DIVING THROUGH DIVINITY

Are you alright, a little uptight? Well turn out the light.
It is time to sleep with the creatures that creep during the night.
Wake up to see this sight of boundless journeys.
Take this flight!

Sometimes we feel like this life is passing us by.
Sometimes we fall on the rocks near the shore.
Sometimes we scream into the depths of a lullaby.
Sometimes we wonder how we ended up on the floor.

You’re looking around for who just walked in.
Look away as your feet are soaked in sin.
Was it a miracle when it all began?
Will it all be erased with a swipe of the hand?

Are you alright, a little uptight? Well turn out the light.
It is time to sleep with the creatures that creep during the night.
Wake up to see this sight of boundless journeys.
Take this flight!

Is the moment under the microscope too long?
How do you stand up strong when broken down?
Are you afraid your sanity is slipping with time?
Are you afraid you may never be divine?

Don't wait for the sand to blow.
Don't wait for what you'll never know.
Don't wait for your thoughts to grow.
Don't wait too much longer… For it is now time to go.

DIVING THROUGH DIVINITY

Submitted by: Christopher Robin MacLeod

Lyrics I had written after coming to the realization that I had been diagnosed with schizophrenia. It encapsulates a moment in time that is transferable, in my view, to everyone even 10 years later. I wanted to take on the notion that I would confront this head on and see where it would lead to. It has been a glorious ride. Understanding those affected by mental illness is crucial for meaningful change.
