lyrics

have you ever heard the story of the girl who set out on her own?
she was searching for meaning in the world
she wanted to find her home
she climbed the tallest mountains
she sailed the seven seas
she joined a gypsy caravan
she even lived up in a redwood tree

and she learned to sow the seeds and they’d grow
tending to the soil and the roots down below
she’d watched how her attention
when put in one direction
would fuel the fire of her purest intention
and still, she’ll stumble and fall
frequently forgetting that she already had it all
inside herself

she always had it all
she always had it all

she opened her heart to see what she could find
let people in that were not meant to be inside
she placed her value in the hands of others
not believing in her worth
she lost sight of her druthers

from that place of lack
she allowed attack
she forgot that she needs to have her own back
wasted and confused
she got used and abused
she lost sight of her truth
she forgot she was her own muse

took her falling to realize her strength
it was through the fire she finally found her way

so now you’ve heard the story
of the girl who set out on her own
cultivating the courage to face herself
and her beliefs that held her down
she directed all the love
that she so desperately wanted to give away
back to herself through her practice
feeding her spirit in a sacred way

and she learned to sow the seeds and they'd grow
tending to the soil and the roots down below
she'd watch how her attention
when put in one direction
would fuel the fire of her purest intention

and still she'd stumble and fall
but now she remembers that
she’s always had it all inside herself

she always had it all
inside herself
