"All At Once"
All at once,
The world can overwhelm me
There's almost nothin' that you could tell me
That could ease my mind
Which way will you run
When it's always all around you
And the feelin' lost and found you again
A feelin' that we have no control
Around the sun
Some say
There's gonna be the new hell
Some say
It's still too early to tell
Some say
It really ain't no myth at all
Keep askin' ourselves are we really
Strong enough
There's so many things that we got
Too proud of
We're too proud of
We're too proud of
I wanna take the preconceived
Out from underneath your feet
We could shake it off
Instead we'll plant some seeds
We'll watch em' as they grow
And with each new beat
From your heart the roots grow deeper
The branches will they reach for what
Nobody really knows
But underneath it all
Theres this heart all alone
What about is gone
And it really won't be so long
Sometimes it feels like a heart is no place to be singin' from at all
Theres a world we've never seen
Theres still hope between the dreams
The weight of it all
Could blow away with a breeze
If you're waiting on the wind
Don't forget to breathe
Cause as the darkness gets deeper
We'll be sinkin as we reach for love
At least somethin we could hold
But I'll reach to you from where time just cant go
What about is gone
And it really wont be so long
Sometimes it feels like a heart is no place to be singin' from at all
The world can overwhelm me
There's almost nothin' that you could tell me
That could ease my mind
Which way will you run
When it's always all around you
And the feelin' lost and found you again
A feelin' that we have no control
Around the sun
Some say
There's gonna be the new hell
Some say
It's still too early to tell
Some say
It really ain't no myth at all
Keep askin' ourselves are we really
Strong enough
There's so many things that we got
Too proud of
We're too proud of
We're too proud of
I wanna take the preconceived
Out from underneath your feet
We could shake it off
Instead we'll plant some seeds
We'll watch em' as they grow
And with each new beat
From your heart the roots grow deeper
The branches will they reach for what
Nobody really knows
But underneath it all
Theres this heart all alone
What about is gone
And it really won't be so long
Sometimes it feels like a heart is no place to be singin' from at all
Theres a world we've never seen
Theres still hope between the dreams
The weight of it all
Could blow away with a breeze
If you're waiting on the wind
Don't forget to breathe
Cause as the darkness gets deeper
We'll be sinkin as we reach for love
At least somethin we could hold
But I'll reach to you from where time just cant go
What about is gone
And it really wont be so long
Sometimes it feels like a heart is no place to be singin' from at all
This song holds a special place in my heart. Every time I hear it I am brought back to Riley. A time when the world literally overwhelmed me. A time when I was unsure of things. A time when we questioned if we were strong enough. A time when we knew all we had was our hearts. A time when we didn't know what the future holds. I time when the weight of it all could literally have blown us away but instead of "completely" crumbling we reached for each other and we reached for LOVE. Love was something we could hold onto. And we held on like hell. Sometimes, this song reminds me of these feelings. Feelings of uncertainty. Feelings of that I really can't explain. Then I remember, even when the world does overwhelm me. I have love. A love for my daughter that makes me stronger than I have ever been. A love for my husband that assures me the fights worth fighting and the hold is worth holding. A love for my family that no matter how overwhelmed I am, I know I will not be blown over.
