Equanimity - Paul Weller

What ya gonna do when the light

Slips from your eyes?

And what will you keep bar the penny

In your fist for the tide?

Become the joke because you can’t let go

You suffer hurt because you can’t let go

Give the penny to the boatman

See he guides you well

Reflect upon the water

As you reflect upon yourself

This river always will be here

Always rushing here

All traces disappear

So, as equanimity shows

To try and stay in control

And not fall apart

Slow, the ataraxy will grow

As the shepherd has shown

Gentleness and kindness

Is what our world needs now

Find it in my heart somehow

Oh yeah you know

This river always will be here

Always rushing here

All traces disappear

And soon, equanimity blooms

Giving scent to the room

You might not have noticed

Ah, and so, some self control

Might save the day

Which is worth saving

It’s what our world needs now

Let’s find it in our hearts somehow

You know, yeah, you know
