[04:52.00]City lights are flickering in the street
[04:52.00]Brushing past the strangers that I meet
[04:52.00]Swallow every word, hide them in my coat
[04:52.00]"See you tomorrow," is the only note... I whisper to the night
[04:52.00]Someone else’s"answer" shines so bright
[04:52.00]Making my own shadow lose the light
[04:52.00]Comparing every step, feeling out of place
[04:52.00]I’m losing sight of my own tired face
[04:52.00]"Do it right," the voices ring so loud
[04:52.00]Walking through the shadows of the crowd
[04:52.00]But is it okay? Can I just be me?
[04:52.00]Is there a day where I can finally feel free?
[04:52.00]Take it easy, that’s just enough for now
[04:52.00]You don’t have to carry it all, I’ll show you how
[04:52.00]Even if you’re slow, even if you’re lost
[04:52.00]Getting through today is worth any cost
[04:52.00]Take it easy, it’s okay to be small
[04:52.00]You don’t have to stand so proud and tall
[04:52.00]If you can make it through the quiet of the night
[04:52.00]That’s enough to win the secret fight
[04:52.00]Half-empty can, getting warm and flat
[04:52.00]No proof of my hard work, just a chat
[04:52.00]A tired face that no one ever sees
[04:52.00]But tomorrow’s coming on the midnight breeze
[04:52.00]The more they expect, the farther I run
[04:52.00]Looking for a reason to say I’m done
[04:52.00]But then I realized, right where I stand
[04:52.00]This is the place I chose with my own hand
[04:52.00]Take it easy, keep a little space
[04:52.00]Just enough to keep a steady pace
[04:52.00]Even if you’re clumsy, even if you’re weak
[04:52.00]You’re still right here, and that’s the truth you seek
[04:52.00]Take it easy, don’t rush to find the end
[04:52.00]The night wind is calling like a friend
[04:52.00]Pushing at your back, helping you to go
[04:52.00]At a rhythm only you could ever know
[04:52.00]Perfection is a lie! – Just living is the prize!
[04:52.00]In the middle of the dark! – Open up your eyes!
[04:52.00]You don’t have to shine, you don’t have to glow
[04:52.00]Just find the speed that lets your spirit grow
[04:52.00]Tomorrow’s waiting! – Don’t you be afraid!
[04:52.00]The foundation of your life is already made!
[04:52.00]You don’t have to be grand
[04:52.00]You don’t have to be strong
[04:52.00]The road you’ve walked all along
[04:52.00]Is never, ever wrong
[04:52.00]Your tears and your weakness, let them be
[04:52.00]The colors of the person you’re meant to be
[04:52.00]Forgive yourself, hold your heart tight
[04:52.00]It’s gonna be alright
[04:52.00]Take it easy, don’t blame yourself today
[04:52.00]Let the heavy feelings fade away
[04:52.00]If you can find the way back to your soul
[04:52.00]That’s the only way to make yourself whole
[04:52.00]Take it easy, this is your speed tonight
[04:52.00]Wait until the timing feels just right
[04:52.00]Just breathe right here, until the shadows flee
[04:52.00]This is the only place you need to be
[04:52.00]The traffic light changes
[04:52.00]The city stays still
[04:52.00]"It’s okay," I whispered
[04:52.00]With a quiet will
[04:52.00]Take a deep breath
[04:52.00]One more try
[04:52.00]See you tomorrow
[04:52.00]At my own pace... under the sky
