Happy Just to Be

I was up and laying and once was here
Was shallow, digging deep
With hope and heart to heal
Fell into a hole we had dug
And covered with some leaves
That covered you and me
Seemed so complicated, now we're down
And wanting to be free

I'm happy just to be
And when your fear running
Must have set its roots
All of the heaviness will one day
Call a truce
I'm happy just to be

Felt it as it angled its way through
A sight I'd never seen
But saw it sticking through
Pulled as much as I could force myself
But it would never do
No matter how I tried
Well now it comes to festering and swell
Needle, stitch and thread
Will close it once it's clean

And when your fear running
Must have set its roots
All of the heaviness will one day
Call a truce
I'm happy just to be
