Atlas: Six

I had the most vivid dream

My feet had left the ground

I was floating to heaven

But I could only look down

My mind was heavy

Runnin' ragged with worst case scenarios

Emergency exits and the distance below

I woke up so worried that the angels let go

Oh, God, I'm so tired

Of being afraid

What would it feel like to put this baggage down?

If I'm being honest

I'm not sure I'd know how

I want to take shelter, but I'm ready

Ready to fight

Somewhere in the middle I feel a little paralyzed

But maybe I'm stronger than I realize

I want to believe

No, I choose to believe

That I was made to become

A sanctuary

Fear won't go away

But I can keep it at bay

And these invisible walls

Just might keep us safe

With a vigilant heart

I'll push into the dark

And I'll learn to breathe deep

And make peace with the stars

Is it courage or faith

To show up every day?

To trust that there will be light

Always waiting behind

Even the darkest of nights

And no matter what

Somehow we'll be okay

Don't be afraid
