Permission

Intro: I've been an ace girl Offering much, grumbling low And I gave all, all that was asked of me When order was slow and vision was unrelenting I never stopped long enough To swim against the tides of old And I was single-minded too much To look toward this new true north So now Permission to be Permission to slow And do the only things that matter to me The freedom to flow To where genuine flows And do the only things that matter to me And sure, I've had my fun Played with my roles With time for a break hard-won But then after a while So much done by rote No longer by inspiration I've never stopped long enough To see whose was this blind ambition And I was not sanctioned to stop And realize whose was this old mission So now Permission to be Permission to slow And do the only things that matter to me The freedom to flow To where genuine flows And do the only things that matter to me With this space by the dropping of weights This license to obey With this time really wait So now Permission to be Permission to slow And do the only things that matter to me The freedom to flow To where genuine flows And do the only things that matter to me The simple things that matter to me The simple things that matter to me?
