Running on a borrowed time
Chasing dawn, afraid to fall behind
Every heartbeat, racing fast
Trying to outrun the past
But in the stillness, I hear a sound
A gentle whisper calling out
Maybe I don’t have to try
So hard just to survive
Give me permission to pause
Let me breathe, let me be lost
In the quiet, I find my way
It’s okay to stop today
Give me permission to pause
Let the world just carry on
In the silence, I finally see
There’s a place for me to be
Woo~ Woo~ Woo~
Always moving, never free
Tied to every “should” and “need”
But in the morning’s golden light
I learn to hold myself tight
But in the stillness, I hear a sound
A gentle whisper calling out
Maybe I don’t have to try
So hard just to survive
Give me permission to pause
Let me breathe, let me be lost
In the quiet, I find my way
It’s okay to stop today
Give me permission to pause
Let the world just carry on
In the silence, I finally see
There’s a place for me to be
Woo~ Woo~ Woo~
All the pressure fades away
When I let my heart just stay
In the moment, in the now
I am safe, I am allowed
Give me permission to pause
Let me breathe, let me be lost
In the quiet, I find my way
It’s okay to stop today
Give me permission to pause
Let the world just carry on
In the silence, I finally see
There’s a place for me to be
Woo~ Woo~ Woo~
