This track started out as a love song for my beloved and morphed into a song about the awakening process to the One Beloved.
lyrics
I don't know why it took me so long (3x)
But hey I got it now and I'm never gonna let it go
Looked all around me, it was not there,
thought I'd found it, no
Vanished into thin air
Keep on searchin', still nowhere
Then I looked inside realized it had always been right there
Oh
I don't know why it took me so long (3x)
But hey I got it now and I'm never gonna let it go
And you may ask me "How could this be?"
That I was so blind, I could not see
The answer, inside of me
And I'll say to you, just what I say
To myself
Om
And now that I know, you'd wonder why
One would ever walk away, from One inside
All I can tell you, is that I
May have lost my way at times
But now I've returned to
My One and only, Home
I don't know why it took me so long (3x)
But hey I got it now and I'm never gonna let it go
Om Shanti Om
Peace Prayer (recited daily by school children in India)
May Peace, reign on earth. May there be peace, in the atmosphere, peace in the entire universe, peace in all space and time.Peace in the elements, peace in the fire, peace in the wind, peace in the moon, sun and stars. Peace in the water, peace in the woods, peace in the goats and the cattle, peace in the forests and the plants. Peace in all humanity, peace in all beings. May there be Peace, Peace, Peace, May there be Peace, Peace, Peace.
