Nikka Costa - Like A Feather lyrics

I'm coming out of my wishing well

Where only echoes lonely hear my prayers

I'm coming around to bending

Cause my resistance's been far too persistent

I've come too far to force it

so I'll watch it slide and land

I could come on strong and willful but

I'd rather watch it fall to the palm of my hand

(Chorus)

And when I

set it free

like a feather

it will be

And when I rise

to see it done

like whatever

it will be

it will be

I'm taking a breather baby

From sitting on pins waiting for my sky to fall

I'm taking up giving in

So here's the wheel, I'm putting my feet up

Take another look at me baby

Today I'm taking on catastrophe

I'd rather take it easy

Than try to force what's on its way to me

(Chorus)

We're only afraid if we pull back the blinds too far

The light behind that we free will blind other stars

But the truth doesn't blind it helps to see far

So get ready to be

Who you are
