High Enough to Care

Yeah…

Sometimes you just need a little lift to feel grounded again.

⸻

I been tryna find balance in the middle of the madness,

Heart feel heavy but I cover it with gladness.

Smilin’ on the outside, inside got a sadness,

Same old habits put the peace into practice.

Light one up, let the world turn slow,

Thoughts get deep when the room start to glow.

Life too fast but I move with the flow —

A little inhale make the pain let go.

Got dreams in the corner I ain’t touched yet,

Bruises on my heart from the things I ain’t crushed yet.

Tryna stay soft in a world full of upset,

Love too real for me to ever wanna toughen it.

⸻

I’m just tryin’ to get high enough to care,

Not numb — just aware,

Lift the weight in the air,

Let the hurt disappear.

Yeah, high enough to care,

Half peace, half prayer,

Let the smoke take the stairs,

Meet my heart somewhere.

⸻

Got a lot on my mind but I’m workin’ through the clutter,

Heart don’t break — it just bends like rubber.

Learned that from life and my dear sweet mother,

Told me keep love even when you feel smothered.

I’ve been tryna let go of the fear in my chest,

Tryna give grace even when I feel stressed.

Life ain’t perfect but I’m still kinda blessed,

Even tired souls need a place to rest.

So I sit by the window with a thought and a spark,

Let the smoke paint halos in the room goin’ dark.

Tryna find light somewhere deep in my heart —

Every good thing starts with a slow, small start.

⸻

I’m just tryin’ to get high enough to care,

Not numb — just aware,

Lift the weight in the air,

Let the hurt disappear.

Yeah, high enough to care,

Half peace, half prayer,

Let the smoke take the stairs,

Meet my heart somewhere.

⸻

Yeah…

Not runnin’ from it.

Just breathin’ through it.

High enough…

to care.
