One day my soul just open up
And things started happenin
Things I cant quite explain
I mean
I cried and cried like never before
I cried tears of ten thousand mothers
I couldnt even feel anything because
I criedtil I was numb.
One day my soul just open up
I felt this overwhelming pride
what I was proud of
only God knows!
Like a pride of a hundred thousand fathers
Basking in the glory of their newborn sons
I was grimmin from ear to ear!
One day my soul just open up
I started laughing
And I laughed for what I seemed like forever
Wasnt nothin particularly funny goin on
But I laughed anyhow
I laughed the joy of a million children playin
In the mud
I laughed til my sides ached
Oh God! It felt so good!
One day, my soul just open up
There were revelations, annihilations, and resolutions
Feelings of doubt and betrayal, vengeance and forgiveness
Memories of things Id seen and done efore
of places Id been, although I didnt know when
there were lives Id lived
people Id loved
battles Id fought
victories Id won
and wars Id lost.
One day, my soul just open up
And out poured all the things
Id been hiding
And denying
And living through
That had just happened moments before.
One day, my soul just open up
And I decided
I was good and ready
I was good and ready
To surrender
My life
To God.
So, with my soul wide open,
I sat down
Wrote her a note
And told her so.
