| [00:43.47] |
It was up some laughing river where I'd gone to spend the day. |
| [01:31.56] |
I had such fantastic visions I could hardly stand to stay. |
| [01:39.09] |
And I stood within myself and suddenly felt free, |
| [01:53.70] |
And I stood above the burdens that puzzle you and me. |
| [02:05.79] |
I became awareness that was shared with all around, |
| [02:06.75] |
With the trees, the sky, the flowers, and the wind, the sun, the ground. |
| [02:18.81] |
I heard the birds were singing and I found them same as me, |
| [02:29.13] |
And I understood our sorrows and why they should not be. |
| [02:34.32] |
I saw this plane of living, it was nothing more than faith, |
| [02:41.88] |
A skin that covered glory, far beyond our love or hate, |
| [02:53.91] |
A living crystal fairyland where loving is our grace, |
| [02:59.97] |
A pyromanic garden that knows no time nor space. |
| [03:06.84] |
I saw what we've been doing to it, saw it as insane, |
| [03:07.77] |
Still a marching like good Christians with our wars, the sword, the flame, |
| [03:56.10] |
To crush all those damned infidels, defend what should be shame. |
| [04:06.81] |
And again I shared our sorrows and knew we all must bear the blame. |
| [04:30.03] |
I see it all as part of us to know and share alike |
| [04:30.96] |
With a universal willingness to know and do what's right, |
| [04:39.54] |
To understand our brotherness and stop this awful race, |
| [04:41.49] |
Let our children grow in peace, know their life shall not be waste. |
| [04:42.69] |
First there is a mountain, then it seems the mountain's gone, |
| [04:59.37] |
But then, if you take another look, why, it's been there all along. |
| [05:19.71] |
We can be just like that river as it laughs along its way, |
| [05:50.76] |
Or stand beneath the shadows that take the sun away. |
