I Don't Have to Take It Personally

[Verse 1] The things people say The little things they do Which jar and wound. It’s like I have a net And like a haul I have to examine The detail, the hurt. [Chorus] I don’t have to take it personally Let it pass through Let it move through me Like a cloud in a wide Bright sky I just watch it drift on by I don’t have to fix this perfectly Every feeling is a passing sea I place my hand upon my heart And let the wave wash over me [Verse 2] I didn’t mean to absorb Everyone else’s pain a magnet for woe I’m just attuned to The human heart Trying to help And it’s weighing me down. [Chorus] I don’t have to take it personally Let it pass through Let it move through me Like a cloud in a wide Bright sky I just watch it drift on by I don’t have to fix this perfectly Every feeling is a passing sea I place my hand upon my heart And let the wave wash over me [Bridge] Sensitivity Stagnation The ache in my emotional body I’ve got to let it go Let it wash out of me. Find balance Not take offence Not hide, but Reside in compassion Pure Awareness Resting free. [Chorus] I don’t have to take it personally Let it pass through Let it move through me Like a cloud in a wide Bright sky Passing over me.
