lyrics

Om Asatoma, Om Mani Padme Hum, Gate Gate
SO MANY HOURS SPENT IN CONTEMPLATE
I THOUGHT I KNEW THE REASONS FOR MY BEING
NOW STARTLED I THINK SOMETHING LARGER HERE
AND ALL THIS QUIETUDE IS GETTING COMPLICATED
I SENSE THE SEASONS CHANGES
WHY DOES THIS LEAVE ME SO ALONE
OM ASATOMA SATGAMAYA
TAMSOMA JYOTIR GAMAYA
MRITYORMA AMRITAM GAMAYA
∞ÕM MANI PADME HUM∞
IN THIS DARK PLACE IT IS POSSIBEL TO OPEN THOSE EYES A LITTLE WIDER
TELL ME WHAT DO YOU SEE?
THOSE LIGHTS IN THE CORNER, RECEDING, ARE REACHING
YOUR SOULS ALMOST FREE
∞ OM MANI PADME HUM ∞
I WALKED THE NIGHT ALONE THE STARS HAD LED ME TO THIS DESERT
SEARCHING FOR A WATER THAT WOULD NOURISH MY LOST SOUL
BUT IF IT’S TRUTH I SOUGHT I BURIED IT DECEPTIVELY
I BOUND IT TO MY BREAST IT COULD NEVER SET ME FREE
Ω BUT THEN THIS MOON, REFLECTING IN THE WATER, SHE BRINGS ME BACK TO WHAT IS MINE, PROTECTED IN THESE WATERS,
AND THEN THE MOON REVEALS
THE BROKEN SPIRIT IS THE ONE THAT IS DIVINE
I AM NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE…Ω
AND ALL THESE VAIN ATTEMPTS AT ‘QUIET DESPERATION’
SEEM TO STIR IN ME THE WOUNDED BEAST
THAT CHANTS THE CONSTANT CERTAINTY
I AM THIS LIGHT, I AM THIS BREATH, I AM THIS LONGING
I AM THE GIFT I’M SO AFRAID OF A JEWEL MISTOOK FOR STONE
Ω I AM THIS MOON… NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE Ω
WE ARE LIGHT
WE ARE BREATH, WE ARE GIFT
WE ARE ALL
GATE GATE, PARA GATE, PARASOM GATE, BODDHI SATVA
WE ARE THE LIGHT, WE ARE THE BREATH, WE ARE THIS LEARNING… BURNING… TURNING… YEARNING
