LYRICS

No wait: no wait for me to change your life

Look to the miracle going on inside you

To all the farmers: you are your field

Tend to your land and grow your freedom


In each, a flower unfurling

A flower unfurling


No wait: no wait for anything - take to the sky

You are a phoenix rising, you are a monarch butterfly

Survey your kingdom with awakened eyes

See the spring and summer in the winter moonlight


In each, a river is flowing

A river is flowing


No wait: no wait for anyone for your peace of mind

Know your rhythm and bide your time

You are living miracle in constant change

And when you see this clearly, nothing will contain you


In each, a mystery unfolding

A mystery unfolding

In each, a wonder to behold

In everyone is a flower

A mystery, a wonder

In each, a story being told


In each, a river is flowing

In each, a river is flowing

In each, a river is flowing

In each, a river is flowing

In each, a river is flowing

In each, a river is flowing
