Equanimity

What ya gonna do when the light Slips from your eyes? And what will you keep bar the penny In your fist for the tide? Become the joke because you can't let go You suffer hurt because you can't let go Give the penny to the boatman See he guides you well Reflect upon the water As you reflect upon yourself This river always will be here Always rushing here All traces disappear So, as equanimity shows To try and stay in control And not fall apart Slow, the ataraxy will grow As the shepherd has shown Gentleness and kindness Is what our world needs now Find it in my heart somehow Oh yeah you know This river always will be here Always rushing here All traces disappear And soon, equanimity blooms Giving scent to the room You might not have noticed Ah, and so, some self control Might save the day Which is worth saving It's what our world needs now Let's find it in our hearts somehow You know, yeah, you know
