Emily Elbert - Here and Now lyrics

In the dark I formed a tight grip on my heart I had gotten used to false starts Had learned to hide from love Now, sweet release Soft reminders to breathe deep Let the light in, tend the seeds And soak my soul in love Root down and grow in love And oh, I'd forgotten what it was To let go, to let the walls come down After all this time spent out there searching for my home I've found it in the here and now Rapt in awe Fireside in the backyard Search the source, sing to the stars Inside the mystery of love Heart in hands Pilgrimage to desert sands Pray to the Gods, pray to the land Each step a deepening in trust That all we are is enough And oh, I'd forgotten what it was To let go, to let the walls come down After all this time spent out there searching for my home I've found it in the here and now Kneeling at the altar Candlelight like dawn Blessed breath flows through the body Whispering "all is life, is truth, is one" Now Just a glimpse Of every past life, present tense Heal the heart, drop the defense, offer it all to love Dive deep and fall in love And oh, I'd forgotten what it was To let go, to let the walls come down After all this time spent out there searching for my home Love's within me in the here and now
