Lyrics

Hello, Shadow
Welcome to this form
Don’t fear you’ll disappear with every passing storm
Beyond the rainclouds, the sun will keep you warm until you see
What you’ve wanted to see

Oh Unenlightened, don’t try to wake too soon
Don’t wish for midnight in the early afternoon
Just like a butterfly who’s still in the cocoon, soon you’ll be
What you’ve wanted to be

There’s another chapter ’til the ending
Another mile until the race is won
Hold on
Just slow down
’cause everything will happen in its own right time
Be Now
Be Now

Meditation might take you for a ride
You make a breakthrough and you taste the other side
But now you’re back again, though heaven knows you’ve tried so hard to be
Where you’ve wanted to be

There’s another chapter ’til the ending
Another mile until the race is done
Hold on
Just slow down
’cause everything will happen in its own right time

Relax!
Time after time you feel you’re racing towards your destination
Time after time you feel so slow, slow, slow.
In spite of the signs they’re always posting at the railway station
The only way out is to let go

So you face the windows and you push aside the blinds
Your own reflection interferes with what’s behind
Just turn the inside lights off and suddenly you find that now you’ll see
What you’ve wanted to see

There’s another chapter ’til the ending
Or a million miles until the race is done
No matter
Look around
And let everything just happen in its own right time
Be Now
