Pure Consciousness

I rise up at the dawning of the day
And I listen close to hear what it will say
Yeah it's raining but the clouds will sail away
And it doesn't really matter anyway
The rain is beautiful
Yes it is
The stranger came to see the holy flame
He came without a shirt without a name
Yeah the holy men they laughed and made a game
Oh but the world they knew would never be the same
Come fire and come rain
Sing a song for freedom
A song for every land
Now tell me do you know
How it will go
The stranger spoke to all who gathered there
He told them there was magic in the air
He said duality is tearing you apart
Take good and bad and join them in your heart
You are pure consciousness
But the stranger never lied
And so they had him bound and tied
And threw him in a
Dungeon out of sight
Yeah that's right
Here comes the night
You do not have to rage against
The dying of the light
There's no one here to fight
and a wrong won't make it right
Now the story I have told you is a dream
And the sleeper has awakened it would seem
He rises at the dawning of the day
And he listens close to hear what it will say

Holy Ground

When it's time to start again
When the fire's burned to the end
I will be there
Right beside you
And in the forest the mighty tree
Is a little piece of me
And he is dancing
By the waterfall
Hey! The Sun comes up
The rain comes down
They come together on this holy ground
The Sun comes up
The flowers grow
And all I know is I don't know
I don't know anything
I'm a baby in the Spring
With a heart that's full of love
And the grace of God above
I will be there
Right beside you
And in the ocean the mighty whale
Sings a single ancient tale
And she is singin'
Just for you tonight
Hey! The Sun comes up
The rain comes down
They come together on this here
Holy Ground
The Sun comes up
The flowers grow
And all I know is I don't know
I don't know anything
I'm a baby in the Spring

Our Father

Our Father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On the Earth
As it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our debts
As we forgive those who debt against us
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory
Forever and ever Amen
Amen

Don't cry my Maria
I sure am glad to see ya babe
It's really been a long long time
(It's really been a long long time)
Now me and Judas and the boys were making some noise
And now they're trying me for high crimes
(Tryin me for high crimes)
Delivered me to Pilate
Who washed his hands
When I told him that I am what you say I am
(When I told him that I am what you say I am)
The priests sent down a ruling
To kill me in the name of the law
(They're gonna kill me in the name of the law)
So now I'm crucified
I'm hangin high
And all my friends can do is wail and cry
Forgive them Father they know not what they do
They'll probably turn around and put it on you
I should have known it since I heard the call
I'd end up hanging round with y'all
You know when I was born
Three wise men came
(When I was born)
And they showered me with presents from a foreign land
(When I was born)
Said to come and see them when the child became a man
(Long ago)
So when I hit Thirteen it was time to go
(When I was Thirteen)
Already teaching to the preachers what they're supposed to know
(When I was Thirteen)
I packed a piece of bread in my bag and I hit the road
(Long ago)
Man I got all the way to Kathmandu
(Kathmandu)
High up a mountain top I found a Sadhu
(I found a Sadhu)
He had a dreadlock like a banyan tree
He packed a chillum and he smoked with me
Believe me Father they know all about you
And they know just what to do
So I studied with the Brahmins but we didn't jive
'Cause I was teaching the untouchables and staying alive
(We didn't jive)
I said it wasn't right
Made my flight from Juggernaut in the night
(I take my flight from Juggernaut in the night)
And then I heard about the Buddha
I saw the holy stupa
(Om Mani Padme Hum)
I was introduced to Taras and they know the Kama Sutra
(Know the Kama Sutra)
That's when I knew it was time I better come back home
To you Mary
But first the Yogis taught me how to meditate
(Om Om Om Om)
And how your medicine is on your plate
I learned the magic of the healing hand
(I learned the magic)
I found creation in a grain of sand
(i found creation)
I could have stayed there for a life or two
(I coulda stayed there)
But I was coming on back for you
Now Mary don't go
With no one else
I only need Three days to heal myself
And you and me are goin on a trip to the top of the world
(On a trip to the top of the world)
I'm gonna take you to a valley of Gold and Green
(Gold and Green)
You're gonna see the highest peaks the world's ever seen
(Ever seen)
And we can start a family
Forever and ever Amin
So now in Srinagar in old Kashmir
(Old Kashmir)
There is a legend that you're bound to hear
There lived a saint named Issa the Kind
Helping the poor
He was healing the blind
They got a shrine there with his footprints too
And baby you can even see right through
