lyrics

VERSE 1
There is a reason that you're here
There is a reason that you're not
Feeling everything you could
If you had the time you would
But there are other things to do
You know where and with whom
While the energy is strong
And because it moves you

VERSE 2
How did it ever come to be
This feeling of uncertainty
Where every thought that you think up
Is second guessed and that locked up
I have different news for you:
You are sacred, you are true
Pay attention when you find
Something moves you

CHORUS
Patience is a stone - it's tied to a string
It's a pendulum inside never questioning
When the swinging will be over or what the swinging's for
Just allowing you the time to need to find
Your way down to the core

VERSE 3
I've been to heaven and to hell
There's really nothing much to tell
Both times you stumble through the gate
And you sit there and you wait
For something beautiful to come
Or pain that makes you come undone
But you could be anywhere
Cause it's you mind that takes you there
