Every story has two sides
You can tell me which you see
But when the difference is done
That’s where you might find me
Men may come and men may go
I go on for ever
We don’t need to wait that long
If we want to be together
You see this and they see that
I can see it all
I am the fading of the lines
The crumbling of the Berlin Wall

Train Of Thought
05:10
|
|||
|
Everybody jump on a train of thought
The train of thought’s gonna keep you caught
Keep you caught on the ride you bought, oh yeah
If you wanna get off there’s a price to pay
It’s even higher if you wanna stay
How you gonna keep those thoughts at bay, oh yeah
Everybody say “hell no!, let me get off the train”
Everybody stay way low, lest you get caught again
Everybody say “I told you so, you’ll never get off the train”
And the ride goes on ‘n’ on ‘n’ on
Yeah the ride goes on ‘n’ on ‘n’ on
And my train speeds along along along
A long way from home
Everybody search for a little pleasure
Gives the mind a little leisure
Pleasure, a leisure that’s such a treasure, oh yeah
It doesn’t last long if it’s not within
You feel it slip away, and the thoughts begin
You never can hide and you cannot win, oh no

In Awe

|
Well I’m in awe, of all those people
Who live only to serve others
They do not rest, they never doubt
They don’t waste a second of their time
And they live only to serve others.
Well I’m in awe of all the mothers
Who are trying to save their children
They walk for days, they will not rest
They will go without food and water
And they’re trying to save their children
Well I’m in awe, of all the children
Who have nothing to eat, but they still manage a smile
They have no food, they have no shelter
They have no mother or father
But still they manage a smile

BE

It’s not gonna come from anywhere outside you
People get confused
You don’t need to go anywhere outside you
It’s all right here
It’s all there right now
Nowhere to go
Nothing to wait for
All you need to do is be
That’s all you need
Just be
Nothing else
It’s all right here
It’s all there right now

Nature Does It
04:09
|
|||
|
Trouble is, we think too much
We think our thoughts are so important
They’re not what makes the world go round
Nature does it
The finest flow of intelligence
Our Nature
Nature does it
And we do our best to block her, with our thoughts and our fears and our sense of all importance
She was doing just fine before us. Now look at the mess we’ve made
With our thoughts and our fears and our sense of all importance
And when we’ve done all we can to destroy our world
We destroy our bodies too
With our thoughts and our fears and our sense of all importance
And then what?
Do we surrender to that finest flow of intelligence, to Nature?
No, we create poisons to destroy her
We call them medicines. They’re just poisons. They don’t help her.
Let nature do it
Nature does it
Let her do it
Have you ever realized how many millions of things are going on in our body all the time, just to keep us alive?
Do they depend on our thoughts? No.
Nature does it
Let nature do it
It’s our Nature
Let Nature do it

Switch It Off
03:37
|
|||
|
There could be myriads of memories projected
And every day creates a myriad more
The mind keeps pouncing from impression to impression
Never finds the peace it hungers for
The heart is crying, wants to be united
The heart is craving the memories of home
While the mind keeps finding reasons for division
And so it stumbles through the myriads alone
The mind is a self perpetuating machine keeps on churning out the same stuff over and over again
You gotta switch it off
Which one is real, which one is false
One suffers agony, one cries for peace
Peace is in the one and not the many
Something that the mind could not achieve

Where Will We Go

Well I’m in awe, of all those people
Who live only to serve others
They do not rest, they never doubt
They don’t waste a second of their time
And they live only to serve others.
Well I’m in awe of all the mothers
Who are trying to save their children
They walk for days, they will not rest
They will go without food and water
And they’re trying to save their children
Well I’m in awe, of all the children
Who have nothing to eat, but they still manage a smile
They have no food, they have no shelter
They have no mother or father
But still they manage a smile
