{lyrics - improvised}


closed my eyes
in the world of today
killing and murder
and i don't think i can hold my eyes open

close my eyes when i walk in the street
i look down every time i enter the trains
everyone makes me feel so uncomfortable
and i want to be alone
left aside alone
would you not look at me

every time i turn on the tv
and every thing is the same 
so violent
and everything looks so sad
when they say good afternoon, good evening, good night, and good bye
bad good byes
bad byes
bad morning
let my people mourn for the sins of others

we were all innocent when we died
when we died
if you happen to be in this lifetime
say a life
just say hello to you 
and would you remember me
remember me
and the promise we've made
when we died 
when were about to die
here's my calling out to you tonight

every time my eyes close in this room
everything's so closed up
and i feel so safe here

i like to travel around the world of today
see the people
and see the things
then i will like to associate myself with all

i'm holding up presence
what they can always be is
though i can be here for you

i know i can't be anywhere, everywhere
i'm not so omnipresent as he
who shall be unnamed

but you don't think i travel around the world
even though i'm standing in this room
this self my 
every time i feel like a prisoner
just like before
i don't think i've ended my term

sitting here
in enclosed with secrets
i hold it within myself
i like to impart it
one day
to those who can come closer to me
and i'll open the doors to heaven

and i only worship one god
and god is so beautiful
and i died so many times
i have forgotten how to live

don't you look at me now
won't you look at me now
wonder why we were brought back to life again

we're not here to re-live the past
not here to remember the things that we were
not to finish whatever the sentence of ...

we're here to begin
we're here to begin a new revolution
of the world's spiritual development of the human soul

salvation i am
salvation i greet my existence
into every one of you
let me impart the light
let me breathe my insights

how does one who closes his eyes
how does one who sits in this little room
and let us out
prison
goes from world  
sees so many things

and what does a man who sits there
does he know what the world is like

well i would like to say
the words
the words
of the vagabond named, andrew
of what he taught me

we go one living our lives today
everyone is in their little routine
everyone want to be saving their our lives
but they are prisoners of the working system

we never escape 
we never move away from what we want to be
we're just part of fantasies
that we keep quiet every night

to the one who encloses himself
the one who moves away
moves away into the little cell of mine
i am closing my eyes in meditation
i am not blind
don't you worry
i am not so enslave
least you might think

met a point of destination zero
where everything is at peace

travelling while being
travelling while being the one vacation
and all place 
everywhere
and all place
everywhere
and everything
you are
moving 
seeing
things that are in motion

so what do i know
what do i know
what do you think i may know
i have nothing to offer you
nothing that will save
nothing to promise you

hope you can see that within yourself
your true self
and you would know
and understand
and maybe one day realise

it wasn't me that you know
wasn't me that you feel that you know
you can't see a photo film on the hand

i like the saying
that goes something like this:
an unenlightened person
cannot, cannot, cannot,
cannot understand and enlightened one

the truth is not in this world
the truth can be expressed at all places
that you think can be expressed
the truth is
the truth is
the truth is that is transcendental truth

it means that it is not from this world
not what you can sense
not what you can feel
something deep down
but you can't really put a finger on it to say

and i am truth
not me not you
not anything from this world
yet i am truth

and if you realise this truth
your soul will be aligned to the one soul
of god that you are

and i will say
open my arm 
say welcome home
welcome home

welcome home

you are

(home) {/AOM}
