lyrics

Desire starts to ache within the mind.
A state other than this one: impossible to find.
If we'd stop searching,
We'd have what we want.
The wanting is making the something
Seem separate from us.
It doesn't make a difference whether we've got what we think we want
We think we want it but we really got it.
Total contentment - nothing left to want
When we stop thinking, misleading ourselves.
---
I still try acquiring something new
In hopes that it will refine the view.
Now forget that. The view is crystal clear.
When I'm here now, I feel you near.
---
Fear and doubt feel like isolation.
Love brings true salvation.
Love is it, it's all we want.
It doesn't work only through us.
This human form. Love's all around,
We keep searching with our heads in the ground.
Look within baby.
Tune into the heart.
A new frequency,
Nothing but new starts.
---
Like a boat on the ocean.
Getting rocked by the waves.
Turning thought into motion.
The grandest of displays.
Why do I believe in this,
When everything I know
Is swallowed by bliss?
---
Everything I know
There's nothing I control
Better to roll with it
I'm here, the right now is always clear.
