Soft But Strong - Doe Paoro

Yes, I am soft and I’m strong

I am soft and I’m strong

I am soft but I’m strong

Yes, I am soft and I’m strong

Softer than water,

everything I offer

Softer than your breath

eyelashes wet

See I’m softer than the jagged edge of scar tissue on my flesh

I won’t hurt you

cause I’m soft like the wool

underneath this wolf suit

Yes, I am soft but I’m strong

I am soft and I’m strong

Stronger than rootstock

I’m stronger than memory

Stronger than a thousand centuries of suffering

I’m stronger than a thousand centuries of suffering

I’m strong enough to forgive

Strong enough to forgive

Strong enough to forgive

Strong enough to forgive

Strong enough to forgive

Strong enough to forgive

Strong enough to forgive

And I will live

to see another beautiful day
