the cage came crashing

i haven’t moved in eternity

singing this song

By Anne Briggs

No pushing, no rushing
No pressure, no flame

No hurry, no worry
No judgment, no blame

No anger, aversion
No scolding, no shame

Come sit in true self
We’ll all get along

I’m sitting in true self
I’m singing this song

No pushing, no rushing

Just healthy and happy
Courageously strong

Come sit in true self
We’ll all get along

I’m sitting in true self
I’m singing this song
