[Verse 1] Today I lay my armor down, No need to wear a victor’s crown, I don’t have to prove my worth, Or carry all the weight of earth. The endless need to win and fight, Keeps the heart awake at night, But wisdom whispers soft and clear, “Peace is already waiting here.” [Pre-Chorus] When I loosen my grip, And let the river flow, The burdens I was carrying Begin to let me go. [Chorus] I choose peace over ego, Humility over pride, Wisdom over reaction, And a calmer way inside. I don’t need every answer, I don’t need to control, Tonight I rest in stillness, And let serenity unfold. [Verse 2] The world will turn without my hand, Not everything must go as planned, Some things bloom and some things fade, Such is the path that life has made. The quiet heart no longer chases, Validation in crowded places, It simply breathes, it simply knows, And trusts the way the moment flows. [Pre-Chorus] Like the moon upon the water, Gentle, bright, and free, The less I cling to who I am, The more I come to be. [Chorus] I choose peace over ego, Humility over pride, Wisdom over reaction, And a calmer way inside. I don’t need every answer, I don’t need to control, Tonight I rest in stillness, And let serenity unfold. [Bridge] May this evening be gentle, May this heart grow light, May compassion be my companion, Through the silence of the night. May the storms lose all their power, May the mind release its race, May I find a deeper treasure, In the shelter of this grace. [Final Chorus] I choose peace over ego, Humility over pride, Wisdom over reaction, And a calmer way inside. The world can keep on turning, I release what I can’t hold, And rest beneath the stars tonight, In a peace more rich than gold. [Outro] May my heart be light, May my mind be still, May I rest in gentle peace, And awaken with goodwill.
