Lyrics

My Invincible Summer

-from cd ?The Opposite Only Better?
(c) 2000, words and music, Colleen Coadic

an accessible place inside me
growing fields of all I need
every time I breathe these words I know my invincible summer
time stands still I stand alone
surveying the wreckage of all I?ve known and claim as my invincible summer

hey it?s a thought
I?m on my way

this place warms my naked skin and flies me over where I?ve been
tracing my tattoos with care
running fingers through my colored hair
touching scars where holes once were remind me where remind me when
in the midst of my darkest winter began my invincible summer

hey it?s a thought
I?m on my way, I?m on my way
hey it?s a thought
I?m on my way

the best day it could ever be
the sweetest sound I?ll ever hear is the beautiful truth about myself

time stands still and I stand tall
claiming the history of it all
tugging heart strings inside me that long to be where I have been
but I wouldn?t change this for the world
woman child to woman girl
who I was from I was then
every miracle
every sin

hey it?s a thought
I?m on my way, I?m on my way
hey it?s a thought
I?m on my way
