Lao Zsu says to sit and wait
Be there looking for nothing
Just say, Today's the Day
Day after Day

The turtle holds the sphere
The snake winds around
The wall holds the clock
The seconds wrap around
Growing into each hour, each day
Lao Zsu says to sit and wait
Just say, Today's the Day

Is it enough for you?
The wall holds the mirror
The mirror holds the face
Perched with grace?
Not on the wall, not on the fence
Just say, Today's the Day
Let the seconds wrap around
Each time and place

The wall jumps the fence
The fence cracks the mirror
The snake wraps around
The turtle's elegant neck
Look in the mirror
Lao Zsu says to sit and wait
Just say, Today's the Day
Place wraps around time
The seconds sit and wait
Today's the Day, just say
