LYRICS
\nby Ashley Struempfler<\/p>\n
Wrapped at birth with a gift from my own kin
\nA welcome into the world so this Pisces could swim<\/p>\n
My parents love warmed him so perfectly
\nHe knew his special blanket was needed for me
\nThe spirit of a child spirit knows what you love you set free<\/p>\n
The amount of cloth always covered me throughout the night
\nWith their love and my blankie I always felt swaddled tight<\/p>\n
I found a man who wrapped me up for quite a while
\nThe polka dots on my blanket did not compare to our style
\nI believed then that our love was the only one worth while <\/p>\n
We wove a blanket to warm both him and me
\nMy old one was useless so I left it be<\/p>\n
Life put pressure on the seams one night
\nBlanket ripped off ; completely out of sight
\nI tried to repair it with all my might
\nThe tear happened seemingly right
\nSomething in me had to ignite <\/p>\n
No longer snuggled with the warmth of our love
\nI had no other choice then to look above
\nThe heat rose within and the message was given to me
\nIf you love something – set it free
\nSwaddled in the cosmos you’ll forever be <\/p>\n
Reborn with a different set of lenses to see
\nA new understanding of love in all the forms it can be
\nBut no epiphany will ever set your pain free
\nI knew there was a long road ahead; a great plan created for me<\/p>\n
Hardly handling the nature of the heat reawakened in me
\nI resisted being wrapped; I didn’t think I was worthy
\nSo I nuzzled into other blankets I would see
\nBut I knew all along none of them would let me sleep as soundly
\nBeing cuddled in fear just hid my beauty<\/p>\n
So I drove home and there was all I ever needed all along
\nMy blankie, family, that non stop song
\nA thought came over me
\nThat If I loved myself unconditionally
\nI could cozy up and set myself free <\/p>\n
Feeling forever safe and freed from my past
\nWith a heart open; Romance returned just so fast
\nI stretched my blanket out ; but it just didn’t last <\/p>\n
We could have made a new one; started to sow
\nBut we knew the effects would start to show <\/p>\n
Still longing for your love over the rest
\nCosmos reminded me it was for the best <\/p>\n
You’ll be swaddled with care – limbs flowing free
\nYou can’t restrict love – don’t you see?<\/p>\n
So I began to let the love flow outwardly
\nSteps continuously moving forwardly <\/p>\n
I picked up Captain Cook leaving the Land of mystery
\nFrom a distance I could tell he was as lost as me<\/p>\n
I got a long way back to Salt Lake City
\nJust Searching for the sun after this reprieve
\n.
\nHe was burned and abandoned by those Who made me once feel secure
\nBut just as quickly through him out their door<\/p>\n
Just trying to make it home somehow stuck in women’s panties.
\nI had to help the pirate that smelled of incense and patties.<\/p>\n
I don’t have fear when I act from love
\nMaybe one day this fool will learn <\/p>\n
Read him his cards – he commented on my glow
\nOur encounter means more than we’ll both ever know<\/p>\n
All I could offer was a ride and some tea
\nHe Left his scarf and some wise words for me
\n It’s been everywhere you see – I love it, but I’m not cold anymore – so I must set it free <\/p>\n
I’m back on my search for the Tao
\nSo here’s a blanket – it’s yours now <\/p>\n
I love both you and it so both had to be set free
\nI knew it was time for you to feel how warm you could be<\/p>\n
