Getting Old and Getting Out
In New York City

What I Came To Tell You by Carol Stroll
What I Came To Tell You
It's all about courage
It's about standing up and announcing where we are
It's about wanting to be found
It's about opening doors
not closing them
It's about walking through
It's about courage
It's about trust
It's about setting down the weapons
One more time
Again and again
one more time
One more trust
over and over
one more
It's one more nod of assent
It's about courage
It's about faith
It's about going inside one more time
pulling all we are
all we have
from the deepest place we own
and saying yes
As many times in life
with as much strength as we can find
Saying yes
It's about courage
It's about letting go
It's about saying yes
It's about trying again
It's about courage
It's about not forgetting
for our hearts will cease to tell us
It's about not waiting to be found
And for we
who hide behind old hurts, old pains, old fears
There's more
There's so much more
Come out come out wherever you are
It's about courage
It's about reaching out and grabbing a hand
any hand that's extended
pick one
It's about courage
It's about comfort
It's about walking with a friend
through this frightening unreality
which pretends to be all there is
about courage
It's about friendship and courage
It's about trust
It's about choice
It's all about love
