There's so much that can send you up or down
Tampering with what you fear may bring you down
It's as if people can hold up walls of energy
That, after you converse, you wonder what you were thinking
That's why I drift towards the sea and the stars
There's a state of acceptance that fills in my body like no other
It's amazing how one can be distracted and stressed
When you are unaware that you're exactly where you're supposed to be
Sink deep into the water, and make love to the sky
Do not dream of the future, nor dwell on the past
There's no lack of worth, nor world out there
Life isn't a progression, a series of accomplishments to be achieved
Your ignoring of the truth is that - a form of slavery
Driven by a need to be useful rather than just be free
There's no show of beauty nor intelligence that is required just to be
There's no path of steps needed to follow by someone's role model
When you look past the magic, when you eradicate the seeds of doubt
When you escape from your anxiety, you'll be free
