Verse 1
A sentence rose this morning
Like it always tends to do
Saying “This is who you are
And what you’ve come to.”
It spoke with quiet certainty
Like a judge inside a room
But when I turned and looked for it
There was only thought and sound.
Chorus
Just a thought passing through the sky
Like a cloud the mind drew by
It felt so certain when it came
But certainty’s a clever lie.
There’s the wind, there’s the breath, there’s the light breaking through
And somewhere in the middle
Just a thought passing through.
Verse 2
The body feels a tightening
When the story starts to spin
As if the words were evidence
Of who I’ve always been.
But look a little closer
And the story starts to thin
There’s only sound and colour
And a thought appearing in.
Chorus
Just a thought passing through the sky
Like a cloud the mind drew by
It felt so certain when it came
But certainty’s a clever lie.
There’s the wind, there’s the breath, there’s the light breaking through
And somewhere in the middle
Just a thought passing through.
Bridge
No need to chase it
No need to fight
The mind keeps talking
Day and night.
But every word that tries to say
Exactly who I am
Dissolves the moment
I just look again.
Final Chorus
Just a thought passing through the sky
Not a self that has to try
Just a moment forming words
Then fading as it passes by.
There’s the world, there’s the breath, there’s the life shining through
And somewhere in the middle
Just a thought passing through.
