Kirtana - The Train Song Lyrics
Just because the tracks are laid...or just because your ticket's paid for...and some crazed conductorkeeps on calling out your name,you don't need to board the train.No, you don't need to board the train.Trains of thought will come and go,but you are not your thoughts, you know -so why get all caught up in where they lead?You are who these thoughtsare passing through - don't you see.You are who these thoughts are passing through.Be free. Be free.Even when you're feeling frightened,sad or hurt or unenlightened,you can find a peacethat underlies what passes by.Don't mistake the weather for the sky (of your being)Why mistake the weather for the sky?Feelings rise then fall away -even those you wish would stay,so why equate your sense of self with mood?You are who emotionpasses through - don't you see.You are who emotion passes through.Be free. Be free.What a blessing to have taken birthin this human form -with the chance to seethat who we are was really never born,can never die, is always free.If Destiny decides to strikesome version of the script you likeAnd make a melodramaof your endless cabaret,you know you can still enjoy the play (yes you can) -if you're still and you know how to play.Just treat it like a mysteryand view it from the balcony.Laugh and cry and stomp your feet,but don't believe a thing.You are who these scenesare passing through - don't you see.You are who this play is passing through.Be free. Be free.
