lyrics

We get so attracted to the things that are so shiny, we forget / We get to distracted from the roots of grimy truth, it's about happiness / I want you to feel free and to be me and to be you in Paradise / I want you to not want to be me and not want to feel jealous myself, for health / It’s so good to be sun-shining, lying in the sun-shine with no spots, on your face / It feels so good to know that you got all you need to go if you just stay / Nobody out there can give me anything I need more than You / But they still deceive me and I know it will relieve me when I'm back to You / You are the allower, make my pen move and my fingers write Your grooves / Cosmic is the kindness of your Highness, Majesterial Protection / I know that if I stop talking now I can just go inside Your Love / I don’t need nobodies heartbeat more than I need that Open Channel / I don’t need no shiny objects more than I survive on that cool water you put inside me / I can keep on swimming in my mind into the ocean of Your consciousness /The strokes I take are discipline, and holy law is needed as I steer / But love is what I need to keep me pushing through the waves and coming near / here...
