Permission

Permission to Pause 

Permission to Pause 
Reflect 
Revise and recheck 
Permission to take a deep breath 
We need it 
Retrieve it 
Get that ounce of air 
We all have time to spare  
Pause with permission 
Permission to Pause 
Inspite and through it all
What is permission 
Granted to do something 
With consent 
If times get too hard, you should vent 
Don't resent 
Protect your peace 
And you will see 
Everything will be at ease 

Permission to Pause 
Pause with permission
Do you understand 
What I'm getting 
(Repeat 1x)

Take a step forward 
Even when your back is against the wall 
You may stumble 
But please don't fall
Fall into the wrong thing 
Because of shortcomings
You have it all
When it's overwhelming 
Please Pause
Pause and reflect 
Not finish yet 
You have a future 
That will boost ya 
Boost your self esteem 
Your growth 
Giving you back that hope 
Sometimes we forget it all
Because we forgot to Pause 

Permission to Pause 
Pause with permission
Do you understand 
What I'm getting 
(Repeat 1x)

Bridge 
This is your season 
Everything happen for a reason 
The Lord will grant you it all 
Just remember to Pause 
Pause with permission 
Lice out your vision 
Reset, revise,  recall,
Remember to Pause 

Permission to Pause 
Pause with permission
Do you understand 
What I'm getting 
(Repeat until chorus fades)
