Tilt Your Chair Back

Tilt your chair back
Look up at the trees, let your hair down
Listen to the breeze, breathe this moment
Down into your knees
Let your worries for tomorrow fall amongst the leaves

With your best loved mug
Full of quittin' time tea, sip the present
Gift-wrapped from eternity
Lay a treasure
Deep into your mind
To dust off on a grey day when you need a ray of shine

When your weary shoulders start to slouchin'
From holding all that weight that you can't see
When there ain't a steady foot to stand on
And you're too quick to thinkin' on your feet

When your smile fades
When your heart lacks
Toss your carе down
Tilt your chair back

There's a time for working
Timе to get away, there's time for bailin'
Time for rollin' in the hay
Time for stealing
A little time back from the Sun
Borrow from tomorrow 'fore tomorrow has begun

And when your weary shoulders start to slouchin'
From holding all that weight that you can't see
And when there ain't a steady foot to stand on
And you're too quick to thinkin' on your feet

When your smile fades
When your heart lacks
Toss your care down
Tilt your chair back

And when the joy you found becomes ungrounded
And all the sound around you can't be hushed
When you find you're sittin' in the darkness
And darkness feels like all there ever was

When your smile fades
When your heart lacks
Toss your care down
Tilt your chair back
