about

This song is about imagining our belly is a big bowl of water that holds all our thoughts and feelings, and how breathing slowly helps us keep the bowl of water steady. And hey - if we get upset and the water sloshes out, all we need to do is take some deep breaths and it fills up agin! Every time.

lyrics

if my belly was a bowl of water

if my belly was a bowl of water i didn’t want to spill
i would try everything i ought to, to find a way to be still
if i imagined all my feelings in that bowl
my thoughts and reactions too
i’d make such an effort so that bowl won't overflow
here’s what i would do:

i would breathe
i would close my eyes
and i would feel just what it's like inside
and if the water had got ruffled up
and was splashing over the edge and onto the floor
i would take just a few deep breaths
and my bowl would be full once more

yes i can breathe
i can close my eyes
and i can feel just what it's like inside
and if the water has got ruffled up
and is splashing over the edge and onto the floor
i can take just a few deep breaths
and my bowl will be full once more
