Everyone is rushing
Pushing shoving
Gotta get in front
I can't miss out on my share
Let me past
Can't you see
I mustn't be last one
Don't you care?
Don't tell me what you need
My kids are screaming for their feed
Crowds like this are what I hate
I'm sure that this will make me late
Don't you care?
What is it about life today?
that traps us in such a cycle
of endless pressure and stress?
Can't we stop for a moment and breathe?
Perhaps I can use what I have learned
from the First Truth of the Way?
To recognise that this sad stress does exist!
Think about that stress and learn
What is it? What is it doing to me?
Then this will teach me to know
where the stress came from
This is the Second Truth ...
that there is a cause
.... and if there is a cause, then
there can be an end to the stress
That's the Third Truth
.... and the bewdy is the Fourth!
... that there's a way out
The Fourth gives me the eight things
that I must think about
Yay!
