[Verse 1] A scavenger within, Rummaging round and round, Drowning away in miseries, Through restless nights and dreary days [Pre-chorus] Just a minute is needed, To step back and breathe… Whisper in the meadow, Down through the creek, Where lullabies echo, In the silence I seek… [Chorus] Let me rest, let me rest, Let loud thoughts fade away Where can I find some quiet Just for today [Verse 2] Busy streets beat with clamoring feet As dust rises up a storm, Waves of people, voices apart, A throng of noises, deep and dark… [Pre-chorus] Just a minute is needed, To step back and see… Twilight in the shadows, Starlight in the skies, I’ll find the silence, Wherever it may lie [Chorus] Let me rest, let me rest, Let loud thoughts fade away Where can I find some quiet Just for today [Verse 3] Among the crowd, Aloud and alone, [Pre-Chorus] Just a minute is needed To call my own Sunrise through the valley Dew drops on the petals Twisting through the path Let me find peace at last [Chorus] Let me rest, let me rest, Let loud thoughts fade away Where can I find some quiet Just for today Where can I find the quiet for today...
