[Verse 1]
Clock in but I'm already seated at the throne
Not striving for a worth that I don't already own
Work from rest, that's the motion that I bring
Not working toward some future, better thing
The deadline's real, the emails keep coming in
But my value ain't determined by the state I'm in
I do my best, I show up, I bring the skill
But work from rest means my peace ain't standing still
[Chorus]
Work from rest, not toward it
Living from a place already secure
Rest, not toward it
I already got what I'm working for
Work from rest. Rest
Work from rest.
Living from, not striving for
[Verse 2]
Meeting after meeting, message after ping
But I carry a peace that don't depend on anything
External, temporary, here today gone tomorrow
My rest ain't rented, I don't gotta borrow
Peace from circumstances, no, my peace is deep
It's already mine, that's a promise I keep
Even on the busiest, most chaotic day
Work from rest, that's the only way
[Chorus]
Work from rest, not toward it
Living from a place already secured
Work from rest
I already got what I'm working for
Work from rest. Rest.
Work from rest
Living from, not striving for.
[Bridge]
Not hustling for worth, not grinding for a name
Not letting the job title determine my whole frame
I already rest, seated in the place
Work flows from that rest, that's amazing grace
[Final chorus]
Work from rest, not toward it
That's right
Living from a place already secured
Work from rest
I already got what I'm working for
Work from rest. Rest
Work from rest
Living from, not striving for
[Coda]
Oh… from rest
Not toward
Already secured
Work from rest
