Quiet
The world is on silent mode
And it's making me feel good
We live in a rush
Gotta hustle or be crushed keeping up
That's how it was 'fore the world came to a hush
I'm not accustomed to doing nothing and adjusting's been tough
But when I'm in a rut
I go outside to see the world as it bristles through the brush
I'm struck cause I never noticed too much shuffle and buzz
Life abruptly interrupting has shown me I'm out of touch
And I'm not one to judge but I'm not the only one
Cause most of us are always on our phones too much
We got knowledge in our hands but don't use it when it's handy
We check up on the gram but don't check up on our families
We're overwhelmed by noise and stimulation
And I think Mother Earth needed a vacation
It's a strange time but one day it'll pass
So let's enjoy the break while it lasts
Quiet
The world is on silent mode
And it's making me feel good
Hear the trees like I never could
See the skies of a different world
So maybe we always should
Take a minute to stop
We got the world on pause and it's sickening
Cause blue and red are constantly bickering
When people disregard social distancing
It shows we put no thought toward the suffering
Cause we don't care I'm included in this
Had no idea Africa was overrun with locusts
A tornado hit Nashville didn't volunteer a moment
Australia was burning and I barely even noticed
And that's messed up I had to slow down to find out
I discount my privilege I'm not proud to admit it
But I did it so I'm praying that it clicks for other people as well
Cause we excel as raising hell and spreading evil
So while everything is peaceful take a moment to reflect
There's no need to worry bout what's gonna happen next
Let's focus on correcting all our habits and flaws
Cause we're gonna miss the time when it's gone
Quiet
The world is on silent mode
And it's making me feel good
Hear the trees like I never could
See the skies of a different world
So maybe we always should
Take a minute to stop
