Wind in Your Veins

Verse 1

Put down the ladder to the sky,

Sit wherever you happen to be.

No altar, no perfect light,

Just the hush of a living city

Beating softly in your chest,

A drum you didn’t start.

Close your eyes and feel the rest—

The weather of your heart.

Pre-Chorus

Let the love come in like rain,

Let the longing know your name,

Let the fear have somewhere warm to go.

Don’t fix the ache or chase the flame—

Just listen to the undertow.

Chorus

Breathe out, touch in, let go.

You don’t have to shine to be the glow.

Every inch of you is sacred, even what you never show.

You are more and less than you’ll ever know.

Breathe out, touch in, let go.

Verse 2

Not the saint you plan to be,

Not the script you’ve tried to hold—

Just the being in the seat,

Coffee stains and quiet gold.

Hear the wind hum through your veins,

Bones like bells that softly toll.

Nothing missing, nothing plain—

Just a wide and holy whole.

Pre-Chorus

Say “here I am” to what you feel,

Call each wandering thought back home.

You’re a tide, not made of steel,

You rise and fall and still belong.

Chorus

Breathe out, touch in, let go.

You don’t have to shine to be the glow.

Every inch of you is sacred, even what you never show.

You are more and less than you’ll ever know.

Breathe out, touch in, let go.

Bridge

You don’t have to climb tonight;

The floor beneath your feet is blessed.

The door swings inward to the light,

Carved in the language of your breath.

Let the moment hold your name,

Let the edges blur and slow—

The wind outside, the wind within,

One river’s faithful flow.

Breakdown

Breathe out (I’m here),

Touch in (no fear),

Let go (my dear).

Chorus

Breathe out, touch in, let go.

You don’t have to shine to be the glow.

Every inch of you is sacred, even what you never show.

You are more and less than you’ll ever know.

Breathe out, touch in, let go.

Tag

Right here, right now—let go.
