LYRICS to "It's Possible":
Compassionate living
Is easy to do
The seed is already there
Inside of you
And can you imagine?
All you could do?
If only you?
Didn't stop you
It's possible - all you gotta do is try
It's possible - let your old habits die
It's possible - to change the way you feel
It's possible - to become the ideal
Maintain a loving heart
In the presence of strife
Awaken your courage
Reclaim your life
Observe anxiety
Watch it get quashed
With love as your compass
You'll never get lost
It's possible - all you gotta do is try
It's possible - let your old habits die
It's possible - to change the way you feel
It's possible - to become the ideal
It's possible - change your likes and aversions
It's possible - be your very best version
Be grounded and here
Let go of your fear
Dear inner critic
I wanna thank you again
I know you're trying to protect us
From going through pain
Despite your criticism
I hold you in kindness
But you can
rest now because
We've got this
It's possible - all you gotta do is try
It's possible - let your old habits die
It's possible - to change the way you feel
It's possible - to become the ideal
It's possible - change your likes and aversions
It's possible - be your very best version
Be grounded and here
Let go of your fear
It's possible
It's possible
Make it probable
Be loveable
It's possible - all you gotta do is try
It's possible - let your old habits die
Be grounded and here
Let go of your fear
