about

Notes: This is a song about stopping to breathe. Our lives move and change, as does the world around us. We can never stop that from happening, even if we want to. But we can go out into nature, and stand still. Everything is is still moving, but we can watch, and ponder. We can listen to to ourselves and to the world. It's simple to forget to do it, so I wrote a song to remind myself.

lyrics

Standing in the open
Looking at the sky
It changes in a moment
As surely so do I

Standing in the open
Holding onto something good

Quiet for an hour
Listening to my thoughts
The ones that overpower
The ones that vex me not

Standing in the open
Hanging onto something true
