Samsara

You're caught up in this world when

half of what we think is real

is really just a dream.

Could I forsake you all,

should I forsake you all

in the face of what's on me?

who knows...

 

'Cause we're caught up in this world when

half of what we think is real

is really just a dream-

With the school

the work

the things to buy

that will all be gone in the blink of an eye-

So I have a song for you all,

 

It's a distraction!

A distraction, A distraction!

It's a distraction!

Not from eternal life, but your satisfaction!

It's the school,

the work,

the things to buy,

that'll all be gone the moment you die-

And your spirit is starting to break

and it shows...

 

But don't listen

Don't listen to me.

Just listen

to your heart and let it be.

Don't listen

Don't listen to me.

Don't listen

but do not turn away.
