Lyric

Sun on the dishes

Steam on the glass

Coffee goes cold

But I don’t rush past

You laugh at nothing

I forget the news

In this small kitchen

I just choose

To let the world be loud

And keep my breathing slow

Let every heavy thought

Find somewhere else to go

I’m learning how to live

Inside a lighter art

A gentle riot of the heart

Cars in a hurry

Stacked at the light

Someone is cursing

Someone’s too right

I miss the green

And we’re stuck in place

So I turn to you

And I trace your face

I let the world be loud

And keep my breathing slow

Let every crowded lane

Lose all its pull and glow

I’m learning how to live

Inside a lighter art

A gentle riot of the heart

Rain on the window

Drums on the sill

Plans fall apart

The sky gets its fill

You light a candle

Set one small flame

Suddenly weather

Can’t say my name

So let the world be loud

I’ll keep my breathing slow

Let every passing storm

Be part of how we grow

I’m learning how to live

Inside a lighter art

A gentle riot of the heart

Years on the table

Wrinkles and rings

Stories we folded

Into these things

If fear starts talking

In an anxious rush

We answer softly

And it starts to hush

We are not the noise (Oh no)

We are not the race

We are every quiet choice

To open up a space

Where anger loses teeth

And sorrow falls apart

Where peace walks in on bare feet

And makes a home in the heart
