Getting There

So this is what it sounds like To be list'ning for a moment. To tune out chatter in my head And tune into the world instead. And this is what it looks like With eyes open for a moment To notice what's outside of me To look around and really see And there's a strange kind of clarity A strange kind of harmony And I stop and breathe the life that's in the air So this is what it feels like to be here... Instead of getting there Just look at all these people Colliding for a moment I've trained myself to just ignore And shut the chaos out before But this is how it feels To be alive in new york city To stop and live inside my skin To breathe and let the madness in... To let in the heat of all the bodies The vibration of the car To see all these different faces And the clues to who they are And there's gum on the seats And graffiti on the wall But it's real And it's here And i'm part of it all! So this is what it feels like To be happy in the moment To realize it's okay We all get stuck along the way And there's a strange kind of family A strange kind of harmony You can feel if you're open and aware And this is what it feels like to be here... And happy in the moment... And getting there!! Getting there!
