about

Within every person there is always a battle raging. It is a battle for more, for less, for better for greater. It never ceases and stokes the desires and aversion that create constant suffering in life.

Moments of Peace is a song that describes how peace is created from within by opening our hearts and letting go of this battle.

The song was used to promote the "Moment of Peace" mediation movement in 2012

lyrics

LYRICS

He don't know what he's got,
So he just throws out the lot,
Hanging on to what's lost,
But when all the thoughts cease,
There are moments of peace.

She strings days into nights,
Turning dark from the light,
She see life as a fight,
But without prisoners released,
There'll be no moments of peace.

We all live in a world
With more oysters than pearls,
We're going fishing on a beach that's missing ourselves,
We're looking out for treasure,
But who are we to measure,
What we've got and what we need?

We live in a world,
with more oysters than pearls,
We're going fishing on a beach that's missing ourselves,
We're looking out for treasure,
But who are we to measure,
What we've got and what we need?

We're all fighting to live,
Taking more than we give,
With no alternative,
But if hearts were released,
We'd have moments of peace.
