LYRICS
"TAKE A MOMENT"
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
You’re checking the list and you’re checking it twice
Giving everybody else the best of your advice.
The phone is buzzing like a bee in a jar
But you’ve forgotten just how lovely you are.
The laundry can wait, the emails can stay
The world’s gonna spin if you just walk away.
It’s not a surrender, it’s not a defeat
It’s just a little rhythm for your dancing feet.
[Pre-Chorus]
The sky won’t fall if you close your eyes
It’s time to give yourself a sweet surprise.
[Chorus]
So take a little moment, let it all go
Move a little bit more steady and slow.
It’s okay to pause, it’s okay to be
The captain of a ship on a very calm sea.
You’re still the magic, you’re still the soul
Even when you’re letting go of the control.
(Vocal ad-lib: Just let it go, girl)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
You think if you stop that the engine will stall
That the house and the garden are gonna surely fall.
But even the moon takes a night to be still
And the sun hides away behind the big hill.
You’re not losing ground, you’re just finding your grace
Stepping out of the noise and the frantic race.
Put the kettle on high, put your feet on the chair
There’s a beautiful peace in the midday air.
[Chorus]
So take a little moment, let it all go
Move a little bit more steady and slow. It’s okay to pause, it’s okay to be
The captain of a ship on a very calm sea.
You’re still the magic, you’re still the soul
Even when you’re letting go of the control.
[Verse 2]
You think if you stop that the engine will stall
That the house and the garden are gonna surely fall.
But even the moon takes a night to be still
And the sun hides away behind the big hill.
You’re not losing ground, you’re just finding your grace
Stepping out of the noise and the frantic race.
Put the kettle on high, put your feet on the chair
There’s a beautiful peace in the midday air.
[Chorus]
So take a little moment, let it all go
Move a little bit more steady and slow.
It’s okay to pause, it’s okay to be
The captain of a ship on a very calm sea.
You’re still the magic, you’re still the soul
Even when you’re letting go of the control.
[Instrumental Break]
[Final Chorus]
So take a little moment, let it all go
Move a little bit more steady and slow.
It’s okay to pause, it’s okay to be
The captain of a ship on a very calm sea.
You’re still the magic, you’re still the soul
Even when you’re letting go of the control.
[Outro]
You’re still the magic, you’re still the soul
Even when you’re letting go of the control.
