[ti:Do something that scares yo] [ar:Heather Nova] [al:300 Days At Sea] [by:] [offset:0] [00:08.52]Yesterday I walked outside [00:12.75]Out into a sea of dust arid and dry [00:15.76]And so hot and so unbelievably radiant [00:18.70]And unforgiving [00:19.76]And I watched myself go under [00:23.91]And I felt energy rising [00:27.47]And then I saw this woman coming towards me [00:31.39]All heat and haze [00:33.26]But with a smile like a river that swept me up [00:36.13]And I took my hand and I put it in hers [00:39.51]And I said "Will you be my spirit guide " [00:43.50]And she said "You don't need a spirit guide [00:48.74]All you gotta do is ride [00:51.30]You just close your eyes and then open them wide" [00:55.04]She said [00:56.23]Do something that scares you [01:04.03]Do something that scares you [01:11.08]And I washed my hands in the clear green water [01:14.78]Rushing from the mountain like some kind of absolution [01:18.17]Like a resurrection [01:19.10]I put my whole body into the water [01:21.63]Like I was transforming a chrysalis [01:24.76]I could taste the dirt [01:26.57]The red earth on my tongue [01:28.83]And I felt like I was just a girl [01:31.02]Seventeen looking for something edgy and green [01:34.64]And bursting and beautiful and undecipherable [01:36.76] [01:37.41]With the reins held tight [01:39.06]And I felt like I was just holding onto a thread [01:41.81]Taking off ready for joy on a bird's wing fragile [01:46.04]And I heard that voice [01:47.85]Do something that scares you [01:54.62]Do something that scares you [02:02.36]Do something that makes you feel [02:05.86]Do something that makes you feel [02:14.04]And I stood on the edge of that cliff [02:16.04]And I realized I was all alone [02:18.18]With no way up or down [02:19.75]And I was scared [02:21.00]And I started to climb [02:22.24]Up up up [02:24.18]And I could suddenly feel [02:25.74]And I could feel rain on my skin sweet and cold [02:29.42]And I could feel all the pain from all the years [02:33.11]All the sweat and all the untold passions and the tears [02:37.40]Like rain flowering in me so strong [02:40.65]Like jasmine and releasing me [02:42.47]And I fell onto the sand and I put up my hands [02:45.47]And I put up my body arms [02:47.60]And I cried with the rain [02:49.41]And I felt myself becoming myself [02:53.03]Like I was freed from the beliefs that I'd been handed as a child [02:57.14]Like I could see the world from above [02:59.58]Like I could live pure [03:01.33]And I took off that red ribbon from around my head [03:05.07]And I buried it under the yellow earth scratching at the sand [03:09.06]Burying it deeper and deeper [03:11.32]Into the heat into the core [03:12.99]I said [03:13.81]I did something that scares me [03:21.54]I did something that scares me [03:27.61]I did something that makes me feel [03:32.60]I did something that makes me feel [03:36.36]I did something that makes me feel [03:42.35]Alive
