Hold It Slow

Intro

Mm-hmm

Ooh ooh

(Ah-ah)

Verse 1

Morning opens like a patient hand

Soft unfolding over everything I planned

I was small once

Now the years have grown me tall

And every scar became a window in the wall

Pre-Chorus

Hold the joy and hold the ache

Both are holy both can break me

Hold the joy and hold the ache

Chorus

All things in life all things in life

The rising and the letting go

All things in life all things in life

I am learning how to hold it slow

(Ooh ooh)

(All things in life)

Verse 2

Friend I lost I still hear your laughter clear

Somewhere past the weather of the years

Growing older feels like climbing toward a light

I forgive the ones who left and those who stayed the night

Pre-Chorus

Hold the joy and hold the ache

Both are holy both can break me

Hold the joy and hold the ache

Chorus

All things in life all things in life

The rising and the letting go

All things in life all things in life

I am learning how to hold it slow

(Ooh ooh)

(All things in life)

Flute Interlude

Ah-ah-ah

Ooh ooh ooh

Bridge

Something wakes in me

Quiet and vast and true

Every ending is a doorway opening through

Grateful for the small things

Grateful for the strange

Beauty in the ordinary rearranged

Breakdown

(Ooh)

(Breathe it in)

(Ooh)

Final Chorus

All things in life all things in life

The rising and the letting go

All things in life all things in life

I am learning how to hold it slow

(Learning how to hold it)

All things in life all things in life

Every sorrow every glow

(Every glow)

All things in life all things in life

I am grateful just to know

(Ah-ah)

(Ooh ooh)

(All things in life)
