The environment changed
But things are still the same
People often say
That you can’t run away
From yourself because you’re always there
Regardless of what you leave behind
You follow yourself everywhere
Things will be different
Who believes that, you?
Whatever you’ve always done
Is what you’ll continue to do
The change won’t come from where you are
Running may take you very far
But from what do you run
The moon and the sun?
Look up, they’re right there with you
Now what are you gonna do?
Run again, try to escape
The everlasting night and day?
Stop for a moment
And look inside
See now from whom
You’re tryin’ to hide
It is not him
It is not her
It’s not the boy running
Or the girl in the purple skirt
It is you
Now what shall you do?
Sit down there
In that chair
Take inventory
Of your inner story
Happiness you seek
Is within’ you already
But not facing this truth
Makes your life unsteady
From one thing to another
Never listening to your mother
She knows your problems
And maybe how to solve them
Take the time to think
Where could your new beginning be?
And say to yourself
“My beginning is within me”
