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
