Lyrics (cc)BY 2018 D A Ayer

Hey, now…have you ever really stopped to hold your breath
just to listen to the breeze as it tiptoes through the trees?
Hey now, hey now…

Hey, now…have you ever really stopped and shaken your head
in wonder that the sky can hold the clouds all up so high?
Hey now, hey now… Hey now, hey now…

Hey, now…have you ever really stopped to think how many grains of sand
were scattered as Atlantis fell
and that yet no woman, child, or man
escaped with any tale to tell?
[and] have you ever felt the motion of the moon above the ocean?
Hey now, hey now… Hey now, hey now…

Hey, now…have you ever really stopped to contemplate
that the songs of certain birds are composed of human words?
Hey now, hey now…

Hey, now…have you ever really stopped to figure out
how to read between the lines to the meaning of the signs?
Hey now, hey now… Hey now, hey now…

Hey, now…have you ever really stopped just to think how long it’s taken
for some dust from the stars above
to coalesce until they could awaken
and gaze into your eyes with a look of love?
[and] have you ever stopped to wonder at the rolling of the thunder?
Hey now, hey now… Hey now, hey now…

Hey, now…have you ever really stopped to hold your breath
just to listen to the breeze as it tiptoes through the trees?
