In a world that constantly demands resilience, this week’s featured track offers a different, more compassionate directive: it’s okay to fall apart. This is not an anthem of fierce empowerment, but a lullaby for the weary—a soft, sonic sanctuary for anyone whose world has gotten heavy. From the opening lines, it validates our struggles with a profound gentleness: “When the sky feels unfair, let your tears hit the ground.”

The song’s true magic lies in its chorus, where ancient Pali mantras and the soothing Thai phrase “Mai ben rai” (it’s alright) blend into a powerful, echoing meditation. The recitation of sacred qualities—”Arahant… Buddho… Itipiso… Bhagava…”—isn’t presented as a complex practice, but as a comforting whisper, a reminder of enlightened qualities that exist within and around us, even in our darkest moments.

This track is a musical embrace. It assures you that you are “never alone,” encouraging you to simply “close your eyes, breathe in deep” and trust that “the dark always fades.” For anyone feeling lost in the noise, this is the sound of being found, held, and reminded that it’s alright to just be, one breath at a time.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

When the world gets heavy, it’s okay to slow down
When the sky feels unfair, let your tears hit the ground
There’s a time to be quiet
A moment to break
But the dark always fades
And the dawn always waits

[Chorus – Mantra Section]

Arahant… Buddho… (ooh echo)
Itipiso… Bhagava… (ah echo)
Nama… Me-hung… (drift away)
Mai ben rai… (It’s alright)
It’s alright… it’s alright…

[Verse 2]

You can feel lonely when no one can see
You can feel lost in the noise underneath
There’s a time to feel empty
A space in your chest
But you’re never alone
Just waiting for rest

[Pre-Chorus / Build]

Close your eyes, breathe in deep
Let the hurt have room to leave
You don’t have to fix it now
Just let go, we’ll show you how

[Chorus – Mantra Repeat]

Arahan… Buddho…
Itipiso… Bhagava…
Nama-me-hung…
Mai ben rai…
It’s alright… it’s alright…

[Bridge]

Even in silence, you’re still held tight
Even in shadows, there’s always light
You’ve come so far — just one more breath
There’s healing here, in every step

[Final Chorus]
Arahan… Buddho…
Itipiso… Bhagava…
Nama-me-hung…
Mai ben rai…
It’s alright… it’s alright…
