Pause

Sometimes there's too much focus on what I lack Completely losing sight of all I have Problems arise to trip us on our path When things may not be perfect And I wonder if it's worth it Be still, take a moment to see Sometimes I just need to pause Open my eyes to the awe Breathe slowly and fully Search for the beauty In my soul or a friend In how the trees bend Feel the breeze on my skin Take it all in And pause, oh pause Frustration can be a common theme When I'm out chasing all my dreams Surrounded by naysayers it seems When things may not be perfect And I wonder if it's worth it Be still, take a moment to see Sometimes I just need to pause Open my eyes to the awe Breathe slowly and fully Search for the beauty In my soul or a friend In how the trees bend Feel the breeze on my skin Take it all in And pause, oh pause There's so much in so little Like tears when you laugh The music in a giggle From a child on your lap These are the moments True riches of life Pause, take the time Don't let them pass you by Slow down Slow down Sometimes we all need to pause Open our eyes to the awe Breathe slowly and fully Search for the beauty In your soul or a friend In how the trees bend Feel the breeze on your skin Take it all in and Pause, oh pause Pause
