Better Than Anything
written by Avy Summerlind ©2012
finding my bliss in the corner
falling in love with my life
now that I see
that I fell asleep for a time
a dreamer discovering
how not to fear walking
with eyes open wide
won’t turn around here
to make up stories to fill up the space
all that I leave behind
frees up the weight of my mind
for new light to come in
I don’t know, I don’t know
what lies ahead
but finding out
what’s here inside instead
is better than anything
I’ve ever felt before
I don’t know, I don’t know
what lies ahead
but finding out
what’s here inside instead
is better than anything
I’ve ever felt before
before
through uncovering
you’ll find
fortune waits for you
fortune waits for you
in plain sight
first I have to take the time
to find me
cuz I’m the one
who’s been hiding
I don’t know, I don’t know
what lies ahead
but finding out
what’s here inside instead
is better than anything
I’ve ever felt before
it’s better than anything
I’ve ever felt before
before

Already Gone
written by Avy Summerlind ©2022
you, me, the sky above
will change and disappear into love
look around, it's all in how you see
the beauty in the mystery
all the endings
all undone
I let what falls away
create the room for what's to come
more to life I'm finding
more alive when I'm dying
I don't need to be saved
I let it change me
I'm already gone
and wide open
I don't need to be saved
I let it change me
I'm already gone
my love goes on
through all the stop and start
I found a way to unlock my heart
don't need the ash to rise
I came in with open eyes
and now I see in the dark
and shine a light
with only my heart
no way to dampen down
a soul with a spark
don't even try it
I'm more alive when I'm dying
my big love is bigger
than I ever thought
I don't need to hold on
to hold myself up
now
I don't need to be saved
I let it change me
I'm already gone
and wide open
I don't need to be saved
I let it change me
I'm already gone
my love goes on

Sad Heart Hurt
written by Avy Summerlind ©2022
take it for what it’s worth
nothing to solve
it just all goes on
put the ending first
I’m on my way
it’s all over
feeling all I have
there’s a place for it all
somehow
feeling all I had
didn’t mean to
make it worse
I’ll just let my sad
I’ll just let my sad
I’ll just let my sad heart
hurt
to see me as I am, and love
no greater gift
letting in the light
of what’s reflected
I put the care together
so delicate
and I put it down now
feeling all I have
there’s a place for it all
somehow
feeling all I had
didn’t mean to
make it worse
here with all I had
everything shattered
I’ll just let my sad
I’ll just let my sad
I’ll just let my sad heart
hurt

Domino
written by Avy Summerlind ©2022
it'll come
and so I'll see the gift
even though my life's now
already lived
never broken
when I fall apart
don't confuse the pieces you see
with my whole heart
I can shatter
I can float
move through pain
no one knows
it all mattered
and I watch it go
all I ever needed
was to tip the domino
finally feel
I found the gold
where the end of the rainbow
meets the end of my road
nothing turned out
like I planned
but you showed up
to hold my hand
I'm not out here
on my own
I still feel you
when I'm all alone
you can't come
when I go
but you're the love
that tipped my domino

Beautiful Light
written by Avy Summerlind ©2011
one break
and everything’s changed
all it took
was what it takes
find now
falling awake
and all that was
has faded
beautiful light
replaces
all that I carried inside
light my heart, I’ll open
light my heart, I’ll shine
light my heart, I’ll open
light my heart, I’ll shine
I’ll shine
see now,
the nothing change
into beginning
and watching
from higher within
and seeing grace
saving me
beautiful light
replaces
all that I carried inside
light my heart, I’ll open
light my heart, I’ll shine
beautiful light
replaces
all that I carried inside
light my heart, I’ll open
light my heart, I’ll shine
light my heart, I’ll open
light my heart, I’ll shine
I’ll shine
