I’ll sit here until I have peace in my soul
Until all the tension from my shoulders can fall
All the stories and burdens and secrets I hold
I’ll sit here until I have peace in my soul

I’ll sit and I’ll watch the fish leap in the lake
The water birds fly by, the sun from clouds break
The green of new sprung life, the brown of the old
I’ll sit here until I have peace in my soul

This morning I dreamed I might climb a great height
To look far and wide at all touched by the light
Then weariness held me and stillness did call
I’ll sit here until I have peace in my soul

In my heart moves a sadness I’ve not had skill to tend
Softness mistreated and breaks yet to mend
Now freed from those people and places so cold
I’ll sit here until I have peace in my soul

I’ll sit and I’ll watch the ants crawl in the grass
The leaves all a-tremble as the air hurries past
Water ripple and glint beneath trees standing tall
I’ll sit here until I have peace in my soul

See the sun ride her course, and the time trickle by
Shadows slow shifting and a lone butterfly
I’ll wait ‘til I feel it, her mystery unfold
I’ll sit here until I have peace in my soul

My speed turned to slowness
My aura white gold
My mind like still water
And peace in my soul
