lyrics

Troubled- Hafiz/Ladinsky/Levin © 2013

Troubled? Stay with me- I’m not.

Lonely? Play with me. I’ve got—two ancient caves

behind my eyes where true love lies.

Chorus
Write them all down- all your worries and your fears

Even from a thousand years

I will lean into today, and the flame inside my heart

will burn them all away.

Frightened? Be with me- and cope.

Weary? Dance with me- there’s hope.
“If I wrote my troubles down,

they would wind this earth around.”

Offer them in prayer and in a flash- they’re holy ash, incense in the air-

And we’ll rise and we’ll rise until all the earth and sky disappear with your fear

And we’ll sing and be the space containing everything.

Write them all down all your worries and your fears even from a thousand years

I will lean into today, and the flame inside my heart will burn them all away.
