**Intro**
(one guitar note – then silence. Like waiting for permission to stop.)
**Verse 1**
Sun comes up – same as always
No fanfare. No reason.
Just... up.
And I’m still here – tired, tangled, barefoot.
**Chorus**
Surrender – stop.
No fight. No fix.
Just watch. Just breathe.
Just... be.
**Verse 2**
Yesterday’s ache – still there
Tomorrow’s shadow – still coming
But now? Nothing.
No rush. No run.
**Bridge**
28 years of noise –
And one second of still
Is enough.
To start again.
**Outro**
Surrender…
Sun’s up.
I’m up.
(no instrument – just breath fading out)

[Intro]
Mmm-mm-mm…
Mmm-mm-mm…
Quiet yourself…
Mmm-mm-mm…
Quiet yourself…
Mmm-mm-mm…
Quiet yourself…
Quiet yourself…
[Verse 1]
Wind is tearing through the house,
trees snapping like bones
Rain is hammering the roof,
windows cracking,
walls starting to groan
The whole world is coming apart
But I'll always stand with you…
right here, right now
And the quiet,
it’s calling us home
[Chorus]
Quiet yourself…
let the roar roll by
Quiet yourself…
one breath at a time
Chaos comes knocking,
wild and loud
But the center holds you
Quiet yourself…
quiet yourself
[Verse 2]
Yesterday left its bruises,
Tomorrow is full of shadow
Anger comes rushing,
hope slips into the dark
This ache sits heavy,
But love keeps fighting back
Not yet… �not now…
Just breathe slowly
[Chorus]
Quiet yourself…
let the roar roll by
Quiet yourself…
one breath at a time
Chaos comes knocking,
wild and loud
But the center holds you
Quiet yourself…
quiet yourself
[Bridge]
We're all in it...
anger, hope, and ache
Quiet is the fire
so that never burns out
No need to fight…
no need to run
Just stand up…
stand still, and breathe
[Chorus]
Quiet yourself…
let the roar roll by
Quiet yourself…
one breath at a time
Chaos comes knocking,
wild and loud
But the center holds you
Quiet yourself…
quiet yourself
[Outro]
Mmm-mm-mm…
Mmm-mm-mm…
Quiet yourself…
Mmm-mm-mm…
Quiet yourself…
Mmm-mm-mm…
Quiet yourself…
Quiet yourself…

Research conducted by Dr. Jenny Wagner employing inverse problem solving strongly suggests that the universe's matter might not be missing, with up to 85% potentially accounted for, due to the imprecision of the methods used to design our models. https://t.co/zE5GPVmIMG
Mathematician David Bessis discusses the nature of mathematics with Russ Roberts, highlighting its reliance on learning and imagination over logic, and shares stories of great mathematicians' intuitive approaches. https://t.co/NMlqy1E59Y
David Bessis shares compelling insights into the plasticity of complex concept learning and techniques of conveying them to others. He is inspiring in his excitement and our potential to learn. https://t.co/qeK3mM7wCh
Don’t let misconceptions about science mislead you into thinking Einstein was wrong. James Webb Space Telescope images are beautiful; they show things as they are and give us a deeper understanding of our universe's ancient light crossing expanding space.
In cosmology, redshift stretches wavelength and observed time:
1+z = lambda_obs/lambda_em
t_obs = t_em(1+z).
We are seeing distance, light, and time all together.
James Webb Space Telescope images are stunning because they do more than just showcase distant objects. They reveal ancient light that has traveled across expanding space for billions of years.
In cosmology, redshift means the observed wavelength is stretched compared to the emitted wavelength:
1+z = lambda_obs/lambda_em
And the observed time is stretched too:
t_obs = t_em(1+z)
This means a distant event is not only far away but also observed through stretched light and time.
That’s why images like Webb’s First Deep Field are so important.
In SMACS 0723, gravity bends and magnifies the light from even more distant galaxies behind the cluster, recording both distance and curved spacetime. This aligns closely with Einstein’s perspective. Light, time, gravity, and measurement are all part of the same physical reality.
