about

Based on Glennon Doyle's writings and lessons.

lyrics

I don’t know if I’m going to make it here
I’ve got all this coming at me
And it’s feeding all my fears

Every story in the newspaper
Every advertisement on the screen
They don’t look or act like me
Or at least not who I want to be

I want to run from it all
I want to try to disappear
But a still small voice is keeping me here

Maybe I’m a love warrior
Love Warrior
Maybe I’m a love warrior

I’m so hungry from always starving myself
Of everything I know I need
Of who I’m really meant to be
What if I’m the one
That I’ve been waiting for
All this crying on the bathroom floor
Oh that tile feels so nice and cool

What if every miracle
Starts just like this
With all of this unlearning
A reckoning

What if I’m a love warrior
Love Warrior
What if I’m a love warrior

Now I’m finding all these words
Just like prayers that were meant for me
Little whispers in my little ear
‘Til it’s my own voice that I hear

I’m thinking maybe
If I can do the next right thing
Oh, just what is right in front of me, sister
Maybe I was born just for this then

First the revelation, then the revolution
First the pain and waiting
Then the Rising

I am a love warrior
Love Warrior
I am a love warrior

And if we’re gonna rise up
We’re going to do it laughing and singing
We’re going to do it dancing and howling
With our wolf-pack
Through this brutiful life
And if there is so such thing
There is no such thing as “other people’s” children
Then there is no such thing as other people’s fathers and mothers
And sisters and brother’s
Aren’t we all son and daughters and everything in between
We belong to each other
We can do hard things together

We are love warriors
We are love warriors
Love Warriors
We are love warriors

First the revelation
Then the revolution
First the pain and waiting
Then the rising
