歌詞

You look at the clock and you panic

You think that your life is too static

You whisper I have to move faster

Or everything ends in disaster

You stare at the dirt on your shoes

You feel like you already lose

But running will only breed rust

When all that you breathe is the dust

You measure your worth by the finish

You watch all your patience diminish

You scroll through a screen full of lies

And compare every tear in your eyes

The neighbors are buying a car

You wonder why you are not far

The pressure is heavy and cold

It makes you feel tired and old

Take a deep breath

Count up to ten

Hold it all in

Start it again

Nothing will grow overnight

You do not have to win every fight

It is not perfect and that is fine

You do not have to walk a straight line

A jagged edge is a beautiful shape

You do not need an instant escape

Let the dirt settle down on the ground

You are not lost you are just looking around

Give yourself time to just be

A crooked branch makes a beautiful tree

Take it slow

Let it go

Watch it grow

The calendar laughs on the wall

You worry you stumble and fall

You see other people run past

You wonder why you are the last

But look at the steps you have taken

The quiet old fears you have shaken

The paint on the canvas is drying

The secret to living is trying

You threw out the trash yesterday

You smiled at a dog on the way

These little things carry a weight

You are not early and you are not late

The puzzle is missing a piece

But maybe the rushing can cease

You do not need every detail

A boat with a hole can still sail

Take a deep breath

Count up to ten

Hold it all in

Start it again

Nothing will grow overnight

You do not have to win every fight

It is not perfect and that is fine

You do not have to walk a straight line

A jagged edge is a beautiful shape

You do not need an instant escape

Let the dirt settle down on the ground

You are not lost you are just looking around

Give yourself time to just be

A crooked branch makes a beautiful tree

Take it slow

Let it go

Watch it grow

A rush is a thief in the day

It steals all the moments away

The hurry will make you blind

To the treasures you left behind

Drop the heavy bag from your back

You are already right on the track

The mirror is telling the truth

You do not need eternal youth

So stop looking over your shoulder

You only are getting a bit older

The rush is a lie in your head

Just sleep in your comfortable bed

Take a deep breath

Count up to ten

Hold it all in

Start it again

Nothing will grow overnight

You do not have to win every fight

It is not perfect and that is fine

You do not have to walk a straight line

A jagged edge is a beautiful shape

You do not need an instant escape

Let the dirt settle down on the ground

You are not lost you are just looking around

Give yourself time to just be

A crooked branch makes a beautiful tree

It is not perfect and that is fine

You do not have to walk a straight line

A jagged edge is a beautiful shape

You do not need an instant escape

Let the dirt settle down on the ground

You are not lost you are just looking around

Give yourself time to just be

A crooked branch makes a beautiful tree

It is not perfect

Never was

Never will be

And that is the beauty

Just breathe

Just stay

Walk at your pace today
