Lyrics
I hope you save
Or hold nothing back of yourself
In this life
I hope you learn to let go
Let go until your heart and your palms
Are light and bare
Until you free your feet
And give birth to wings
Until your mind and spirit find peace
I hope you lay it all out
All of it
Everything
Everything you came with
Everything you now have
All you collected and accumulated
Learned and gathered
And became attached to carrying with you
Along your way
Those treasures you forgot you had
Buried somewhere inside
I hope you discover them again
One day
When something feels absent
And you're not sure where you are
I hope you leave them all here
Your light and your dark places
All that you are
All that you were
And have to give now
Leave them behind
For others to find
Here where our gifts
Are only given to us
To be given away
Just like your brilliant smile
It is of no worth to you
Until it is presented to another
Here where you are of most use
As was intended
Here where light begets light
And chases away shadows
By the time your wings
Take you beyond this place
I hope you have left nothing of your self
I hope you take nothing of your value with you
That you leave
Each and every one
Of your special little precious gems behind
That your soul floats lightly
In the knowing
That you gave
Much more than you took
I hope you rise
Filled abundantly
With all life gave you
But yet satisfyingly empty
Not a thing unseen
Unshared
Unsaid
Undiscovered
Or undone
When you leave
May it be with an empty cup
By such time
I hope you're all used up
