Soft life

Here are the lyrics for a gentle, soothing English song focused on the "soft life"—embracing peace, slowing down, letting go of the hustle, and finding comfort in the present moment.

​Title: Softly as We Go

​Tempo: Slow, acoustic, and breezy

Instrumentation: Warm acoustic guitar, a light ambient pad, and a gentle shaker

​[Verse 1]

I’m letting go of the heavy things I used to carry,

The rushing hours and the plans I made to marry

To the noise of the world and the endless chase.

Today, I’m stepping out of the race.

The tea is warm, the morning light is low,

There is nowhere else I need to go.

​[Chorus]

This is the soft life, easy and deep,

Promises to my own heart I intend to keep.

No more fighting the wind, no more forcing the tide,

Just a quiet grace flowing deep inside.

We breathe in, we let it fall,

Learning that peace is the greatest wealth of all.

​[Verse 2]

We spent so long thinking joy was something earned,

But it’s in the pages that we left unturned.

It’s the silk of the sheets, the rain on the roof,

Living our truth without needing proof.

I forgive the past for what it couldn't be,

And right now, that is enough for me.

​[Chorus]

This is the soft life, easy and deep,

Promises to my own heart I intend to keep.

No more fighting the wind, no more forcing the tide,

Just a quiet grace flowing deep inside.

We breathe in, we let it fall,

Learning that peace is the greatest wealth of all.

​[Bridge]

And if the world spins fast outside my door,

I won't apologize for wanting less to feel much more.

A gentle spirit, a slow-cooked day,

Watching the shadows drift away.

​[Guitar Solo - Melodic, warm, and spacious]

​[Chorus]

This is the soft life, easy and deep,

Promises to my own heart I intend to keep.

No more fighting the wind, no more forcing the tide,

Just a quiet grace flowing deep inside.

We breathe in, we let it fall,

Learning that peace is the greatest wealth of all.

​[Outro]

Softly as we go...

No rush, no weight.

Just the quiet air.

Just being here.

(Fade out on a single, warm guitar strum)
