I often think I know
And then I make a plan
I really strive to grow
And I believe I can
I try to do my best
To walk the perfect way
With passion in my chest
I pray to god each day
I aim to manifest
The life that I deserve
I feel that I know best
And then I take a swerve
The expectations in my head
The dreams I have inside
Did not occur the way I said
And now I want to hide
And wait it shouldn’t be this way
I never planned for this
My mind has lots of things to say
And wants to be in bliss
I want to have the perfect life
With friends who say I’m great
A car, a dog, a sexy wife
And good food on my plate
Anger jumps up to my throat
How dare life hurt my pride
Now I have to sail the boat
And wait to ride the tide
I never felt this way before
I never lost my shit
The worry moves inside my core
And deep into my pit
My mind is going crazy
And now it fears the worst
The future is so hazy
My head is going to burst
I put my hands upon my head
To ease the throbbing pain
I shout and scream into the bed
Can’t face the crying shame
I thought that I was in control
I thought I was the master
But belief’s not from my soul
That’s why it’s a disaster
And then a voice calls from my soul
I hear him inside
Brings silence from within my hole
And tells me not to hide
The voice is speaking soft and sweet
I know he is my friend
He’s telling me to trust in him
Until the very end
He’s telling me to take a breath
Stop trying to mould my life
Or I’ll be torn until my death
In anger and in strife
You are not the body, he said
And you are not the mind
Your ego puts beliefs in your head
And you become so blind
So close your eyes and remain still
And watch the thoughts go by
There’s no need for a super pill
Just ask god ‘who am I’
Stop chasing thoughts and stories
Given to you by them
It’s time to see your glory
And reveal the hidden gem
Rest inside your peaceful heart
And drop down from your head
Let’s make a brand new start
Before you end up dead
Stop planning life with safety walls
It doesn’t work this way
Start listening into life’s true calls
And feel what it has to say
You’ll see that you are not the boss
Although you think you are
You might experience such a loss
Your ego cuts a scar
But when you shift from out to in
Let life move through as life
You’ll find that you’re not in a spin
And there’s no pain and strife
You’ll know when it is time for action
You’ll know when silence is required
And you’ll experience satisfaction
And no more will you be so tired
So when the mind thinks he’s the boss
Just close the eyes and drop the worry
And you can lower down your cross
And see there is no hurry
For you do not exist in time
Let mind continue living there
Rest in peace, it’s not a crime
There’s magic in the air
And when you finally come back home
Let life flow through your open heart
You’re simply free to go and roam
Now is time to start.
