The Answers Within
by John O'Connell
4.10min
I slept well last night,
I gave up my worries, I went out like a light.
Before I transcend,
I asked for an answer, which morning did bring.
You're running in vain,
You're just closing pain inside your own heart.
Oh be kind to yourself,
And think of the openings waiting for you.
I live in a dream,
I only return when it's time to pretend.
With my true self in doubt,
A ship with no anchor, no compass, no map.
But your thoughts are your guide,
Your life is an ocean, your heart is a stern.
Oh you're all that you need,
You've been searching outside when the answer's within.
With the world at your feet ,
But you never look down 'cause your head in the clouds.
Come down from that place,
Take a look at yourself in the mirror of truth,
Your costume is faded,
Your label is out-dated, there's pain in pretend,
You're all that you need,
You've been searching outside when the answers within.
I slept well last night,
I gave up my worries, I went out like a light.
From deep in my mind,
A message unfolded, I've been so unkind.
Regret was a friend,
While wishing and hoping stayed true to the end.
But there's no one to blame,
Ambivalence reined, I got lost in myself.
