All I Wanna Be

I wanna heal
I wanna be whole
But what if thats somethin
I won’t know and behold
‘til the end

Will I make peace with
What’s been given
What’s been taken
Make amends
With what’s been forsaken

Who i am
In present moment
That I am a gift
and not a burden
I may be broken
But I am Forgiven
I am strengthened

I wanna be mentioned,
though I am frightened
I am free
The more I’m enlightened
I wanna act swiftly
         All alone in the silence
I wanna walk Humbly
         Yet Bravely
I wanna be just
         Speak kindly

I wanna rejoice, presently
         For the gifts given me
I cry momentarily at
         All I wanna be is fully yet to be…
