"I'll Shy Away"

Music by Phil Kearney
Lyrics by Toni Helser

So this is it, this is my lightship
where my sense is regained
Here's where I find a kinship
Penetrating the atmosphere with it's frailty

Spiraling and cascading
into vulnerability
Words that flow with ease
Into fairytales of ecstasy

I'll shy away
from all the tears
No longer chained to shame

I'll shy away
taking risk where they belong

No need to lie
no need to pretend
that I'm okay
I'm okay

It was all part of the denial
but there's grace in my face now
No longer quietly afraid
Singing "this is no charade,
this serenity..."

Casting out the shadows
of all that I buried
Showing the scars
like some battered little thing

I'll shy away
from all the tears
No longer chained to shame

I'll shy away
taking risk where they belong

No need to lie
no need to pretend
that I'm okay
I'm okay

Light glimpsing softly
Shadows celebrate with the sunshine
shifting brilliance in all that's divine.
