作词 : Heather Nova 作曲 : Heather Nova Yesterday, I walked outside Out into a sea of dust, arid and dry And so hot and so unbelievably radiant And unforgiving And I watched myself go under And I felt energy rising And then I saw this woman coming towards me All heat and haze But with a smile like a river that swept me up And I took my hand and I put it in hers And I said, "Will you be my spirit guide?" And she said, "You don't need a spirit guide All you gotta do is ride You just close your eyes and then open them wide" She said Do something that scares you Do something that scares you And I washed my hands in the clear green water Rushing from the mountain like some kind of absolution Like a resurrection I put my whole body into the water Like I was transforming, a chrysalis I could taste the dirt The red earth on my tongue And I felt like I was just a girl, Seventeen, looking for something, edgy and green And bursting and beautiful and undecipherable With the reins held tight And I felt like I was just holding onto a thread Taking off, ready for joy, on a bird's wing, fragile And I heard that voice Do something that scares you Do something that scares you Do something that makes you feel Do something that makes you feel And I stood on the edge of that cliff And I realized I was all alone With no way up or down And I was scared And I started to climb Up, up, up And I could suddenly feel And I could feel rain on my skin, sweet and cold And I could feel all the pain from all the years All the sweat and all the untold passions and the tears Like rain flowering in me so strong Like jasmine, and releasing me And I fell onto the sand and I put up my hands And I put up my body arms And I cried with the rain And I felt myself becoming myself Like I was freed from the beliefs that I'd been handed as a child Like I could see the world from above Like I could live pure And I took off that red ribbon from around my head And I buried it under the yellow earth, scratching at the sand Burying it deeper and deeper Into the heat, into the core I said I did something that scares me I did something that scares me I did something that makes me feel I did something that makes me feel I did something that makes me feel Alive
