A song called Zen Kind of Life

28 Dec

Winds that whisper

Into my soul

Change the course of life

Or so I’m told

They keep shifting

And blowing away

If only I knew what

They have to say

Cause the past has a way

Of depressing me

The worries of the future

They keep stressing me

All I ever wanted

Is to be happy

Keep the weight of the world

From crushing me

This zen kind of life

Taking over me

A zen kind of life

Will set me free

Tides that turn and

Bring me ashore

Once lost adrift

And searching for more

Until the birds

They called to me

Saying close your eyes

Yeah, breathe and just be

Watching the stars

Twinkle and shine

Saying look inward

For what’s most divine

/Chorus/

Past lessons- no need for sorrow

Future fears- no need to borrow

All that counts is here and now

All that matters to me anyhow

Feel the flow of energy

Coursing in and out of me

Kindred spirits, rays of light

It’s a zen, zen kind of life

So much chaos

We can’t control

Mustn’t chip away

What’s truly whole

No day is less

Than wonderful

No breath we breathe

Is trivial

If it’s a choice 

I want it all

No, nothing less

Than magical

/chorus and fade/
