Only Air

Lyrics : I ran until the road ran out, And then I felt a gentle doubt. My legs still burned to move ahead, But something whispered stop instead. I listened to that inner sound, And let my racing heart slow down. I asked myself what I was chasing, A hollow prize I kept replacing. Each step I took just carved a groove, A deeper rut I could not move. I thought the struggle made me strong, But I was humming someone else's song. I turned my eyes from shiny things, And felt the peace that stillness brings. I learned that stillness is a seed, And not a sign of failing need. I watered it with gentle care, And watched my purpose blossom there. No longer chasing empty miles, I started measuring in smiles. The frantic rush began to fade, A softer kind of strength I made. I chose the path that felt like home, Not the one that left me cold and lone. I saw the cage was of my mind, The lock was something I could find. I turned the key I held so tight, And stepped into a gentler light. The hurry melted from my bones, I spoke in softer, truer tones. I realized I was never late, My soul knew how to calmly wait. The race I thought I had to run, Was just a shadow of the sun. I stood in that bright, open air, And felt a love beyond compare. I found a rhythm soft and deep, A promise I could always keep. I turned around and everywhere, The wall I climbed was only air.`
