No wait: no wait for me to change your life
Look to the miracle going on inside you
To all the farmers: you are your field
Tend to your land and grow your freedom

In each, a flower unfurling
A flower unfurling

No wait: no wait for anything - take to the sky
You are a phoenix rising, you are a monarch butterfly
Survey your kingdom with awakened eyes
See the spring and summer in the winter moonlight

In each, a river is flowing
A river is flowing

No wait: no wait for anyone for your peace of mind
Know your rhythm and bide your time
You are living miracle in constant change
And when you see this clearly, nothing will contain you

In each, a mystery unfolding
A mystery unfolding
In each, a wonder to behold
In everyone is a flower
A mystery, a wonder
In each, a story being told

In each, a river is flowing
In each, a river is flowing
In each, a river is flowing
In each, a river is flowing
In each, a river is flowing
In each, a river is flowing
