This one's for Chris

If you saw this, then you already know that our friend Chris has had a bad patch of it recently. A lot of us have poured sympathy and positive vibes his way, but I wanted to keep it going. I don't know if the lyrics to this song completely match what he's going through and what he's feeling, but based on his statements I thought they might, at least in part, serve to put in music what seems to be his emergence on the other end, in, as he calls it "a good place."

This one's for you, Chris.

I'm stepping outside again
i'm afraid but it's wonderful
i'm feeling the air again
it feels cold but it's lovely
i feel in touch with myself again
i'm afraid but i'm wonderful
'cause i can stand on my own again
and i can see that it's lovely
i just wanna live
i just wanna live again
i'm learning to cry again
i'm afraid but it's wonderful
i'm taking time for myself again
i feel some pain but i'm dealing

i just wanna live
(stepping out let the new begin)
i just wanna live again
(stepping out in the rain again)
yeah i just wanna live
(let it fall i can feel the wind)
i just wanna live again
(stepping out by myself again)
he's stepping outside
it's a little bit scary but it's wonderful
she's stepping outside
it's a little bit scary but it's wonderful
a little bit scary
