Be still racing thoughts, wild mind
Going over the past scenario won’t change the results
Banging your head and hurling hurtful words won’t change how you feel
Instead, be still and take it in
What’s happened, has happened; all gone
What will happen, can change; you can try
So be still racing thoughts, wild mind
Take in the good, let go of the crazy stuff
Take a breath, let it out
Count your blessings, calm down
It’s hardly ever as bad as it seems, and if it is, it’s already happened
Be still because you can’t control people’s opinions and their thoughts of you
So be still racing thoughts, wild mind
Today is gone; tomorrow might be better. There’s that possibility
Shake it off, lift yourself up
You could be standing on the edge of the Sahara; a few more steps, then life
Don’t stop, look ahead, keep moving
Possibilities abound which your mind can’t comprehend
So be still racing thoughts, wild mind
