Turn Away to See

“Turn Away to See”

The city’s noise, the flashing lights,
They paint a world in black and white.
But somewhere past the neon glow,
There’s something deeper we should know.

Close your eyes, step aside,
Feel the silence open wide.
Sometimes the truth is out of sight,
Hidden in the quiet night.

Turn away to see it clear,
Step beyond the haze of here.
Lose yourself to find the way,
Let the world fade for a day.
Only in the space between,
Can we know what life can mean.

They say to chase, they say to run,
To grasp the world and call it won.
But every answer, every key,
Lives in what we fail to see.

Close your eyes, step aside,
Feel the silence open wide.
Sometimes the truth is out of sight,
Hidden in the quiet night.

Turn away to see it clear,
Step beyond the haze of here.
Lose yourself to find the way,
Let the world fade for a day.
Only in the space between,
Can we know what life can mean.

Mountains whisper, rivers hum,
Stars will sing when words are done.
When you pause, when you breathe,
That’s the moment you are free.

Turn away, just for a while,
See the world beyond the trial.
Close your eyes, let it be,
And only then, will you see.
