[Intro: distinct original Holler instrumental opening] [Verse 1: Bubba warm mature male] Stay with the morning at the window Stay with the ground beneath your shoe Stay when the worry starts its talking Don't let it decide for you [Chorus: Bubba male with Darlene female harmony] Stay with it, stay with it When the whole world starts to spin You can watch the thought go by Without asking it to win Through the darkness and the light Keep the quiet place in sight [Verse 2: Darlene unmistakably female] It's easy to forget a simple saying When we've heard it every day But a single honest practice Can be stronger than what people say [Bridge: duo trade lines] I can pause before responding And return when I get lost No perfection to perform here [Final chorus: full Holler Shakers] Stay with it, stay with it When the whole world starts to spin You can watch the thought go by Without asking it to win Through the darkness and the light Keep the quiet place in sight [Outro: gentle instrumental refrain, clean ending]
