Tug of War
Navigating the Tug of War: Embracing the Heart's Battle
Lyrics
There are times in our lives
There are moments in our lives
When our hearts fear our minds
When our emotions overpower our rational thoughts
We can't afford to ignore
We cannot afford to neglect
What our hearts are beating for
The true desires of our hearts
My soul wants to go one way
My inner self desires a particular path
But my heart and mind playing
Yet, my heart and mind are in conflict
A tug of war with me baby
Engaged in a struggle, a tug of war within me
Cut to the truth and watch it bleed
Face the reality and witness its pain
And in the wounds just what we need
In the wounds, find what is necessary for us
It's everywhere if we dare
Opportunities are abundant if we are willing to take risks
To trust the fall to lead you there
To trust the uncertainty and let it guide us
My soul wants to go one way
My inner self still yearns for a particular direction
But my heart and mind playing
Yet, a conflict persists between my heart and mind
A tug of war with me baby
Caught in a tug of war within myself
Let me out of this cage
Seeking release from confinement
I'm begging for mercy
Pleading for compassion and freedom
I'm being your slave
Feeling enslaved and subservient
What do you want me to see,
Questioning what you want me to understand
My eyes are inflamed
Eyes inflamed with the anger present among us
With the rage that's among us
As we mature and face challenges
When we come of age
Awareness of everything, yet unaware of some
There's nothing I don't know,
We are attempting to recall
Just hasn't come to me yet
Yet, certain knowledge is yet to reveal itself
We're only trying to remember
Striving to remember what we intentionally choose to forget
What we choose to forget
We are all, in essence, children
Everybody's a child
If we trust ourselves to be unrestrained
That is open and free
Everyone possesses a childlike openness and freedom
If we can trust ourselves
If only we can be daring and indiscreet
To be indiscreet
Especially in matters of love
With our love
Emphasizing the importance of being uninhibited with our love
