From the recording Redemption Child
Lyrics
Words and music by Kim Baker and Krista Enos
The innocence of a rosebud
Pushes up through the mud
We delight in her spark
I want to pluck her from the dark
Wise beyond her years,
She protects us from her tears
Laughing, making jokes...
My spirit chokes.
And to rescue you
I must rescue me
I must learn to suspend
All this perceived reality
'Cause I've got somewhere to go
I can't wish, I've got to know
Turning cartwheels in the sand,
I never wonder if I can.
Your heart is wide open:
Anything can go in
I would give up my freedom,
Release you from that lady's sin.
In a previous life
We were the leaders of the fight
And now my honor lies with you,
For within you is the truth.
And to rescue you
I must rescue me
I must learn to suspend
All this perceived reality
'Cause I've got somewhere to go
I can't wish, I've got to know
Turning cartwheels in the sand,
I never wonder if I can.
And I can feel your yearning
For someone to be proud of what you're learning
Just remember you're not alone
At the destruction of their throne
You're surrounded by love.
-Repeat Chorus-
