about

(the narrator awakes to find a new day- with the sun rising in the east, a new philosophy in his heart, and finally some hope in his eyes)

lyrics

i look toward the eastern sun, illuminating a mind trapped in things both great & small
this new dawn ever radiant, illustrating the pride that came before the fall

and it might take time to notice the jewel inside the lotus
that in all things the dharma permeates
that our pain can be abated, our inner peace created
that love is now, and transcension awaits...

in broader strokes of selfless thought, the insight manifests that all roads lead to here
an ego anchored me to trappings i did not need; that illusion defined my world for many years

and it might take time to notice the jewel inside the lotus
that in all things the dharma permeates
that our pain can be abated, our inner peace created
that love is now, and transcension awaits...

emancipate me from bondage, let these fetters cease to be
let all this conscious consumed dispel the myth that once was me
aware of all things in a nowness provident
a nature once lay dormant now rises sentient

and it might take time to notice the jewel inside the lotus
that in all things the dharma permeates
that our pain can be abated, our inner peace created
that love is now, and transcension awaits...
