This mind is distracted
By many, which attract it
But when, oh when will this cease?
The attracted is met,
And the distracted is yet
In a state of distraction, dis-ease.
What we really want
We already are
Our mind is a trickster indeed -
It speaks of happiness
As some object afar
Whereas the subject itself is the seed.
Plant your self in your Self fertile
Water daily, with I-focus clear
Many will try to uproot you awhile
Let faith be your sunlight, not fear.
And so, just grow, a seedling of joy
That, which you are, cannot be destroyed
Live without fear, as a child held near,
For you are a child of this universe, my dear.

I love and receive love
I want and receive love
I need and receive love
I ask and receive love
I hurt and receive love
I wait and receive love
I cheat and receive love
I miss and receive love
I deny and receive love
I receive then deceive love

All through the ages people have longed to
Find the promised land where all our dreams come true.
We have struggled through the years,
Through joys and tears and fears.
Holding on to hopes and dreams
That are never what they seem...
they disappear... and leave us here...
all alone... longing to go home...
But every single moment that has ever passed
Has brought us to this moment at last...
We can rebuild the world the way we want it to be.
If we work all together we can.
If we all join hands we can build the promised land.
We'll be home...
Peace on earth is a dream we share.
And this dream is alive in our hearts.
Open your heart, show the world that you care.
Now is the time we must start.
Peace is the answer and love is the way.
We will all work together and build a brand new day.
We'll be home...
We're going home...
We are home!
