Permission

Giulia Ottonello


I was waiting for the man with the thing 
to show me how to better do it and 
I was waiting for the other shoe to drop, 
or at least for one that fits. 
I was waiting for love and forgiveness 
when there was nothing left to forgive. 
I was running out of dreams, 
running out of bliss. 

Now I give myself, I give myself, I give myself, I give myself 

It was a tinny little locked up space in there, 
somewhere in the darkness between the anger and fear. 
I was waiting for the wonder, the one 
like waiting for the sun, the sun 

for a stubborn, dark and merciless god to come, come, cooooooome 

Now I give myself, I give myself, I give myself, I give myself... 
Now I give myself, I give myself, I give myself, I give myself..... 

Peeeeeeeeeeermission, Permission to lift, permission to fly 
Peeeeeeeeeeermission, Permission to lift, permission to fly 

I can look true the eye and my love as the sky and 
I can be the one shinning brightly as the sun 
Once I give myself, (I give to myself?), I give myself, (I give to myself?), I give myself, I give myself 

I give myself, I give myself, I give myself, I give myself, 
Now I give myself, I give myself, I give myself, I give myself.
