Breathe in Breathe Out
Embrace Today: Finding Wealth in Life's Simple Breath
Lyrics
I always think tomorrow will be better
I often anticipate that the future will bring improvement.
That there will come a day when I arrive
I expect a day when I will reach a certain point or achievement.
That the list of everything I've got to do
There's a belief that my to-do list will eventually become empty.
Will be a page of empty lines
Anticipation of a time when there are no tasks on my list.
I apologize to myself for living in the future
I express regret to myself for consistently focusing on the future.
And letting what's ahead get in the way
I acknowledge that looking ahead often hinders appreciating the present.
Because if happiness is always down the road
If happiness is always in the future, it's being missed in the present.
Then I'm missing it today
A realization that happiness should be experienced in the current moment.
Breathe in, Breathe out
An encouragement to take a moment to inhale and exhale.
Slow down, slow down
An advice to slow down and not rush through life.
Everybody look around
An invitation for everyone to observe their surroundings.
Life is where we are now
Emphasizing that life is happening in the present moment.
Breathe in, Breathe out
A repetition of the advice to breathe in and breathe out.
I don't need no money to be wealthy
Contentment is not dependent on wealth or money.
There's more to life than working for green
Life has more dimensions than the pursuit of financial gain.
Climbing all these ladders doesn't matter
The futility of climbing ladders and chasing irrelevant goals.
I've got everything I need
A recognition of having everything essential for contentment.
Breathe in, Breathe out
A repetition of the advice to breathe in and breathe out.
Slow down, slow down
Reiterating the importance of slowing down in life.
Everybody look around
Encouragement for everyone to be aware of their current life.
Life is where we are now
Highlighting that life is happening in the present moment.
Breathe in, Breathe out
A repetition of the advice to breathe in and breathe out.
I'm running a race that no one wins
Acknowledging the futile nature of a competitive and endless race.
And setting the pace for the Joneses
Setting a pace for others to follow but realizing its futility.
But I see the warning signs
Noticing warning signs in the pursuit of a meaningless race.
Those yellow flashing lights
A reference to caution signals, possibly indicating the need to slow down.
And I wonder why
Expressing curiosity about the reasons behind the pursuit.
Breathe in, Breathe out
A repetition of the advice to breathe in and breathe out.
Slow down, slow down
Reiterating the importance of slowing down in life.
Everybody look around
Encouragement for everyone to be aware of their current life.
Life is where we are now
Highlighting that life is happening in the present moment.
Breathe in, Breathe out
A repetition of the advice to breathe in and breathe out.
