Be

There are trials and troubles that challenge

As the highways ahead unwind,

And as sure as the sun rises up from the East

You are lost in the flurry of time.

You say that you’ll shoulder the burden,

That your heart longs to run wild and free,

But the fears that you’re carrying deep down inside

Can all melt away by degree

If you will just…  be.

 

Every moment is precious,

Each breath is a gift,

Every mem’ry a cherry-red prize.

As you wake every morning to welcome the day

And feel blessed when you open your eyes.

 

There’re a million and one breathless choices.

You can hear as they call out your name.

Some are easy and some are life-changing

Setting all your tomorrows aflame.

But the fires can turn cold in an instant

As you breathe in the sweet morning breeze.

In the stillness the quiet rains soft on your face

In a place beyond reality

Where you can just… be.
