We search for quiet distant lands yet silence waits within, to mountains high and grand even to the ocean’s song from the whispering trees as they call out sweet voices
We search for quiet distant lands yet silence waits within, but we forget the peace that we seek is just found beneath our feet longing for us to see through it calmly
We search for quiet distant lands yet silence waits within, we pack our bags and board the flights escaping the worldly strife believing that in foreign lands we’ll find a calmer life…
We drown in noise and our restless thoughts yet quiet waits just within our soulful silence, for peace is not a place to go but it blooms from inside out from the city hum with ceaseless sound
We drown in noise and our restless thoughts yet quiet waits just within our soulful silence, a world that never stops to pause from a road the never ends to cease our dreams
We drown in noise and our restless thoughts yet quiet waits just within our soulful silence, each moment filled with flashing screens, even with chatter, calls, and beeps but what we seek is not out there…
We chase the world for what we need yet all they seek is just near, each notification steals the mind and entangles us like a noose hoping that peace will somehow come from our feeds
We chase the world for what we need yet all they seek is just near, but still their thoughts keep racing as true peace must start within us
We chase the world for what we need yet all they seek is just near, we don’t need to cross a thousand miles to fell the stillness grow, we don’t need to chase the setting sun to watch the rivers state of mind…
We run from life to find escape yet peace is theirs to hold us together, but nothing that it gives compares to calmly in your hands as your write your own story that you can tell
We run from life to find escape yet peace is theirs to hold us together, the chaos fades as the heart unwinds while the storms of thought that subsides slowly as you acknowledge it
We run from life to find escape yet peace is theirs to hold us together, if only we could pause a moment every time we close our eyes, let the stillness take its space for nowhere else in all the world holds peace like your own chest where quiet waits…
All when you choose to turn within, you’ll soon find it
No matter where the body stands, the soul can find its peace
But in your soul, the quiet waits no matter where you stand
Is found inside the steady breath that sings its endless song
