Lyrics

Intro (Soft Soul Vocal)
Somewhere along the way...
We started treating rest like failure.
And urgency like success.
Who taught us that?
Hook (Soul Vocal)
The sun ain't running
And neither should I
Every season got a reason
Every answer got a time
I spent years chasing tomorrow
Like it owed me something new
Then I learned
Life blooms different
For everybody passing through
Verse 1 (Soul-Rap)
I used to measure progress
By calendars and comparisons
Watching strangers win online
While questioning my own direction
Bad habit.
Comparison is a magician.
Makes blessings disappear
By shifting attention.
I was rushing through chapters
Trying to arrive at conclusions
Before the story finished introducing characters
Meanwhile life kept offering lessons
I was too impatient to recognize
Because ambition speaks loudly
But wisdom often whispers
Hook (Soul Vocal)
The sun ain't running
And neither should I
Every season got a reason
Every answer got a time
I spent years chasing tomorrow
Like it owed me something new
Then I learned
Life blooms different
For everybody passing through
Verse 2 (Soul-Rap)
My grandmother used to sit quietly
Shelling peas on the porch
Like she knew something
The rest of us were too busy to hear
Never rushed.
Never panicked.
Never acted like destiny
Needed a reminder call.
She understood timing.
The kind that can't be forced.
The kind that arrives
When preparation finally meets opportunity
At the same address.
Now I think about that often.
Especially when anxiety starts drafting plans
For problems that haven't happened yet.
Bridge (Soul Vocal)
Maybe what's meant for me
Isn't behind me
Maybe it isn't ahead
Maybe it's walking beside me
Waiting for me to notice
Breakdown (Soul-Rap)
The world profits from your hurry.
Peace profits from your presence.
Choose carefully.
Final Hook (Big Soul Vocal)
The sun ain't running
And neither should I
Every mountain has a pathway
Every prayer has a reply
I don't need to outrun anybody
To become who I was designed to be
The right life
At the wrong pace
Still isn't freedom to me
Outro
Take your time.
Not because you're behind.
Because you're alive.
And that's a different thing.
The flowers don't apologize
For blooming in their own season.
Neither should you.
