Pick it up
The off
Where you left it
Pick up where you left off
Walk behind yourself for one day
See what you see
Watch how you see it
You’ll be taken aback
Back before you left off
Close your eyes
Breathe quietly
Inward quiet
Not just outward
Now …
Pick up where you left off
There’s a secret
Living inside you
A bit of a paradox
Being it’s not a secret
If you already know
But that’s …
Back before you left off
The sky still looks the same
Thousands of years later
As you look up again
Same grin, new chin
Eager as ever, ready to …
Pick up where you left off

Pick it up
The off
Where you left it
Pick up where you left off
Walk behind yourself for one day
See what you see
Watch how you see it
You’ll be taken aback
Back before you left off
Close your eyes
Breathe quietly
Inward quiet
Not just outward
Now …
Pick up where you left off
There’s a secret
Living inside you
A bit of a paradox
Being it’s not a secret
If you already know
But that’s …
Back before you left off
The sky still looks the same
Thousands of years later
As you look up again
Same grin, new chin
Eager as ever, ready to …
Pick up where you left off
