I wrote a letter to myself
Pretended I was you
I swear my handwriting changed a little
Like it was You who told me what to do

You said take a deep breath, sweet girl
And take a bird’s eye view
There is nothing out here in the whole wide world
That is ever gonna capsize you

I carry so much but my back don’t break
Oh, It never lets me down
And I worry so much but the worry don’t change
What I worry about
I can cry I can cry I can cry me a river
Deep enough to baptize me
The water’s gonna rise til I learn to remember
Nothing’s gonna capsize me

I just rode another wave of it
This one caught me by surprise
After so many years of working hard and getting better
I thought I’d left this part of me behind

Then I remember we are made to be
As infinite as anything
And the part of me who shudders can be a lighthouse for the others
Who need to find the shore when they are lost at sea
You’re just like me

I carry so much but my back don’t break
It never lets me down
And I worry so much but the worry don’t change
What I worry about
I can cry I can cry I can cry me a River
Deep enough to Baptize me
The water’s gonna rise til I learn to remember
Nothing’s gonna capsize me

Rough waters make
Good Sailors
Good Sailors
Rough waters make
Good Sailors

I can cry me a river
I can cry me a river
I can cry
Nothings gonna capsize me
Water’s gonna rise
Nothing’s gonna capsize me
