soaring still - lauren oxford lyrics

cat’s talked to me about her mom before
a snapshot of a moment, a thing she used to say
it always made me smile, but i never pressed for more
i knew when she was ready, she’d find her way
but i couldn’t have prepared myself for the story of maria —
her passion for adventure, her levelheadedness
a woman full of courage and good ideas —
i’ll try my best to tell it, and it begins with this:

she was barеly old enough to understand
the changing world, hеr mom’s command
to never touch the windows
then they pasted them with paper
and she couldn’t even look out anymore
and so she learned the sacrifice of war:
one night, while she was fast asleep
the n*z*s came and did a sweep
and took away her father
in the morning light, she woke to find
him gone, and even after he returned
she’d seek him out of deep concern

maria grew up tall and wise
fell in love and married job, and in the sky
from the plane’s round window
saw their new home like a welcome mat
all wilderness and endless green expanse
like a promise, like a chance

even though i never met her
all these things i know about her —
how could i not see her in you?
she was always there beside you
a steady hand to hold and guide you
it’s so clear she’s soaring still
in the heart that beats inside you
in portland, they raised you and jake
led hiking trips and swam in crater lake
and then took to the air
she was trying for her silver badge
soaring in her glider up above
she was doing what she loved

you talked to me about her some before
a snapshot of a moment, a thing she used to say
it always made me smile, but i never pressed for more
i knew when you were ready, you’d find the way
until you never did, at least not how you wanted to
pen hovering above a page that’s blurred
trying until giving up, a writer through and through
who simply couldn’t ever find the words

but now… even though i never met her
all these things i know about her —
how could i not see her in you?
and you were always there beside me
a steady hand to hold and guide me
it’s so clear she’s soaring still
in the heart that beats inside me
