Oh, Exoskeleton
Oh, Exoskeleton
Verse 1:
Let’s all dance to start the day
Then share the prayers we never say
Let’s all play like children play
Let our heavy hearts molt away
a cheerful heart is medicine
now shed, oh exoskeleton! (2x)
Om (2x)
Verse 2:
Let’s all sing without a care
Feel the grass, our feet are bare
let's talk in truth, let's dance with dare
our souls cry out through lungs and air
a cheerful heart is medicine, now shed, oh exoskeleton! (2x)
Om (2x)
Chorus:
With gratitude, my heart’s held high!
There’s enough room
for every cloud up in the sky
Oh, let my roots grow deep down
Get me grounded and aligned
Oh, exoskeleton I leave you behind
Bridge
Oh myself, know thyself
(There I am, there I am, there, I am there)
Oh myself, grow thyself
(Here I am, here I am, here, I am here)
Now let out a belly laugh!....(8x)
Chorus:
With gratitude, my heart’s held high!
there’s enough room for every cloud up in the sky
oh, let my roots grow deep down
Get me grounded and aligned
and let the limbs of my life’s tree be tender, loving, kind
and, let the fruit of my vine be sweet as the finest wine
oh, exoskeleton I leave you behind (3x)
Om (3x)
Centering prayer:
Oh thyself, know thyself.
Oh thyself, grow thyself.
About:
This song is about outgrowing an old version of yourself, and shedding armor that is no longer useful or necessary. Like there is enough room for every cloud up in the sky - there is enough room in reality for every storm, every emotion and every event. Nothing is all-consuming of all reality, it all has a place - even the dark and scary clouds. Gratitude will hold our hearts up high, and help us leave our exoskeletons behind.
