(Verse 1) In the middle of thinking, in the rush of the day, A pause can appear in the most simple way, A break in the story, a gap in the stream, Where silence is closer than thought could have seemed. At first there is noise trying harder to stay, The mind asks a question like, “Why is it this way?” But even that asking begins to unwind, As something more open is quietly lined. (Chorus) Stop for a moment, and notice the space, The stillness that’s always been here in this place, Not something you make, not something you find, But what’s been beneath every moment and mind. The thoughts keep on moving like clouds in the blue, But the sky that holds them is already you, And nothing is missing, no need to pursue, Just rest in the space that is quietly true. (Verse 2) While walking, just walking, while breathing, just breath, The weight of the thinking grows lighter than death, The story of “me” gets a little less tight, As awareness opens like soft morning light. A cup in the hand, or a dog at your feet, The world feels more simple, more honest, complete, Not changed in its form, but in how it is seen, Through gaps in the thinking where silence has been. (Chorus) Stop for a moment, and notice the space, The stillness that’s always been here in this place, Not something you make, not something you find, But what’s been beneath every moment and mind. The thoughts keep on moving like clouds in the blue, But the sky that holds them is already you, And nothing is missing, no need to pursue, Just rest in the space that is quietly true. (Bridge) The sky doesn’t struggle to hold every cloud, The silence doesn’t try to be loud, The gaps between moments are already whole, The quiet is not an object—but soul. No need to escape or to rise above, Just notice what’s here with a softness and love, For even the seeking is part of the play, Appearing in space and dissolving away. (outro) So stop for a moment, and fall into grace, Into the open and boundless embrace, Not somewhere distant, not later or new, But right in the heart of whatever you do. The thoughts keep on moving, but nothing is wrong, You were never outside of the whole all along, Just resting as space while the world passes through, And the space you are resting in… quietly you.
