alive from unfolding by elyssa morrill

the final wall came tumbling down
and the sound of the crash was deafening
and the ringing came out in the words
my brain is breaking
and that's how it feels to die

welcome to the new earth
welcome to the new stage
welcome into this body
that's walked through the rage
and come out on the other side

and i'm still alive
thought that i'd died i thought i would die
but i'm still alive
maybe for the first time

don't know who needs to hear it but you're not alone
in thinking it's your only job to keep it together
but what if i told you
all your clinging it won't last forever
save your fingernails
let it go

welcome to the new earth
welcome to the new stage
step into your body
and walk through the rage
you'll come out on the other side

and you'll still be alive
thought that i'd died i thought i would die
but i'm still alive
maybe for the first time

what a relief we're not limited to our dreams
cuz i've never dreamed a life like this
and i'm learning all that's needed is leaning into the next right thing
and sometimes into the dying

and i'm still alive
thought that i'd died i thought i would die
but i'm still alive
maybe for the first time
i'm alive
