Go Easy

from Night Rolls Open by Andy Gibson

lyrics

i see you walking down the other side of the road
you’re walking faster
i see you sitting at your desk
you’re working harder

i hear you’re coming up against problems and finding options to solve them
i hear you’re going running every morning while i’m still sleeping

so what have i learned?
was it just to give up,
have i learned to bend and to break at the slightest touch?
what have i gained by going easy on myself?
have i just learned to give it all away when it gets too much

i see you looking at the stars
your face reflects the moonlight
you look open, you look so calm
there’s depth in your eyes

look at all the barriers you’ve broken, the list falls to the floor
look at all the walls you’ve smashed open, you’re not trapped anymore

so what have i learned?
just to push on
to find a new way forward no matter how many times it all goes wrong
what have i gained by going easy on myself?
the strength to start it all again when it gets too much

go easy
