“Leap, Love”

(Julie Morrow)

One man broke your wings.
Then he pulled you down.
Bought you pretty things,
all while scratchin’ your crown.
Then he strapped you in
to a gilded cage
just to play pretend
all while brandishing rage.

(Chorus)
Leap, love. I’m right
beneath, love. You won’t
hit the ground. My love’s
holdin’ it down.

One man told you lies—
tried to harness you,
could not see the prize.
Now you’re battered and bruised.
He betrayed your heart.
Then he flayed your soul—
took your mind apart.
Still, you’re breakin’ the mold.

(Repeat Chorus)

You survived the worst;
now you’re standin’ tall.
Their misuse subverts,
as you straighten with gall.
I see you defy
them with wings unfurled,
and I hasten by,
undercurrents a whirl.

(Bridge)
I am here with you, upholding the space,
under your wings, shieldin’ you from the brace.
I’ll recover your fragments, still aglow.
Fall, I will catch you. I’ll soften the blow.

(Repeat Chorus)
