What if For just a moment in time We pressed pause on the world passing by Silencing the inner mumblings that tell us all these lies And actually forgive ourselves for once in our lives You know all that weight we carry around The kind that causes us to be confined in our mind Couldn't we just hold it in our palms And let the wind sweep it to oblivion So that we're no longer haunted by the sound Quieting our personal qualms We can then make space in our hearts to accept actual love The kind we once thought we didn't deserve We need a whole lot more, from what I've observed We can pause our own world In this moment make the conscious choice To allow the heaviness to sink The ongoing commotion to fade To a dull white noise with little voice With a deep breath in Then let it all go None of it matters when you put it in perspective We're only human and that's all we can be The only ones that hold our own key Right now it's our critical objective To set our minds free

Forgive Your Own Mind
What if For just a moment in time We pressed pause on the world passing by Silencing the inner mumblings that tell us all these lies And actually forgive ourselves for once in our lives You know all that weight we carry around The kind that causes us to be confined in our mind Couldn't we just hold it in our palms And let the wind sweep it to oblivion So that we're no longer haunted by the sound Quieting our personal qualms We can then make space in our hearts to accept actual love The kind we once thought we didn't deserve We need a whole lot more, from what I've observed We can pause our own world In this moment make the conscious choice To allow the heaviness to sink The ongoing commotion to fade To a dull white noise with little voice With a deep breath in Then let it all go None of it matters when you put it in perspective We're only human and that's all we can be The only ones that hold our own key Right now it's our critical objective To set our minds free
