Lyrics

Troubled

Hafiz/Ladinsky/Levin © 2013



Troubled? Stay with me I’m not. Lonely? Play with me.

I’ve got two ancient caves behind my eyes where true love lies.



Chorus:

Write them all down all your worries and your fears
even from a thousand yearsI will lean into today,
and the flame inside my heart will burn them all away.



Frightened? Be with me ―and cope.
Weary? Dance with me —there’s hope.
“If I wrote my troubles down, they would wind this earth around.”

Offer them in prayer and in a flash
―they’re holy ash, incense in the air-
And we’ll rise and we’ll rise until all the earth and sky
disappear with your fear
And we’ll sing and be the space containing everything. Chorus
