Peaceful Hour

This is the peaceful hour.
There's no need to think now,
no need to keep on your guard.
You can relax now.
Really relax, the way you thought was impossible.
You can keep breathing,
and the world will move along with you.
You never have to carry anything.
You don't have to worry.
This is what happens when you let go.
Isn't it so lovely,
to let go for a little while,
to let someone else take the wheel?
You won't have to worry about a thing.
I'll keep you safe.
I'll watch over you,
and I'll save you from every danger.
There's no need for that anxiety,
and there's no need for all that worry.
I'll keep the bad things away,
and you'll never have to worry again.
You can just daydream,
just soar in the clouds
and never have to worry.
You're so safe here,
you're so very safe.
There's not a thing to hold onto,
there's not a solid thing in this world.
Let go of your worry.
Let go of yourself.
This is peace.
This is wholeness.
You'll never hurt again.
Don't worry, it won't hurt you.
Don't worry, I won't hurt you.
Keep a hold on nothing,
you sweet little nothing-creature.
Let it go, let it all go.
Remember what you were,
and think of what you'll be.
Think of how quiet the night,
how gorgeous the day.
Think of beauty, and warmth,
and a million fuzzy things that won't hurt.
You'll be just fine.
This is life.
This is the wonder of life.
This is beauty and joy and laughter.
You can be free here.
You can be free here.
