Lyric

City lights are flickering in the street

Brushing past the strangers that I meet

Swallow every word, hide them in my coat

"See you tomorrow," is the only note... I whisper to the night

Someone else’s "answer" shines so bright

Making my own shadow lose the light

Comparing every step, feeling out of place

I’m losing sight of my own tired face

"Do it right," the voices ring so loud

Walking through the shadows of the crowd

But is it okay? Can I just be me?

Is there a day where I can finally feel free?

Take it easy, that’s just enough for now

You don’t have to carry it all, I’ll show you how

Even if you’re slow, even if you’re lost

Getting through today is worth any cost

Take it easy, it’s okay to be small

You don’t have to stand so proud and tall

If you can make it through the quiet of the night

That’s enough to win the secret fight

Half-empty can, getting warm and flat

No proof of my hard work, just a chat

A tired face that no one ever sees

But tomorrow’s coming on the midnight breeze

The more they expect, the farther I run

Looking for a reason to say I’m done

But then I realized, right where I stand

This is the place I chose with my own hand

Take it easy, keep a little space

Just enough to keep a steady pace

Even if you’re clumsy, even if you’re weak

You’re still right here, and that’s the truth you seek

Take it easy, don’t rush to find the end

The night wind is calling like a friend

Pushing at your back, helping you to go

At a rhythm only you could ever know

Perfection is a lie! – Just living is the prize!

In the middle of the dark! – Open up your eyes!

You don’t have to shine, you don’t have to glow

Just find the speed that lets your spirit grow

Tomorrow’s waiting! – Don’t you be afraid!

The foundation of your life is already made!

You don’t have to be grand

You don’t have to be strong

The road you’ve walked all along

Is never, ever wrong

Your tears and your weakness, let them be

The colors of the person you’re meant to be

Forgive yourself, hold your heart tight

It’s gonna be alright

Take it easy, don’t blame yourself today

Let the heavy feelings fade away

If you can find the way back to your soul

That’s the only way to make yourself whole

Take it easy, this is your speed tonight

Wait until the timing feels just right

Just breathe right here, until the shadows flee

This is the only place you need to be

The traffic light changes

The city stays still

"It’s okay," I whispered

With a quiet will

Take a deep breath

One more try

See you tomorrow

At my own pace... under the sky
