I had a dream that I was running
Along a path by the shore
And I kept running
I couldn't stop to watch the sunset
or to listen to the waves, or to really talk to a friend, or to touch you
I kept running
I had to get someplace or away from someplace
I could not stop, I kept running

I am running, I keep on running
On this path to somewhere or away from somewhere
I am running and driving and thinking and running
I'm so busy
Got to get to somewhere or away from somewhere

And there are the waves
rolling onto the shore caressing the sand
Should I stop here to listen to them
to absorb their healing nurturing rhythm
And there's a sunset Brilliant pastel colors lighting the sky
Should I stop here and watch the colors change
a lullaby into the twilight (no I can't stop here)

I am running, (goodbye) I keep on running (gotta go)
On this path to somewhere or away from somewhere

It doesn't really matter where you stop
Just stop and be still, in this moment be still
You can feel, you can listen, you can be
with life, with love, be with me

And there is tree with branches and leaves welcoming me
Should I stop here to visit and climb and talk with tree
to nestle in those big reaching arms
And there you are with those beautiful eyes and open loving heart
Should I stop here to be with you and love you to feel the joy and the pain
(no, I can't stop here)

It doesn't really matter where you stop
Just stop
It doesn't really matter where you stop
Just stop and be loved, in this moment be loved
