🎵 The "P" in Pause: "Power of the Pause" 🎶

Song 02: Meaningful lyrics composed with a Native American Chill Hop vibe...for parents

[Intro]

Three seconds flat, that's all it takes

To turn those triggers into better breaks

Listen up parents, here's the key

To unlock the door and change reality

[Verse 1]

Spaghetti flying, door getting slammed

Heart racing fast, feeling like you're jammed

Point three seconds, that's how quick we snap

But hold up fam, I'm bout to drop this map

Harvard research got the facts to show

Pause for three, watch your wisdom grow

Sixty percent less stress when you take that beat

Makin’ conscious choices, now that's pretty sweet

[Female Singing Chorus]

Power of the pause (hey!)

Three seconds to transform (what!)

What you can do to turn back to norm

Breathe in deep, feel your feet on the ground

Turn those reactions one eighty around

Power of the pause (yeah!)

That's how we perform

Second by second, watch it transform

[Verse 2]

First second recognition, that's the start

Brain shifts gears, playing a smarter part

Second two reset, breathin’ gets deep

Heart rate settlin’, findin’ your sweet peace

Third second choice, now you're in control

Rational thinking, that's the golden goal

No more auto-pilot, now you choose

Trading heated moments for better moves

[Female Singing Bridge]

Ice Dragon's Breath for the little ones (breathe)

Pause Button press when the heat comes (press)

Weather Radar checkin’ in how we feel (check it)

Making mindful moments keepin’ it real (real talk)

[Verse 3]

Public meltdowns? We got the plan

Ground your feet, feel your power stand

Runnin’ in the street? Don't lose your cool

Remember your values, remember the tools

Forty percent less drama day to day

When you practice pausin’ along the way

You build emotional patterns you can forecast

Creatin’ connections to counter contrasts

[Outro]

Three second investment, lifetime returns

Ancient wisdom that modern science confirms

Between the trigger and how we react

Lives the power to choose, and that's a fact

So next time when you feel that heat

Remember this rhythm, keep the beat

Power of the pause, that's our way

Buildin’ stronger bonds day by day

[Spoken word Outro]

Now practice your pause, choose your anchor touch

Start with one trigger, don't take on too much

Progress over perfect, that's the game

Join our community, fan that flame

'Cause every pause is building something new

Teaching our children what we're learning too

Three seconds flat, that's all we need

Planting tomorrow's wisdom seeds
