St Brigid – Green and Grey

A song for letting go (designed for working with Brigid)

Wearing chains I went down to the well
Dragging chains I went down to the well
Saw Her flame shining bright
Above the water deep and black
Saw Her Name blazing right
Above the water deep and black

I walked right up to the edge

And I screamed
I want to be free
From this pain and misery
Cruel mean people
Are always poking me

I took a step

And plunged down through the waters of the well
Sank right down through the waters of the well
Twisted chains all around
So heave dark and tight
Blinding pain wrapped around
So heavy dark and tight

I came right up to my edge

And I screamed
I choose to be free
From this pain and misery
Cruel mean people
Don’t let them bother me

I took a step

And left it all in the waters of Her well
Released it all in the waters of Her well
Left those heavy chains behind
Loosened by Her healing deep
And the pain that kept me blind
Loosened by Her healing deep

I swam back up to Her edge

And I screamed
I’m finally free
From this pain and misery
Cruel mean people
Aren’t really who I see

I took a step
