There is the life that you make
And the life that you are
On the shore of my inner lake
I drink wisdom from the mouth
Of a divine swan
How did these words
Come so close to the truth
If I could only rediscover
What I once knew
And it's an boundless sea of life
Where I find all that I need
It's a boundless sea of death on which I stand
Just be quiet for a moment
Let the trees have their say
You will get lost in their chants
May every stone branch and flower
Know thy name
You will never find
You will never conquer the truth
But you may rediscover
What you once knew
And it's a void filled with blessings
Where I will return to rest
It's a string that makes the music
Of the universe
Come into my heart
Come into my heart
Come into my heart
Oh boundless spring of joy
Oh infinite gaze of wisdom
Oh oceanic sounds of spirit
