Free Your Peace
First close your eyes to release, to unwind,
Drop the careless chase, leave all that noise behind.
Let your spirits soar, let your heart cease,
Embrace the stillness, free your peace!
Unravel the chains that bind your mind,
Seek that inner calmness, it’s all yours to find.
Untangle it link by link with nonstop reprise,
Embrace stillness, free your peace!
Free your soul from the need of the fight,
Float like the rays of sunshine, feel all the light.
Live in the moment, choosing never to leave,
Embrace this stillness, free your peace!
So tune yourself close to nature’s hum,
It is within this simple beat, where we all will find calm.
Let it flow like rivers to the sea,
Embrace that stillness, free your peace!
Take a deep breathe of this moment’s quiet call,
You’ll find your place within it all.
Where every intake seeks a soft reprieve,
Embrace all that stillness, free your peace!
This world spins fast, but it is time to slow,
Especially when you learn to simply let go.
So set yourself loose, and simple be.
That’s right, free your peace!
