Show Me Love
LYRICS:
Don't let me show cruelty
Though I may make mistakes
Don't let me show ugliness
Though I know I can hate
And don't let me show evil
Though it might be all I take
Show me love
Show me love
Show me love
Don't let me think weakly
Though I know that I can break
Keep me away from apathy
While I am still awake
And don't let me think too long
Of the one I'm bound to face
Show me love
Show me love
Show me love
Take Time
by Earth Practice
Here’s another gem from this trio, Yin, Jessi, and Yam, catching songs, and staying tender-hearted on unceded Lummi & Nooksack territory, in the PNW. You can hear their version of this song here, with special guest, Waldo.
They also host this amazing song podcast, Bliss Is Ordinary, and you can support their work via Patreon.
LYRICS:
Take time with your own heart (2x)
Take time with your own heart
With your own heart, take time.
And, it’s ok to feel…pain
It’s ok to feel
It’s ok to feel…pain
It’s ok to feel
(repeat verse and chorus)
There’s light in your own heart (2x)
There’s light in your own heart
In your own heart, there’s light.

LYRICS:
You do not carry this all alone.
No, you do not carry this all alone.
This is way too big for you to carry this on your own, so
You do not carry this all alone.
