if you live this life long enough, you’re gonna lose again and again
people you love, all of your stuff… it’s only a matter of when
they say the pain is less when you can accept it… being here is joyful and sad
because all forms come and go as I am watching the show
I don’t mean to pain this picture so dark.
simply I am trying to say what is real
and what I do know- right on the mark- not what I think or feel.
I know it’s all gonna change… that’s it’s precious somehow…
that wherever I go, it’s always now…
I know the Spirit in you is the Spirit in me… and we are already free
if we live this life long enough, we’re gonna win again and again
what is our choice and what is our luck?
how can we be so wise and so stuck?
when we know
I know it’s all gonna change… that’s it’s precious somehow…
that wherever we go, it’s always now…
and the Spirit in you is also in me… and we are already free
