Lyrics by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo
Well we can try to see through all the madness
We can try to know what must be done
We can try to move unbound with habits
We can try to see the changes come
See the way without confusion
Sound the tone of pure display
Start the song of sweet compassion
Feel the love this very day
Why when it’s so like a circle
Must we go ‘round?
Why when it’s so filled with suffering
Must we go down?
And here are the Jewels, so precious
That we have found, yeah
And why in this time of auspiciousness
Should we be bound?
We can cut the spell
That heavy, heavy dream-like spell
Clear our minds with living light
That will take us through this night
Try to make it through this endless, long, dark night
Well, we will cut the spell of this commotion
We will break away from ego’s weight
And we will open up with pure devotion
And we will pass on through the Buddha’s gate
Clean it up with strength and power
Pass on through, don’t hesitate
Here it is, the final hour
I have come to liberate
And why when our hearts fill with longing
Do we still cry?
Waiting for the nectar and nourishment
We keep our pride
Holding our anger and jealousy
These things we hide
Sweet sound of freedom within us
Unveil our eyes
We can cut the spell
That heavy, heavy dream-like spell
Clear our minds with living light
That will take us through this night
Try to make it through this endless, long, dark night
