We've all felt the weight of the world coming down upon our shoulders
We've all felt the growing pains as our generation gets older
I think it's time we took all this suffering and turned it to something great
So look inside, we are the change for which we wait
Brother, sister, I see your despair
Look inside, there's a calm center in there
Brother, I see your despair
Mother, father, I feel your despair
Look inside, there's a calm center in there
Mother, I feel your despair
It's that impending sense of doom
That you feel most afternoons
It doesn't have to resume
I've been there, I know what it's like to wake up
And feel stuck, like a prison replaced your room
Oh, but it goes deeper than that, try to run but you can't
Look for love just to feel okay
Or drink the pain away, but it's right back the very next day
Oh, don't give up, take a breath, sit with it
I know, you've been desperately missing it
That's the high that's been there this whole time
Brother, sister, I see your despair
Look inside, there's a calm center in there
Brother, I see your despair
Mother, father, I feel your despair
Look inside, there's a calm center in there
Mother, I feel your despair
Eye of the hurricane, peace in the chaos
Right here where we meditate, piercing the layers
