When life gets loud and the world gets worn
I find my peace by living as I’m born
Free from fear, free from doubt’s dark stain
I take control, no apologies in vain
I dance to my own drumbeat’s refrain
Living life without apology, it keeps me sane
In the driver’s seat, what no one else can claim
I find my sweet retreat and love and kindness reign
Cannot say I had much of a helping hand
So I like to help, when and just because I can
No expectations, no reward or fame
Just the joy of giving, in my heart’s name
I dance to my own drumbeat’s refrain
Living life without apology, it keeps me sane
In the driver’s seat, what no one else can claim
I find my sweet retreat and love and kindness reign
Imagine if we all did things just because
What a difference we’d make and for every cause
Create a world that’s kinder, more compassionate too
Where all know they belong, none left behind or askew
I dance to my own drumbeat’s refrain
Living life without apology, it keeps me sane
In the driver’s seat, what no one else can claim
I find my sweet retreat and love and kindness reign
I wish we’d raise our voices, hands, and hearts as one
Because a world starting with kindness cannot be undone
Then we could just live life, abiding to thrive
Because we’re all in this together, and all on the same side
