Nowness
Discovering Silence: Embracing the Nowness Within
Lyrics
In all this noise
In the midst of chaos and commotion
The smallest voice lies in wait
The quietest, most subtle expression waits
For the listener breaks through the roar
To be heard when the attentive listener transcends the noise
A world on fire
A world engulfed in flames, symbolizing turmoil
The factions vie for attention
Factions competing for notice and recognition
Your self-imposed pressure absorbs your mind
Your self-imposed stress consumes your thoughts
Close your eyes
Encouragement to shut out external distractions
Let it find you, the stillness inside
To discover the calmness within
Too many tales untold
Many stories left untold
Life placed on hold
Life paused, waiting for a secure choice
While the author is lost looking for a safe bet
The creator searching for a safe option
But none can know
No one can truly understand
Where this goes
The uncertainty of where the journey leads
The illusion of past and of future besets your mind
The deceptive nature of the past and future troubles your mind
Close your eyes
Suggesting a repetition of closing out external influences
Let it find you, the nowness inside
To uncover the present moment's serenity
Baby you don't have to know the outcome
Reassurance that knowing the future is unnecessary
To know that you're headed in the right direction
Confidence in being on the correct path despite uncertainty
You are a compass pointing north
A metaphorical representation of being a guiding force
And this way is only yours
Emphasizing the uniqueness of one's chosen direction
You already have the answer in you
A reminder that the answers lie within oneself
It's the bell that's ringing on the plain truth
Reference to a bell symbolizing a clear and honest truth
Listen and keep listening
Encouragement to actively listen and continue listening
Listen and keep listening
-Baby you don't have to know the outcome
Reiteration of confidence in the chosen path
To know that you're headed in the right direction
-You are a compass pointing north
-And this way is only yours
-Listen and keep listening
Repeated emphasis on the importance of continuous listening
(Baby you don't have to know the outcome)
-Listen and keep listening
-(To know that you're headed in the right direction)
-Listen and keep listening
-(You are a compass pointing north)
-Listen and keep listening
-(And this way is only yours)
-Listen and keep listening
Further reinforcement of the idea of perpetual listening
(You already have the answer in you)
-Listen and keep listening
-(It's the bell that's ringing on the plain truth)
-Listen and keep listening
-Listen and keep listening
