COME OUTSIDE THE SUN IS SHINING
AND THE SKY IS ENDLESS BLUE
THE LEAVES WILL SIGH THE WINDS REMINDING
THAT THIS LIFE WAS LENT TO YOU
SAY GOODBYE TO ALL THE BAD DAYS
SILVER LINED THOSE CLOUDS ROLL THROUGH
MAY YOU FIND WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY
IN THIS LIFE THAT'S LENT TO YOU
IN EVERYONE'S HEART THERE WILL BE SADNESS
FOR SOME OF THE CHOICES THAT WE MAKE
BUT THE RIVER OF TIME FLOWS BEHIND US
AND SOFTENS THE EDGE OF OUR MISTAKES
SO COME OUTSIDE AND WALK THIS GARDEN
DRINK THE LIGHT LIKE ROSES DO
GENTLE HEART DON'T EVER HARDEN
IN THIS LIFE THAT'S LENT TO YOU
This song just says it all to me. It's a celebration of stopping and being still and just breathing in what is already there that is good. Letting go of the old mistakes and waking up in the present moment. That's the best way I know to feel pure spirit.
