Zen Meditation by Leslie Nuss

Sometimes your mind plays tricks on you
You forget about what you want to do
You think you can’t try something new
But forget about forget about it
You stop and think about what was said
Words float around inside of your head
You think you’d rather stay safe in bed
But forget about forget about it

Do not think about it focus on the task at hand
Life is after all just a zen meditation
Do not think about it focus on the task at hand
Life is after all just a zen meditation

Sometimes things seem to be all wrong
You wonder if you can hold on
You start to think that you’re not so strong
Just forget about forget about it
Sometimes you think you cannot see
Where it is you need to be
You think you need divine prophecy
But forget about forget about it

Do not think about it focus on the task at hand
Life is after all just a zen meditation
Do not think about it focus on the task at hand
Life is after all just a zen meditation

You can understand it if you really try—don’t think about it
You can understand it if you really try

Don’t listen to what anybody tells you
You’re the only one who controls your destiny
Turn on tune in drop out is what they used to say
Many years have come and gone but you can learn to live today
Into the future the only place that you can go
You want to move ahead everybody seems so slow
Don’t lose your focus stick to what you know is true
Everything will come together do the things you need to do
—zen meditation

Do not think about it focus on the task at hand
Life is after all just a zen meditation
Do not think about it focus on the task at hand
Life is after all just a zen meditation
