Took It All

You said, I could have it all

You said it to me

With your eyes so wide, excited

I stop to see what you meanIn the drone of afternoon traffic

On a slope that's slippery

In the relative fear, invited

That keeps us companyWe took it all, without taking it away

We shook it, it didn't blow up in our face

This life's abundancy came clear to meThese hands are holding a kite of worry

That floats high and circles a pivot of fear

In the wind are the words that say, there's no time hurry

So we grab what we can we think the end is nearWe took it all, without taking it away

We shook it, it didn't blow up in our face

This life's abundancy came clearWe can get back up, we can move from this ground

To where there is enough of everything

What has opened up this crevice at our feet

Has created a new sense of urgencyWithout taking it away, we shook it

It didn't blow up in our face

This life's abundancy came clear
