one else no one else cause all the glory glory no one else

No one else all the glory is cause
