Lyrics

 
	      MINDFULNESS IS A THING
		  
All my life, 
I wondered when my final breath would be.
Then one night,
A bright light filled up my mind.

It used to be,
I was lost in the echoes of yesterday 
Or my mind 
was filled with a future of fear!

	Why did she say that?
		 I can’t believe them
    What if I fail this
		 What was I thinking
    I’ll never make it
		 I said the wrong thing
    Nobody likes me
		 I missed the party
    I’ve got to speak up
		 nobody notices
    We’ve got to break up
		 Why do they judge me
    I wasn’t funny
		 I wasn’t ready
    Nobody likes me

Mindfulness is a thing.
Just to be is a miracle.

The old ones say
Mind movies will make my life miserable
Turn away
We will watch them no more

Our minds are still
Falling into the flow of our breathing
We find our peace
Dropping the chaos of mind

The body is sacred
And that’s where your pain is
Turn your mind inward
What you’ll find is nameless

And no one can tell you
You just   have to do it
Just sitting and being
Will bring you right to it

Mindfulness is a thing,
Just to be, is a miracle.
Find the Sacred within,
Just to be, is a miracle.
