When my fast-paced racetrack of a mind,
runs away with the time it’s okay to cry.
My riverbed of tears never totally dry,
I take a moment, in the moment,
listen to the clouds they will whisper to your soul.
It takes a moment to taste a moment,
for the world to slow down, for your inner self to show.
It takes time for the real you to grow,
you need to take time cos it’s something that you own.
And it helps me looking up at the trees,
and it’s healthy to relax and just breathe,
lay back, relax, just breathe, just be…
whoever you may be.
I’m alive, I’m alive!
You know what time it is,
to the tippy-top I strive,
I stick and I move and I duck and I jive,
the busy-bee’s back new honey from the hive.
I’m truthful, I’m graceful,
I’m righteous, I’m peaceful.
I’m loving I’m not deceitful,
real love sees all as equal.
I wanna be breaking these cycles of violence,
not making a one-size fits all type of silence.
So take a moment, to take in the moment,
the clouds rolling by pull us shoulder to shoulder.
We stand together whether short or we’re tall.
The weather’s heavy if we can’t learn how to talk.
So taste a moment, don’t waste a moment,
we're taller than the sum of all for one and one for all.
I’m taking my time tryna find my way,
I’m taking my time finding ways to say
what's on my mind.
Because I know it’s right for me I know I’ll find,
the way to be a better me and just be…
whoever I may be. Just be.
