You Are Not Your Thoughts

[Verse 1 Bubba] I woke up in a worry about a road I'd never seen, Heard a dozen little voices telling me what I should be. A memory said you're broken, tomorrow said you'll fall, Then a sparrow sang outside my door, I didn't answer them at all. [Chorus Duet] You're not every thought that passes through your mind, Not every rolling thundercloud that leaves the sun behind. Let them rise and let them wander, give your tired heart some room, You can watch a storm go passing without moving in the gloom. [Verse 2 Darlene] Some thoughts dress in golden ribbons, some come dressed in gray, Some will tell you you're the greatest, some will steal your day. You can hear their passing footsteps and let them walk on by, Like shadows moving gently underneath a Georgia sky. [Chorus Duet] You're not every thought that passes through your mind, Not every rolling thundercloud that leaves the sun behind. Let them rise and let them wander, give your tired heart some room, You can watch a storm go passing without moving in the gloom. [Bridge Call and Response] [Bubba] Does a cloud become the heavens? [Darlene] No, it travels through the blue. [Bubba] Does a worry own the morning? [Darlene] No, it doesn't own you. [Duet] Let the sunshine through. [Final Chorus Duet] Take a breath and hear the birdsong, let the new day start anew, There's a life beyond the noise and a little peace for you. [Outro Harmonica]
