“Longing to Grow” is a line from Los Angeles musician Shannon Lay’s new single, “Rare to Wake”. I feel like the lyrics of this song describe where many of us are mentally right now:
"I'm longing to grow
Without change, something
Sleeps inside us
Rare to wake
Sleep, I must awaken
Have you always been who you are?
Without change, something
Sleeps inside us
Rare to wake
I will miss my homeBut I'm longing to grow
I will miss my painAnd I have to make way for something better (make way)
Without change, something
Sleeps inside us
Rare to wake
Have you always been who you are?"Playlist
