The wind may blow, the storm may rise But I won’t chase the changing skies What’s outside will come and go But peace begins in the soul I know Fortune smiles, and fortune fades Fame is dust, and gold decays But if I walk the path of right The fire inside becomes my light [Chorus] So I don’t fear the tide or time I’m not a slave to gain or climb I plant my feet where truth is found And hold my ground The world may turn and pass me by But I still stand with open eyes I’m not the storm, I’m not the sea I’m the stillness I carry in me [Verse 2] I’ve lost before, and I will again But loss reveals what matters then Not what I own, but who I am A breath, a will, a steady soul. I don’t control the wheel of fate Just how I greet what comes my way With reason clear, and heart held fast I face the present, and forget the past [Chorus] So I don’t fear the tide or time I’m not a slave to gain or climb I plant my feet where truth is found And hold my ground steadfast and sound. The world may turn and pass me by But I still stand with open eyes I’m not the storm, I’m not the sea I’m the stillness I carry in me [Bridge] Let others chase the winds of praise I’ll take the quiet, honest days I don’t need much, just air and flame And the strength to greet both joy and pain [Final Chorus] No, I don’t fear the tide or time I’ve made my peace with what’s divine I seek no throne, I seek no crown Just solid ground The world may turn and pass me by But I still stand with open eyes I’m not the storm, I’m not the sea I’m the stillness I’m the stillness I’m the stillness I carry in me
