Shakti

Ah, let go of today

To enjoy tomorrow

There’s no need to borrow

Joy that’s gone by

Every moment is filled

With its own happiness

With our hearts we can bless

Living right now

here here

For many, it seems

History’s no mystery

It shows in their eyes

For many, it’s clear

They relive the moments, when

Fear controlled their minds

For many, it works

Recognize, now isn’t then

Setting themselves free
