gather round here people
gonna tell you a little story
bout a girl on the path to Glory
yes...she had to go through many trials of perception
before she could reach perfection
but she's always been ready...
she had to be a hustla had to get tougher
nothing ever came a staying wrapped in a cloister
She had to get wiser be the realizer
The boys in the hood are saying "Shizer!,
Wasn't I the kind to find the hurt she hides?"
That mothaluva needs to try his own mind for a time
She knew she had to test the limits of her shine
In society to see the signs and she found her shine
would sigh and her sigh would shine
until she could shine divine
(to each, to mention dimensions, its time)
And her time would come from rain as harvest
Through the cycles of breath and pain and hard tests
which beat upon the brain
like the heart beats within her breast
For in the land of lovers
how hard it is to lose the one we lust
but lose we must
and in this loss we keep the cause
of our earthly sorrow at pause
in silent meditation we wait
and moment to moment be patient
never cling without release within it
so freedom can ring and
please the planetary pull to enlightenment
evolve in trust with the animative rhythm
through the cycle of the call
cause she freed herself
she stays to teach us and free us all
"she is also one with mother earth and mother mary
she is the friend with you in the end, so never worry
that your path can be harried
for in her arms your carried
to see her Divine Countenance eventually..."
So the story becomes the story of your own fight to climb
the mountiains of your own mind
and the story of the one mind behind it, you find...
the one mind within us all...you can hear the call...
so you better be ready, because...
cause every mountain has its valley
and every height you climb has its depth to fall
and before we learn to walk we must learn to crawl
you're so close now i can hear the spirits call
behind your ego there's the power to make invisible the wall
and we must lose the ego
so we can freely go
amongst the straw dogs
and in this loss
keep the cause of our earthly sorrow at pause
in slient meditation we wait
and from moment to moment be patient
never cling without release within it
so freedom can ring
and through the cycle of the call
I know you free yourself
and stay and teach us...free us all
"for You are also one with mother earth
and one with mother mary
she is the friend
with you in the end
so never worry
that your path could be harried
for in her arms you're carried
to see the Divine Countenance eventually..."
