Work hard
Live slow
Know nothing
About the reason
Oh you're told
Next to nothing
Beyond some feelings
Devoid of meaning
They were stripped away
When you were told to
Feel okay with
Day to day
Some thoughts take time
You can't afford
Like hope on [C7]ɾails
You're waiting for
I know
This silent living
Feels unforgiving
Don't give in
So soon
I know
This silent living
Isn't yet written
Can you [A7begin
To bloom
Become yourself
No admonition
You have permission
Oh each new step is lighter
You make your meaning
You aren't your feelings
Worry slips away when you [A7are told to
Feel the way you [A7feel today
Your life takes time you [A7can afford
Like stepping stones along [Am]the shore
I know
This silent living
Feels unforgiving
Don't give in
So soon
I know
This silent living
Isn't yet written
Can you [A7begin
To bloom
It all [Em]starts with you
