Samsara's Edge

Hey Rama Hey Sita Hey Radha Hey Krishna Hey Macha Hey Tara Hey Brigid Hey Ram….

All of me Take all of me Despite the doubts I can't deny the temperature is rising Carry me I need protection for a love That flies upon the wings of our survival Lay me down to Lay me down To love We'll find our own way Find our own way We make our own destiny It's still my own It's still my own If I could know Love forever If I could be with you Again, again, again I get around you Now that I have found you After all I've done to you After all I've been through With you and without you You are the one There's nothing else out there There's nowhere else to hide There's nothing else to do There's nowhere else to run In spite of my insanity I found you I know I found you I know I found you

Within this earthen vessel Within this earthen vessel When you are the water When you fall you find yourself When you find you've fallen When you fall you find yourself Within this earthen vessel Within this earthen vessel All things are created And all things they will fall All things are created And all things they will fall (Hybrid Language Chant) Within this earthen vessel Within this earthen vessel — Lyrics derived from a poem by Kabir

Give me a sign Give me a sign Just want a sign Of this other love I hear your words I see your eyes I have fallen in the turbulent waves of a restless ocean I hear your voice I see your eyes You keep calling to me You keep calling to me from the other side (Hybrid Language Chant) The endarkenment And the ancient is scoring the silence There is nothing to do but wait for the beauty to penetrate your soul (Hybrid Language Chant) Give me a sign Give me a sign….

Ecstasy, smoke A jaguar rippling muscles to pavement He is looking into exotic eyes Lined with black Nubian pens Myth mixes with manzanita Mysterious eyes join with Another love-stained star Tattoo the folds in my soul in my body Tattoo the folds in my soul I have waited for you so long In the nape of my neck in the mouth of a raven Flying and cawing The spirits light work Tattoo the folds in my soul, In my body Tattoo the folds in my soul At a place of dripping oceans kissing the shores A rose opens, a rhythm pulls at the tides A song is waiting to be born It tattoos the folds in my soul Que belleza! Such expression of life spinning webs to nestle into faces Changing Yet eyes probing deep There are no limits The bottom cannot be found There are no limits The bottom cannot be found Tattoo the folds in my soul Tattoo the folds in my soul

Experience is not what's needed Only understanding Time is moving Life is changing New kinds of control take over our lives I'm not afraid of new beginnings You have taught me how to believe in love The phoenix raising from the ashes Revolution brewing all over the land Do you want this? Do you need this? Can you feel the changes growing All around? Fallen Angels Surrounding us with their desire Frozen beauty In search of meaning In the endless broken places Do you want this? Do you need this? Can you feel the changes growing All around? The struggle to survive in isolation Is dividing us all The temple of indifference Is calling me to worship material gain Surrounded by a disappearing longing For a spiritual life And our strength is returning And a revolution's stirring all over the land How are we supposed to carry on? Hollow prayers In search of meaning In the endless broken places Do you want this? Do you need this? Can you feel the changes growing All around, around

In the first world there were no changes No false hope No rearrangements Of a dream Of a mean Of a sinister machine Taking over the land and the minds of the people There was no drying the wetness out In about the same time that it takes to crawl Through the window and into the back door Because there was nothing but infinite space And he she was the creator creating the place of half water and half earth There was no mirth There were no tears There was silence, only silence Silence. In the first world.. The water rising Feel the water rising Sacrificing of love in the raging sea I hear their voices Disappearing voices Come on come on down to the river of love Then the division came It was only a name, It was like a knife, cutting the world in two And the people were divided Some walked the zigzag way, Others still remembered how to pray At night and in the morning, when the sun went up, And when it curled its feet to lay its head down The people were divided And the waters rose to the mountains high, And the waters froze to the frigid eye, Watching like two TVs Shining in the middle of the night It was the second world and it was such a sight! In the second world… Disappearing voices Sacrifice to the silence Feel the water rising all around Love is all that we possess Feel your heart in the emptiness Feel the water flowing all around us In the third world there was more of the same. Men became greedy, they desired fame The game such a shame. La Gente cinta cuenta they came To the city, high rise, rising above the smog. The dog, scrounging for a morsel to eat Beggars begging, guns haunting The eyes of the children Women no longer respected for their wisdom and love. Men no longer singing their heart's peace of a dove. There air was dingy grey, with nothin' to say Just glass and steel, nothin' to feel In the Third world. We have all been here before We have all been here too long Sacrifice to the healing place Sacrifice the story In the fourth world, make no mistake The heat became real, the meat was burned at the stake So the people went to the Four Directions They passed their symbols round and round They saw the buffalo standing with only one leg to the ground Its' hair was falling out, And without a doubt, the clouds began to shout The prophecy said it was a sign the world was ending It said that the blind zigzag ways were ending It said that the prayers of those who had gone underground would make a sound to the heavens and earth In the fourth world Go listen to the prophecy, the prophecy….

Praise… the roses disappearing still Rain…the ocean falling on my skin Sunlight fields of golden brown Storm tears on the water Oh Kinvara You have been lying beyond the veil Shame…he likes your eyes of burnished flame Full moon shadow Moonlight dream Wind blows through the valley Haunting silence faraway Child fills up the aching of an endless day Memories silent they ride upon the air Destined, my heart knows
