Take It Easy

Take it easy

Say good morning to the sun

Delight in the wonders of a day

Behold the last sunray

 

Greet the solitary old man

Sitting on a creaking bench

Tracing alleys of his past

 

Keep the peace, avoid all strife

Be forever grateful

For the precious gift of life

 

Take it easy

Sing a love song with a bird

Smell the scent rising to the sky

Dream that you are a butterfly

 

Stop chasing ephemeral and vain

Get off the speeding train

Going to a station called nowhere

 

Keep the peace, avoid all strife

Be forever grateful

For the precious gift of life

 

Take it easy

Smile to a tired mother

As if you were her friend

Show that you truly understand

 

Wave to a weeping child

Help her walk with pride

Hug the yearning child you have inside

 

Keep the peace, avoid all strife

Be forever grateful

For the precious gift of life

 

Take it easy

Go for a long walk deep in the woods

Listen to the silence of the universe

Learn nature’s language to converse

 

Stand still, of earth revere

The beauty and the grace

Of the forest absorb healing embrace

 

Keep the peace, avoid all strife

Be forever grateful

For the precious gift of life

 

Take it easy

Sit silently by a stream

Listen to the rhythm of your heart

Become enraptured in a dream

 

Don’t fret, do not regret

Just let it be, learn to let go

Love is all there is to know

 

Keep the peace, avoid all strife

Be forever grateful

For the precious gift of life
