     Ebm 
What ya gonna do when the light 
                    B7  Bb7 
Slips from your eyes?

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

Reflect upon the water

As you reflect upon yourself

Always rushing here

All traces disappear 


[Ponte]

 Eb                  Fm 
So, as equanimity shows 
             Fº                  
To try and stay in control 
               Eb 
And not fall apart 
 Eb                    Fm 
Slow, the ataraxy will grow 
                   Fº 
As the shepherd has shown 
                      Cm   Gm 
Gentleness and kindness 
 Cm            Gm         Cm   Gm 
Is what our world needs now 
 Cm            Gm 
Find it in my heart somehow 
 Ab           Bb 
Oh yeah you know

And soon, equanimity blooms

Giving scent to the room

You might not have noticed
