Lovers of Light

We can be lovers of light
No matter from what lamp it appears
We can be lovers of the rose
No matter from what garden it blooms
Lovers of light, seekers of truth
We can be seekers of truth
No matter from what source it comes
Attachment to one lamp can prevent us from
Appreciating the light when it shines in another
Attachment to outer forms & practices
Can deprive us from understanding truth
We must abandon prejudice & outmoded traditions
If we are to succeed in finding truth
If we understand this we will be able to see
That the divine light of truth shone in all the Manifestations
Lovers of light, seekers of truth

Oblivion
04:32
|
|||
|
As we grow to be true to ourselves
We will grow to be true to each other as well
And show forth a tenderness
Which is not of this world
We will all of us become elated from a draught of divine love
And that union of ours, that connection
Will also abide forever
Souls, that is, who will consign their own selves to oblivion

I don't know what I'm gonna do
Spend my life running from You
I dont what I've gotta say
I spend my days just fading away
What do I need in this life?
I sat down yesterday
And I tried my hardest to pray
But the words just floated away
They turned to dust in yesterday
I don't know just what I can share
I went to teach but I wasn't really there
What do I need in this life?

Children

Children
Left to drift in a dangerous world
Children
Face a fate so cruel
Dislocated, Alienated
Whether rich or poor
Roots in a selfishness born of materialism
That is at the core of a godlessness
Seizing the hearts of people everywhere
Sure mark of society in decline
Urgent, sustained effort is needed in the interests of children

Traces

She was born in an eastern land
Her daddy was a military man
They put him behind bars & left him with spiritual scars
And he left traces in the sand
She left behind everything not just possessions
All of her family & friends
God knows if she'll ever see them again
And she left traces in the sand
She's leaving traces in the sun
They took away everything from so many
Now they've got nothing to show for it
When they;re called to a reckoning
They leave no traces in the sand
She's leaving traces in the sun

Little Bird
05:05
|
|||
|
Little bird beating its wings
Longing to ascend
Longing
Never hope to transcend limitations imposed
Loftiest sentiments all revolve around a centre
Ascend to the station
The station conferred upon our inmost being
The station of the knowledge of our own selves
Striving to unravel
Unravel the mysteries

Where You Belong
05:37
|
|||
|
Somebody hurt you
You pushed back
You got tired and went away
Now you don't even care
Another one is calling you again
Come back to where you belong
You could have told me something
You could have helped me understand
You could have given me just one thing
What was going on in your head

Don't take it away
06:30
|

You gave me everything I have
You gave me what I needed but not what I wanted
You willingly gave me everything you had
So why do I feel bad?
I told you everything on my mind
I told you about everything I was hoping to find
You didn't say a word to me
You didn't say anything at all
I asked you for your thoughts
You told me that you already said what you thought
I asked you for your time
You said I hang around all the time
Don't take it away
Don't take it away from me....
Oh my God
What have I done?
Oh my God
What have I become?
I turned my back on myself
I ran and hid for sure
You knew I'd come back
I just didn't say what for
You keep me hanging on
You hold me up close
But you know that when the evening comes
I'll slip off down the road
Don't it away
Just take me away

Turn
04:33
|
|||
|
Turn around
Turn this life around
Where is the point?
Turning point
Where is the turning point?
Do I have the will?
Do I have the capacity?
Do I have the patience?
Do I have anything left inside of me?
Where is the point?
Turning point
Where is the turning point?
Tear these four walls down
Burst them open wide
Fear, doubt, anxiety & pride
Turn
