Happy to be purposeless and still
I breathe in my contentment and my soul
I let my heart rule rather than my will.
Of peace and calm we never have our fill
Our heart needs this to make us truly whole
Be happy to be purposeless and still
For if we cannot stop, we’ll pay the bill
Running till we’re weary after goals
So let the heart rule rather than the will.
In school we had imposed on us a drill
In the teacher’s image, in her mould.
Learn contentment,peace in keeping still
Gently let your mind its own thoughts mull
Let there be more emptiness, less pull.
Happy to be purposeless and still
I let my heart rule, hold back my quick will.
How my heart sings
