Equanimity

What you gonna do when the light slips from your eyes?
And what will you keep but the penny in your fists 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
Our way is rushing here
Our 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
Our way is rushing here
Our 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
Is what our world needs now
Is find it in our hearts somehow
You know
Yeah, you know
