Conduits

It's not right to look inside one's head for too long
You can get lost in tiny thoughts
And no one knows where you've gone
If you're not in the mood for gratitude
Then I can't help you
So many of us would rather live a lie
Than die in truth

So go outside and breathe the air
Don't be scared to stop and stare
Stay a while and be a child of God
Climb a mountain or go fishing
The heart beats without your permission
We're only here to be conduits of love

Ohh-ohh-ohh
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh

Spent all night trying to purge my mind
Of things from my past
When you live in photographs, you get nowhere fast
And worry's like sitting in your living room
In a rocking chair
It'll give you something to do
But it won't get you anywhere

So go outside and breathe the air
Don't be scared to stop and stare
Stay awhile and be a child of God
Climb a mountain or go fishing
The heart beats without your permission
We're only here to be conduits of love

Ohh-ohh-ohh
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh

And it's not good to spend too much time on the internet
Humans weren't created to be baited all day into guilt and regret
Entertained by other people's pain till I can't even feel
I look out the window and ask myself, is this even real?

Then I go outside and breathe the air
Knowing there's a rainbow somewhere
Even if I can't see it with my own eyes
Smell the flowers
Smile at my neighbor
Write a song with pen and paper
Marvel at the magnitude of the skies

Go outside and breathe the air
It's ok to stop and stare
Stay awhile and be a child of God
Climb a mountain or go fishing
The heart beats without your permission
We're only here to be conduits of love

Ohh-ohh-ohh
Ohh-ohh-ohh
Ohh-ohh-ohh
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
