I know that you've been anxious Feeling like their ain't enough hours in the day And life can be so thankless Getting nothing back for the ways you make a change I know that you've been angered Calling out and cursing God every time you pray But stop and smell the flowers on your way Stop and the smell the flowers on your way Can you spare a penny for my thoughts or something more? Looking for shrapnel on the floor outside the corner store When we were at our poorest Counting coins for the meter With no food left in the freezer And a preacher spitting through the speaker - Lord have mercy I pray that change gone' come And my God can make a way when there ain't no one I feel enslaved to the sums with more month then funds Chased by these debts and regrets and these pests that I can't outrun Take some time and find the lies behind the rage Coz' of the spirit of this age has me feeling like I'm caged Demons feanin' on my dreams feasting on my brain stealing my domain I need a peace that can't be reasoned or explained I keep on praying I know that you've been anxious Feeling like their ain't enough hours in the day And life can be so thankless Getting nothing back for the ways you make a change I know that you've been angered Calling out and cursing God every time you pray But stop and smell the flowers on your way Stop and the smell the flowers on your way Anxious about the evidence Of my influence and relevance My penmanship is heaven sent But the devil's on my neck again Wish I could tell a friend I've been walking through hell again Up at night from Mixing Ardbeg with adrenaline Life is fleeting I learnt more from recovery meetings Then hearing preachers speaking Ain't no teacher like my weakness A broken man once told me "There's difference between being lonely And solitude that confronts And consoles your own self loathing" He said until you've been alone And faced What only you control You'll keep reeling havoc on the world Whilst acting like it's not your fault So keep forgiving Keep listening and bearing witness You'll find a peace without conditions That that transcends and won't diminish I know that you've been anxious Feeling like their ain't enough hours in the day And life can be so thankless Getting nothing back for the ways you make a change I know that you've been angered Calling out and cursing God every time you pray But stop and smell the flowers on your way Stop and the smell the flowers on your way When your peace is lost And it can't be found Look up, look down Look around When your peace is lost And it can't be found Look up, look down Look around When your peace is lost And it can't be found Look up, look down Look around When your peace is lost And it can't be found Look up, look down Look around When your peace is lost And it can't be found Look up, look down Look around When your peace is lost And it can't be found Look up, look down Look around
