I could sit in this chair for a thousand years
And watch the woods consume the neighborhood
Watch the ambitions come and go
Surround me and engulf me
We could ditch the tv and spend a little more time reading
Books and singing songs on the porch
Sit here watching the daylight wane
Leaving little trace and even less memory
I just want to be still
I just want to be still
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever be free of these
Things that are weighing heavy on me
That keep me from doing or going or knowing
The sun comes up and I go back to sleep
In our so called liberation of self
We have only bound the shackles more tightly
Free up your mind and start thinking a good thought
Free your mind and be still
Free your mind and be still
Free your mind and be still
And be still
Time has brought us up to this point
It will carry us far beyond it until
We are nothing sometimes I feel like we're just
Words on a page
Close your eyes and be still
Close your eyes and be still
Close your eyes and be still
And be still
