Downstream ft. Meenadchi Lyrics

Love is meant to flow downstream, from big person to little person

This doesn't mean that little person shouldn't love big person

This means that when little person is little, they're meant to be little

They're not meant to take care of a big person

They're not meant to shape their life path around the unfulfilled dreams of a big person

The career that big person didn't get to pursue

The love that big person didn't get to choose

The light that big person didn't get to shine

But when trauma happens, the big person can forget how to be big

They become little, and in turn the little person quickly learns how to become big

Little person chooses the career that would make the big person happy

Chooses the marriage that would bring the big person relief

The little person begins to dim their own light, so that the big person gets to feel bright

Love flows to me easily, and I receive it joyfully

Love flows easily, and I receive it joyfully

Love flows to me easily, and I receive it joyfully

But the healthiest version of your big person and all the big people who came before them wouldn't want you to stop your shine

Doesn't need you to hold their wounds

Wouldn't want you to reshape your dreams

Love flows easily

The healthiest version of you is the one who doesn't try to hold the baggage of those who came before

(Love flows to me easily and I receive it joyfully)

This opens the field for trauma to be integrated into our system

So that trauma no longer feels like the defining factor of our story

We define our story

What are the beliefs that are rooted in trauma and what are the beliefs that are rooted in truth?

Love flows easily

Do I have a distinction between trauma and truth?

Love flows to me easily and I receive it joyfully

Love flows easily and I receive it joyfully

Love flows to me easily and I receive it joyfully

Life would be dreamy if we felt safe to receive, safe to be seen, safe to just be

Reality can be a bitter contrast to our dreams

But what are we here for if not to become those dreamy beings?

Love flows to me easily

Our ancestors gave us beliefs that guided them towards their version of safety

Being able to play by the rules was safety

Not rocking the boat was safety

Moving through the world unseen was safety

Is that the safety we seek?

Or do we have new definitions we of safety we want to bring into our community?

Love flows to me easily and I receive it joyfully

Love flows to me easily and I receive it joyfully

Love flows easily and I receive it joyfully

The purpose of examining our beliefs is not to deny their wisdom

Or to discard their truth

The purpose is to know where they came from, whose definition of safety those beliefs are rooted in

So that we can move with clarity towards building the reality we choose

A reality where it is safe to receive

A reality where it is safe to be seen

A reality where we experience the freedom and simplicity of abundantly being

Love flows to me easily and I receive it joyfully

Love flows easily and I receive it joyfully

Love flows to me easily and I receive it joyfully

What are the words you use to talk about what you deserve?

What are the words you use to describe your sense of worth?

How do you capture into language an essence which goes beyond what can be shaped in one lifetime?

How would your words change

Love flows to me easily

As you understood 10 lifetimes of lineages

Love flows easily

Flowing towards you with love?

Love flows to me easily

How would your healing shape itself

Love flows easily

As you imagined 20 lifetimes of lineages flowing from you with trust?

Whose words do you use to understand the beauty of your worth?

What is the terminology you use to shape the texture of your people's dreams?

Where do you find yourself becoming the fabric of their seams?

Love flows to me easily and I receive it joyfully

Love flows easily and I receive it joyfully

Love flows to me easily and I receive it joyfully

And I receive it joyfully and I receive it joyfully

Is this belief mine?

Is this belief one I want to carry?

Is this belief mine?

Is this belief one I want to carry?
