[Intro] We know how to work out Run the mile, lift the weight Train the body, build the muscle Show up again the next day But there’s another kind of strength That doesn’t always show beneath the skin Sometimes the strongest thing we do Is close our eyes And work in [Verse 1] We stretch the legs, we train the heart We know that strength is built in parts A little further, one more rep The body learns with every step Nobody walks into the gym And lifts the weight they’ve never trained So why do we expect the mind To suddenly know peace When life brings pain? [Pre-Chorus] You practice where your feet will go Before you ever run the race Maybe peace works something like that too We practice finding our way back to this place [Chorus] Work out Work in Train the body Train within Breathe out Breathe in Let the quiet practice begin One more breath One more minute You don’t have to be good at it Work out Work in Give your mind somewhere peaceful To begin [Verse 2] Prayer can be a quiet room Meditation, simply staying Watching thoughts arise and leave Without believing everything they’re saying Feel the breath enter the body Feel your feet upon the ground You don’t have to stop the whole world Just learn where peace Can still be found No trophy waits upon the shelf No mirror shows what you have grown But little pathways become familiar Every time you practice coming home [Pre-Chorus] The basketball finds the waiting hands Because a thousand shots were made And peace becomes more reachable When peacefulness itself Has been rehearsed and trained [Chorus] Work out Work in Train the body Train within Breathe out Breathe in Let the quiet practice begin One more breath One more minute You don’t have to be good at it Work out Work in Give your mind somewhere peaceful To begin [Bridge] Then one day somebody raises their voice And every old alarm begins The heart beats hard The body braces The storm comes rushing in But somewhere underneath the noise There is a road you’ve walked before A breath A pause A little space A path returning to the shore You built it in the quiet moments When there wasn’t any fight You practiced peace when peace was easy So you could find it In the night [Breakdown] You don’t wait for conflict To learn how to breathe You don’t wait for heartbreak To practice being still You don’t wait for anger To discover there is space You practice coming home Before you need To find the place [Final Chorus] Work out Work in Strong without And strong within Breathe out Breathe in Let the quiet practice begin Five slow breaths Five still minutes There’s no perfect way to do it Work out Work in Give your mind somewhere peaceful To begin Work out Work in Care for all the life you’re living Body, heart Breath and mind Strength is more than what the mirror Lets you find [Outro] Tomorrow you can lift again Tomorrow you can sit again A little stronger A little stiller Work out Work in
