Words are flying out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither wildly as they slip away away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai Guru Deva Om,
Nothing’s gonna change my world,
Nothing’s gonna change my world,
Nothing’s gonna change my world,
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on, across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letterbox,
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe
Jai Guru Deva Om,
Nothing’s gonna change my world,
Nothing’s gonna change my world,
Nothing’s gonna change my world,
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter shades of love are ringing through my opened ears
View inciting and inviting me.
Limitless undying love
which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe.
Jai Guru Dev a Om,
Nothing’s gonna change my world,
Nothing’s gonna change my world,
Nothing’s gonna change my world,
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Jai Guru Deva
Jai Guru Deva
Jai Guru Deva
Jai Guru Deva
Jai Guru Deva
Jai Guru Deva.
