Lyric

Art of Staying Still

Tera Kira

Hearts are drifting, pulling away from the shore

I cling to you, though I can't hold on anymore

Words I offer, they vanish in the air

Buried in the weight of the silence we share

I hid my tears, kept a lid on my pain

Locked in the dark, denying the rain

But then I awoke, to the truth I could see

I’m just human, fragile and free

Drifting away, like a cloud in the blue

I whispered "thank you," bidding farewell to you

You travel the streets, like a breeze passing by

While I stand here grounded, beneath the vast sky

I wanted to follow, to chase where you go

But I am the pole, standing firm, standing low

Some aim for the clouds, with their heads held so high

Looking down on the world, with a cold, hollow sigh

But that's just a pride, a vision untrue

We’re rooted in earth, in the things that we do

The clouds cry and laugh, as they wander the town

The people, they weep, then they turn it around

Traveling the earth, on a journey of grace

Searching for meaning, in this endless space

Drifting away, like a cloud in the blue

I whispered "thank you," bidding farewell to you

You travel the streets, like a breeze passing by

While I stand here grounded, beneath the vast sky

I wanted to follow, to chase where you go

But I am the pole, standing firm, standing low

We laugh and we cry, the seasons unfold

The sky feels the sorrow, the stories are told

Yes, we are the weather, the storms, and the light

The humanity living, in the day and the night

People are skies

Filled with the joy, and the tears that we rise

We are the air

The sky is within us, everywhere
